Abstract In order to gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge building habits and levels of pre-service chemistry teachers in local teachers colleges, to explore their learning progress in basic professional courses in universities, we have adopted the "Thermochemistry" academic case of "combination of scientific reading and scientific writing features" in physical chemistry courses. As a carrier, self-study activities are conducted under the guidance of the students in the case study, and scientific writing is performed on the basis of reading textbooks and literature. The scale tools were used to evaluate college students' self-learning effects and reflection activities. Scientific writing works were evaluated using SOLO classification, and students' scientific reading was evaluated using KWL tools. It was found that the study subject's learning motivation is not strong and they are not good at linking the existing professional curriculum knowledge in the new subject knowledge learning. The level of construction activities based on text learning was extremely low, probably because their basic knowledge in the context of the examination did not form a system. No metacognitive learning strategies have been cultivated in prerequisite courses.
