Integrating technology into chemistry teaching and learning is a transformative approach that empowers students and educators alike, creating a dynamic learning environment that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of chemistry. Therefore, the theme of the conference is planned as “Chemistry Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”. With an increasing trend of integration of technology into chemistry teaching and learning in the upcoming years, it is clear that artificial intelligence (AI) will be the dominating technology development with big data and mobile technologies. Therefore, chemistry education researchers should not be staying behind this increasing trend. With the support of AI, trends are going towards transforming research in CER into personalized learning environments, intelligent tutoring systems, big data analysis, virtual laboratories, adaptive assessment systems based on real-time feedback, natural language processing (NLP), predictive analytics and AI-supported decision-making systems. Therefore, choosing AI as a theme for the conference may direct attention to the effective integration of technology into CER together with traditional research topics.
Proposed Topics for the ICCECRICE 2026:
- Ethical and Responsible Use of Artificial intelligence in Chemistry Education
