| Module objectives/intended learning outcomes | Students are able to explain the fundamental concepts of mineralogy, including mineral classification and crystallographic systems.Students are able to identify and analyze the physical and chemical properties of minerals through direct observation and laboratory experiments.Students are able to apply basic and instrumental techniques to characterize minerals and interpret their chemical compositions.Students are able to evaluate the roles of minerals in environmental, technological, and educational contexts.Students are able to design and develop learning activities or teaching materials that integrate mineralogy concepts into chemistry education. |
| Content | This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of minerals from both chemical and educational perspectives. The topics include the definition and classification of minerals, crystallography and crystal systems, physical and chemical properties of minerals, and methods of mineral identification through macroscopic, chemical, and instrumental approaches such as XRD and FTIR. The course also covers the roles of minerals in environmental and technological applications, as well as their relevance in daily life. In addition, students will explore how mineralogy can be integrated into chemistry education through laboratory experiments, contextual learning, and STEM-based teaching approaches, with an emphasis on the utilization of local mineral resources. |
