Abstract: Background/purpose: The current trend of training Chemistry teachers focuses on innovating pedagogical methods and developing students' holistic competencies, particularly their chemistry experimentation competencies (CEC). The CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) framework effectively combines theoretical knowledge with practice and enhances professional skills and teamwork skills, thereby developing experimental competency for students. The primary purpose of this study is to learn the principles of CDIO workspace design, provide the process of building the student's CEC framework according to the CDIO approach, publish the CEC framework built and conduct pedagogical experiments on the effectiveness of the CDIO workspace in improving students' CEC. Materials/methods: The research employs expert surveys and pedagogical experiments with students to assess the impact of CDIO-aligned workspaces on students' CEC. These methods allow for the evaluation of both theoretical and practical aspects of the CDIO framework's integration into chemistry laboratory settings. Results: The study finds that integrating CDIO-based workspaces into university chemistry laboratories significantly enhances students' practical laboratory skills. This integration was shown to support ongoing educational reforms and align with broader efforts to improve educational standards. Conclusion: The research concludes that CDIO workspaces play a critical role in advancing students' CEC and contribute positively to the quality of teacher training in chemistry. The findings highlight the potential of the CDIO framework to foster more effective and holistic educational practices in the sciences.
