Abstract This study selected the novice chemistry teachers with one year teaching experiences as object, investigated their understanding of effective teaching, and found that:39% of the novice chemistry teachers could only achieve one dimension of the characteristics of effective teaching; only 8% of the novice chemistry teachers could achieve four dimensions or more, and 64% of the novice chemistry teachers could realize the characteristics of "reasonable design and implementation of teaching objectives". The novice chemistry teachers' understanding of effective teaching strategies mainly focused on "effective teaching design (50%)" and "outstanding students' subject position (53%)". The novice chemistry teachers' understanding of influence factors of effective teaching mainly concentrated on "teachers' professional literacy" and "students' levels of ability", rarely mentioned "students' preview and review after class" or other objective factors, and the novice chemistry teachers had narrow understanding of effective teaching misunderstanding. This paper also put forward some suggestions for novice chemistry teachers and educational institutions.
