The Application Research Of Cooperative Learning In Middle School Chemistry Teaching

Currently, as a kind of learning style, cooperative learning has been more and more widely applied in student-centered teaching practice, becoming a breakthrough and complement to traditional teaching style. This paper brings to light the connotation and value of cooperative learning by expounding its history and background. Cooperative learning is not only a kind of learning style but also a kind of educational ideology. The value of cooperative learning lies in improving students'academic achievement and classroom atmosphere effectively; besides the more important is that it effectively brings about a great advance in students' non-cognitive characters. Therefore, carrying out deep research on its feasibility and popularity has profound significance. Cooperative learning in chemistry directed by its basic principles and methods, in the light of chemistrical specific features is a kind of learning activity which guides students to study collaboratively in heterogeneous groups, thus promotes students' development in cognition, emotion and personality. And as a kind mode of cooperative learning, STAD has more strongpoint because of its evaluate means. So this paper mainly studies the preparative and procedure of STAD, include preparative of information and experiment; grouping in cooperative learning; base mark; choice of the right mcment, chemistrical problems suitable for cooperative learning; group studying; examination; group recognize and so on. This research bases itself upon Chinese classroom-instructed style. Because cooperative learning which is carried out in groups has its specific feature different from traditional teaching, some aspects such as class' management and organization, coordinating group activities, dealing with relationships among class, group and students, play important part in cooperative learning. This paper also goes further into the problem of teachers' role.
