Being teachers who are contacting andadministrating students every day, we should pay special attention to the studentswho have less self-confidence. The learning psychology of students is complex,though they have common psychological and behavioral characters of teenagers,the effect and appearance which is shown on each student is a personal matter anddistinct from one another.In this study, the reason why high school students have difficulties in leaningchemistry was investigated and analyzed in detail.
