Abstract During the period of 2012-2022, 28 articles from American Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) and 49 articles from Chinese Journal of Chemical Education on the theme of “chemical bond” were selected as the research object. By analyzing and comparing their research paradigms,research objects,research methods,theoretical bases,research themes and content, the results showed that: JCE focused on empirical research, the research objects were students from different academic stages, the research methods were biased towards quantitative research, the theoretical basis was mainly educational psychology, the concept understanding of chemical bond, teaching strategies, teaching methods, etc., and the integration of modern information technology, scientific experiments and teaching was emphasized. In Chinese Journal of Chemical Education, the proportion of empirical research and speculative research was balanced, the research object was mainly senior high school students, the qualitative research method was adopted, the teaching design of chemical bond was paid attention to, and the cognitive situation of students was paid attention to. According to the comparative results, some suggestions were put forward to provide reference for the subsequent teaching and research of chemical bonding.
