Testing Students’ Chemistry Knowledge by Web-Based EchemTest

Active and intensive chemistry curricula designing at a higher education level has been done during several years to achieve comparable degrees around Europe. Universities have now implemented for a few years in practice the new curricula derived from the Bologna process. During this process common learning outcomes have been defined both at the degree level as well as at a single course level. To evaluate chemistry competence in those core areas a set of computer-based tests, EChemTest, have been developed and provided by the European Chemistry Thematic Network Association (ECTNA). These tests are now applied in research-based teaching in chemistry.
