Happy chemical education (HCE)

Abstract

The number of students who want to specialize in chemistry is decreasing, and there is a growing discontentment about science. Chemistry education is faced with a crisis in China as well as other parts of the world. This attitude has caused the chemists of the older generation to become concerned (J). Unfortunately, with the traditional teaching methods, the beauty and practicality of chemistry has been dulled by lists of unrelated facts and theories without application. The study of chemistry, which can be far more interesting than other subjects, has become flat, insipid, and unattractive to students (2). Such presentations bring unnecessary anxiety and frustration to the students (3). Chemical education must maintain contact with reality, and this is the impetus for writing this paper.

Correcting Students’ Misconception in Acid and Base Concept Using Pdeode Instruction Strategy

Unsynchronicity chemistry learning with daily life is also expressed by Aikenhead (2003) and Shen (1993) as one of the reasons why students do not understand concept of chemistry well.…”

Ortaöğretimde Kimya Dersi Öğretim Programı İçin Yeşil Örnekler

“…Öğrenciler kimyadaki bilgilerin soyut olmadığını aksine kendi yaşantılarıyla direk olarak ilişkisi olduğunu algılarlarsa, ona karşı ilgi ve tutumları da artacağı için dersi hissederek öğrenirler. Kimya öğretimi, öğrencilerin yaşadıkları hayat, ihtiyaçları ve arzuları ile ilişkili olduğu zaman onların öğrenmeye karşı motivasyonunu sağlayabilir (Ayas, Çepni, Johnson, & Turgut, 1997;Turgut, Baker, Cunningham, & Pipum, 1997;Shen, 1993).…”
