On The Basis Of Chemistry Teaching Students To Explore Learning Constructivist Theory

It is emphasized in the new reformation plan of chemical curriculum that science inquiry should be the breakthrough point in chemical curriculum and instruction, the learning style of students should be improved and at the same time the scientific literacy of students should be cultivated. In order to achieve the goal effectively, the students must first of all know how to inquire, that it to say, they should grasp the inquiry methods which is the key point in developing the inquiry learning activities which guarantees the achievement of the new reformation plan of chemistry instruction.Based on the constructivism theory, following the suggestions and requests in the Fully Time Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards of Chemistry (experiment draft), this thesis makes it clear that the experimental inquiry and the investigating inquiry are the main approaches in the inquiry learning activities. After analyzing these two approaches in detail, the author proposes some concrete learning in scientific inquiry activities according to the characteristics of these two inquiry approaches. They are inquiry experiments, observation, designing the experiment, deducing, differentiating and measuring which are based on the experiments; visiting, reading, collecting materials , asking and investigation which are based on the investigation.Finally, the author suggests several corresponding instructional strategies in how to create the interests of students to inquire and how to evaluate the students' achievements that may serve as useful reference in developing the inquiry activities.
