In the preface, the editors explain their use of the notion of chemistry education instead of the historically established term chemical education. They justify their decision by the fact that chemistry education research deals with ‘the teaching and learning of chemistry, rather than with chemicals per se.’ Of course this is true, and at the same time it explains the need for books like this about chemistry education research (CER).

Ingo Eilks reviews Tools of chemistry education research and explains why he recommends the book for graduate students.
