Education: Theory & Practice
Modern Trends in the Science of Education
Absract. The differentiation of sciences was replaced by their integration. Recently the old pedagogical disciplines have amalgamated in the comprehensive Science of Education. The most dynamic part of the science of education is the Science Education. The old special didactics were replaced by the ‘3P-Model (Pedagogy, Psychology, Philosophy); the latter emphasizes the necessity of using interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary methods when studying the processes in the social (and educational) systems. A great number of scholarly journals mark the contemporary development of Science Education. The present state-of-art in this area is outlined and discussed. If the Bulgarian ‘methodists’ (specialists in educational methods) have the ability to meet these challenges of the modern education is also discussed in some details.

Semiotic Approaches to Chemical Symbols
Absract. Chemistry is a difficult subject. The students should transform the chemical information within three levels: macroscopic, microscopic and semiotic. The semiotic approach to the chemical symbols may be split into three more specific approaches, i.e. semantic, pragmatic and syntactic. This position with appropriate examples is described in the present paper. Some recommendations about improving the process of teaching/learning of chemistry are given.

Depsurvismeter, Multipurpose and Fast Tech Instrument for Density, Potential/Ph, Surface Tension and Viscosity for Molecular Interactions of Ureas and Biomelecules
Absract. Depsurvismeter, a microscale device was used for density () measurements of aqueous melamine, urea and methylurea with 0.05 mol kg-1 aqueous urea at 293.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K. Mean ionic activity coefficients (γ±) of aqueous KCl, viscosities () and surface tension (γ) of 0.4 mg/100 mL aqueous solution of few biomolecules were also measured. The densities are close to those of Antaan Paar (AP, DMA model 60/601) and Magnetic Float Densimeter (MFD) by 1×10-2 kg m-3, the potential to those of Leeds and Northrop by 1×10-4 mill volt, surface tension and viscosities to those of survismeter by 0.1 mN m-1 and 1×10-5 N s m-2, respectively, with 95.5% confidence level in data. It works for aqueous, non-aqueous, electrolyte, non-electrolyte solutions and biofluids. The starch showed higher and casein the lower viscosities with stronger and weaker internal frictions, respectively.

Iodine and Bromine Interaction with Trithia-9-crown-3 in Chloroform Solution
Absract. A spectrophotometric study concerning the interaction between iodine and bromine as -acceptor with trithia-9-crown-3 (TT9C3) as n-donor is performed in chloroform solution at 25 oC. The results of iodine are indicative of the formation of 1:1 charge transfer complex through equilibrium reaction. The stability constant of the complex is obtained by fitting the absorbance vs. mole ratio data in MATLAB software. On the other hand, the results of bromine are indicative of the formation of 1:1 charge transfer complex through equilibrium step and then conversion of complex to TT9C3Br+Br- ion pair. The rate constant of the recent conversion is obtained by the slope of Ln(Ao/At) vs. time plot. The possible reasons for the formation of TT9C3Br+Br- and unformation of TT9C3I+I- are discussed. The IR spectra of TT9C3 and its iodine or bromine complexes are compared and the effects of complexation on absorption bands are discussed.
Keywords: spectrophotometry, TT9C3, iodine, bromine, chloroform, charge transfer

Alternatives in Implementation of E-Course in Chemistry and Environmental Protection, Section „Transition Metals“ – 10th Grade
Absract. The present article sets a few possibilities of implementing of e-courses, completed on request of the Ministry of Education and Science, in the process of teaching Chemistry and Environmental Protection. Our anticipations are that the integration of Chemistry and Environmental Protection along with the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) supports the provision of a qualitative access to education. Various practices have been accomplished to include on-line learning. They have been applied when studying the section on “Transitive Metals” – 10th grade in Chemistry and Environmental Protection in “Yordan Radichkov” High Language School, including students from 11th grade. Our practice shows increased interest to the learning process in class. Unconventional activities are also included and these show particular competences to use where appropriate the already provided Internet-based and other information. These unconventional activities may develop skills not only for individual learning but also skills to put knowledge into practice in order to solve problems in new situations. The already made inquiries with parents and with students as well allow us to conclude that the combination of the traditional student textbook with its e-course version is the preferable from the inquired people alternative. However, they both emphasize on the teacher’s leading role in the process of education.
