Cultivate The Students' Scientific Attitude In The Teaching Of Chemistry Experiments

Scientific attitudes mean the attitudes of strictly obeying laws and a down-to-earth style of work. Chemical experiment teaching of high school helps train students' serious and strict attitude, as well as make students form chemistry concept and grasp basic theories.In order to find out chemical experiment teaching and studying situation and the students' scientific attitude in our middle school at present, we has carried on the questionnaire survey to about 500 students from 5 high schools in the province from November in 2005 to May in 2006. The survey shows that high school students do few chemical experiments at present, that they don't get into a good habit of doing experiments and that it often occurs that they don't seek truth from facts in the lab.To develop students' scientific attitudes, I have done some researches on the following aspects. Firstly, students develop the strict and serious attitude by doing some experiment drills in the lab. Secondly, students develop the "seek truth from facts" attitude by truthfully taking notes of results. Thirdly, students can enjoy cooperation, toleration and exploration by group activities. Last, teachers educate students to have the scientific attitude by setting good examples.By over-one-year's practice, it is found out that, students' habitual changes of doing experiments have taken place to some extent. For example, they always plan to do their homework on time; besides, they get on better with one another and cooperate better. It is showed that teachers are able to raise students' scientific attitudes by experiment teaching.
