Digital High School Chemistry Experiment Teaching Research

In order to understand the present situation of digital experimental teachingof chemistry in senior high schools, to integrate digital teaching resources, toexplore effective strategies of digital experimental teaching, to cultivatestudents’ scientific literacy, innovative spirit and practice ability, and toimprove modernization in educational techniques and educational information, thisthesis is intended to conduct a comprehensive, systematic research on digitalexperimental teaching in high school chemistry, employing methodology such asliterature research, investigation, and experiment.Firstly, we conducted a survey on the status quo of high school digitalchemistry experiment teaching. It is found out that students are interested indigital experiments, but have few opportunities to operate themselves; teachersare not enthusiastic or motivated to carry out digital experimental teachingactivities, their abilities in digital experimental teaching is limited, theactivities in digital experiment teaching is too simple; and moreover,distributions of digital experimental teaching resources is unbalanced betweenschools, thus the existing resources are scattered and not used edeqately.Digital experimental teaching is a systematic project, requiring joint effortsof various aspects. This study attempts to create a network platform for high schoolchemistry experimental and digital teaching based on digital campus network, andintegrate all kinds of teaching resources, including teachers, students, otherteaching resources.On the basis of this platform, a series of teaching strategieare propsed: integration and development of digital teaching resources,diversification of teaching media, combination of autonomous cooperative learningand exploration, and combiniation of classroom teaching and extracurricularactivities. Therefore, we can carry out a variety of digital experimental teachingactivities to meet the students’interest and demand in digital experiment; carryout virtual simulation experimental activities to provide students with moreexperimental opportunities; organize learning or training programs for teachersto change their ideas and improve their capacity in digital experimental teaching, and eventually encourage teachers to take an active part in the development ofdigital experiment teaching activities.Furthermore, an experimental teaching is conducted in order to verify theeffectiveness of the proposed teaching strategies.The results proves that digitalexperimental activites are effective approachs to cultivate students’ scientificliteracy, innovation spirit and practice ability.
