Abstract According to system science theory, we illustrated the definition of the effectiveness of primitive system in chemistry classrooms. Using item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis, we developed a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the effectiveness of primitive system (EfPrS) in chemistry classrooms, and found five key factors for indicating EfPrS, these are the rationality of using time (RUT), the quality of teaching behavior chain (QTBC), match degree (MD), the quality of using resource and technology (QUR&T), and rationality of primitive content (RPrC). We further employed regression analysis to establish linear regression equation between EfPrS and these five key factors, and found that the QTBC is the most important factor to impact the EfPrS. Finally, using cluster and discriminant analysis, we identified the three levels of the effectiveness of primitive systems (high efficient, mediate efficient and low efficient) in chemistry classrooms.
