The objectives of this project will be achieved by undertaking a multi-country survey of secondary school chemistry teachers on their utilization of practical activities, with a focus on green and sustainable chemistry (GSC) and circular economy (CE)-focused practical work. The survey will be conducted online centrally but in the local language, facilitated by a task group member collaborating with and mentoring local chemistry education researchers and chemistry teacher educators from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), ensuring the global representation of a project addressing an important issue (IUPAC Strategic Plan). Teachers completing the survey will be invited to be interviewed by the local researcher, to collect contemporary examples of GSC and CE-relevant practical activities. Dissemination will include a project website, regional meetings, research evidence for Masters/PhD research in chemistry education, and symposium presentations at ICCE 2024 and other relevant conferences.
