Abstract
Since the start of the new millennium, many countries worked on the problem of school education change since the traditional school education, especially in science subjects, doesn't get the students sufficiently ready for life in the current society. One of the significant educational changes from the past years is the preference of IBSE as a new approach to science education.
As a part of the GAČR project we have created a skill test based on the suggested skill structure corresponding to IBSE requirements. The goal of the test was to map the level of selected student skills at the end of lower and upper secondary schools.
At the same time we used a questionnaire study to find out the teachers' opinions about new approach to the teaching of chemistry.
