Abstract Inorganic chemistry is an important core basic course for chemistry and proximate source specialties in colleges and universities. The knowledge points onproperties and applications of elements and their compounds in the teaching content arescattered and informative, making it difficult for studentsto combine the principles of chemical reactions with specific knowledge of compound properties and transformationlaws. Therefore, classroom teaching efficiency is low, and students tend to be afraid of difficulties. This study focuses on the “reconstruction” of the content and teaching mode of elemental chemistry courses. Through organizing teaching content and effectively teaching design to fan out from point to area, it establishes a “learning centered” approach, sorts out teaching content, and organizes classroom face-to-face teaching efficiently to break the dependence of traditional classroom on the class hours, and helps students build a systematic and complete knowledge system of elemental chemistry. By introducing TBL teaching method, it establishes the concept and approach of “learning centered”, and strengthens students’ ability and efficiency of self-directed learning, enhance students’ comprehensive abilities in analyzing, understanding, and applying relevant theoretical knowledge, and promote students’ value appreciation.
