Show Abstract ( 13 )
Systems thinking is an important part of core literacy with three core skills of “identifying system organization”, “analyzing system behavior” and “building system model”, which can help students deal with real and complex problems, so it’s especially important to cultivate students’ systematic thinking in teaching. According to the structured form of content in chemistry teaching, students’ structured learning process are summarized and sorted out, which includes three stages of knowledge association structure, cognition structure and core concept structure. Relying on the three stages of chemical structured learning, a bridge between the three core skills of systemic thinking is built and three strategies of “knowledge association” “thinking method formation” and “practical problem solving” are proposed, in order to provide a useful reference for teachers to cultivate students’ systematic thinking in chemistry teaching.

Full Text: PDF (7418KB) ( 4 )
Show Abstract ( 10 )
This unit teaching is based on the concept of deep learning, focusing on the common core concept of “structure determines property, and property determines application” in chemistry and biology. Based on the lower level interdisciplinary concept of “the essence of life activities is the interaction between particles”, this paper explores the differences and connections between the understanding of properties in chemistry and biology courses, thereby developing a structured understanding of the core concept, that is, understanding that the core concept is the specific embodiment of core competencies in chemistry such as “macroscopic identification and microscopic analysis” and biology such as “structural functional view”, promoting the integration and development of core competencies in chemistry and biology among students. Taking “designing low glycemic index zero calorie sugar substitutes” as the driving task, a series of core learning tasks are developed for students’ interests in sugars and sugar substitutes. Key questions with internal logical connections, such as “understanding the properties and main functions of sugars from the perspective of chemical bond”, “why sugar substitutes are sweet”, “how to obtain zero calorie sugar substitutes”, and “dialectical understanding of sugars and sugar substitutes”, are developed and refined into learning activities that promote students cognitive development.

Show Abstract ( 8 )
Based on ecological systems theory, a comprehensive model of learning engagement, and character strength theory, this study explored the impact of class atmosphere on high school students’ chemistry learning engagement, as well as the mediating role of academic grit and academic self-concept in the relationship between the two. Utilizing scales for class atmosphere, academic grit, academic self-concept, and chemistry learning engagement, the study assessed 502 high school students. The findings revealed: (1) there were significant positive correlations among all variables (r=0.32~0.75, p<0.001); (2) there were two ways to influence learning engagement indirectly: one was the single mediating role of academic grit; the second was the chain mediating role of academic grit and academic self-concept. The above results reveal the internal mechanism between class atmosphere and chemistry learning engagement of high school students, providing reference ideas for enhancing students’ chemistry learning engagement in chemistry teaching.

The chemistry textbook of the People’s Education Press (2019) has two expressions about the direction of chemical reactions: the perspective of chemical thermodynamics and the perspective of the second law of thermodynamics. The article provides a disciplinary understanding of the two expressions, analyzes the confusing points that students may have, and proposes suggestions for textbook writing. The reason why reversible reactions can occur spontaneously in both forward and reverse directions is analyzed from a thermodynamic perspective,and the chemical reaction conditions include thermodynamic conditions, kinetic conditions, and reaction regulation conditions. A disciplinary understanding of chemical reaction conditions from the perspectives of thermodynamics and kinetics has been gained, and through examples such as Fe and O2 reactions, Na and O2 reactions, and 1,3butadiene addition reactions, the relationship between reaction conditions and reaction products has been analyzed, as well as how to regulate the influence of reaction conditions on reaction products. Teaching suggestions for the direction and conditions of chemical reactions have been proposed, as well as suggestions for teachers’ disciplinary understanding.
