Abstract

Innovation competence is needed to solve many global problems, especially in chemistry. Along with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, it is essential to achieve a better and more sustainable future by 2030. This study aims to map the views of experts’ chemistry teachers on whether current school curricula and classroom environments foster innovation competence and their views on its necessity for high school chemistry. A semi-structured interview protocol as a research instrument was used with three experts in the field to identify the need for competence development in teaching and learning chemistry and the proposed solutions suitable for teachers to develop students’ innovation competence in chemistry class. Findings indicate a strong need to enhance the learning environment to support innovation competence. A supportive setting with clear, structured resources and active learning strategies in chemistry education will significantly improve student engagement and learning outcomes.
