Kimyasal düşüncelerin ve eylemlerin doğasıyla, bunların uygulamalarının ve dünyamız üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılması, tüm eğitim düzeylerindeki kimya eğitiminin temel hedefleri olarak dikkate alınabilir. Bununla birlikte hala, okullardaki geleneksel kimya dersleri daha çok, öğrencilerin bu alanda yıllar boyunca oluşturulmuş, bildirime dayalı bilgi yığınlarını öğrenmelerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, hem kimya eğitimi programlarında hem de kimya öğrenme ortamlarında gerekli değişikliklerin yapılması, zorlu bir süreç olarak kendini göstermeye devam etmektedir. Kimya tarihi ve felsefesi üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, kimya alanının, kimya eğitimi açısından bilinmesi ve dikkate alınması gereken benzersiz özelliklere sahip olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Bu araştırmaların birçoğu, kimyada ve kimyaya ilişkin anlayışlarda, karaterize edilmesi ve eğitim modellerimize dahil edilmesi gereken, bir çoğulluğa dikkat çekmektedir. Bu makale, tüm eğitim düzeylerindeki kimya öğretmenlerinin düşünce ve eylemlerini zenginleştirmek ve desteklemek için kullanılabilecek bir çerçeve önerebilmek adına, “kavramsal profiller teorisi”ni kullanarak, böyle bir karakterizasyon ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak sunulan çalışma, bu makalenin yazarı tarafından yapılan sınırlı katkılar haricinde, Freire ve arkadaşları (2024) tarafından yayımlanmış bir araştırmanın, içeriğine sadık kalınarak özetlenmiş bir versiyonunu içermektedir ve buradaki temel öncül, kimyasal bilgi, düşünce ve eylemlerin doğasının daha iyi anlaşılmasının, öğretmenlerin, yeni geliştirilen uygulamalara katılımlarını destekleyeceğidir.
