JOURNAL CLUB (CHEMISTRY EDUCATION)
JOURNAL CLUB is an International Scientific Seminar in the field of Chemistry/Science education organized by the Research Laboratory on Chemistry Education and History and Philosophy of Chemistry at the University of Sofia (BULGARIA). The goal of the Seminar is to develop the ability both of students and teachers for oral and written scientific communication. The Journal Club is an overtly interdisciplinary forum, comprising not only papers on science/chemistry education, but also papers that themselves exemplify the highest standards of interdisciplinary research. Therefore, the History and Philosophy of Science is amongst the favorite topics for discussion. A debate on the problems of the university policy and management will be much appreciated as well.

Lecture: Home, Family, School: On the Pupils' Aloofness from Their School

Abstract. Most often students are not particularly connected emotionally to their schools. Such alienation from school is not in interest of the educational process. The article analyzes the main causes of this negative factor - the presence of chimerical community groups, resulting in strong and prolonged migration processes in society, and the collapse of the Bulgarian family, which is largely due to the same reason. Familiarize students with the history of their schools with their former prominent teachers and pupils may have a positive effect on changing attitudes of students at their schools. This idea is verified in the town of Dobrich, where the history of educational work is particularly intriguing because for long periods of time the organization and realization of the learning process in school followed the rules of two different countries - Kingdom of Bulgaria and Kingdom of Romania.
