Android applications as an additional tool in inorganic chemistry teaching: A short-review

Abstract

The concept of mobile access to information is present in all aspects of society today and it constitutes the digital need of the individual. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview and systematization of various easily accessible android applications for mobile phones and tablets that would promote proper understanding of chemical concepts, as well as facilitate the acquisition of knowledge in chemistry by students in both primary and secondary schools. Mobile learning has many advantages such as diversity, entertainment, communication, interactivity, but also learning completely adjusted to the needs of the individual regardless of place and time. The use of these tools has a great impact on a different approach in teaching chemistry and contributes to improving of the final learning outcomes. That is why it is important for every teacher to integrate technology into pedagogy and use it to promote student-centered learning.
