Chemistry for Today and the Future: Sustainability Through Virile Problem-based Chemistry Curriculum

This study examines how chemistry as a subject could be made more relevant to real life world of the learners. The reason for this study is that most of the present strategies of lesson delivery in classroom make the students to be disenchanted from science. Additionally, the society is willing to see the products of science delivery beyond scores and grades in the daily life of students. The only way this can best be done is to teach students in such a way that they can transfer science knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired into daily life practice. . The authors proposed a problem-based chemistry curriculum that will make the subject of immense benefits not only for today but for the future. Theoretical framework, the application and actual classroom illustrations of problem-based learning were discussed in the paper
