Show Abstract ( 181 )
The traditional theory-oriented teaching method emphasizing on book-knowledge and ingoring practical abilities can not meet the needs of modern teaching. A preliminary research on the teaching reform of sanitary chemistry course in medical colleges and universities was established in the view of constructivism. Constructivism theory proposes that context, collaboration, negotiation and meaning construction are the four major elements in a learning environment and students are the centre of the class. Teaching process and methods were reformed by scaffolding instruction, anchored instruction and the creation of a supportive and diverse learning atmosphere. Meanwhile, a new comprehensive evaluation system was established accordingly. In this way, the traditional theory-oriented classroom will be successfully transformed into a practice-oriented one, and the quality-oriented teaching objective will be achieved finally.

Educational practice is a necessary experience of pre-service teachers in normal university, and classroom teaching skills are important supporting conditions of pre-service teachers' educational practice. Shortcomings of teaching skills of pre-service chemistry teachers (junior students) based on the investigation mainly include that the mode of teaching activities and the using of media are single; the language of instruction lacks artistry and infectivity; the class-ending is not natural and fluent; blackboard writing is short of artistry, clarity and aesthetics; and teaching demonstration is unattractive and unimaginative. In view of these shortcomings, corresponding suggestions are put forward to strengthen the training in preparation stage for educational practice to promote pre-service chemistry teachers' classroom teaching skills.
