New Perspectives in Science Education
Christoph Bley
Institution: Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Chemistry Education Department
Country: Germany
Christoph Bley is a doctoral student in the chemistry education department at Friedrich Schiller University Jena since 2019. Previously, he graduated in teaching for chemistry and economics. During his studies, he worked as a student assistant in his current research group and held several tutoring positions at other institutes.
Christoph is a lecturer, at higher education level, in the field of chemistry education and teaches students in the fourth and the eight semesters.
Christoph investigates learning with dynamic multimedia in chemistry. In his research he tries to combine fundamentals of chemistry education with concepts of cognitive psychology such as Cognitive Load Theory. In his doctoral project organic chemistry reaction mechanisms serve as learning content, as they pose a particular challenge for students and fit well into the theoretical framework of cognitive psychology. Christoph studies the effects of dynamic multimedia in comparison to conventional static media. Measuring performance, spatial ability and cognitive load in chemistry tasks play a particular role in his research.
Areas of expertise: Chemistry Education, Higher Education, Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Load Theory, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, Multimedia Learning, Organic Chemistry.
