An Investigation Into Cultivation Actuality Of Experiment Ability Of High School Chemistry Competition Students

Chemistry Olympiad as the top event to select excellent middle school students with potential in chemistry subject, will not only test theoretical knowledge level of students, but alsoexperiment ability. Even though Chinese students have participated the experiment training with high intensity and difficulty, the general situation is still that they are with theoretical knowledge but weak experiment ability." Therefore, it is worthy to analyze and find out an effective method to improve the experiment ability of middle school students to anticipate Chemistry Olympiad.Compared with that of senior high school chemistry curriculum toexperiment ability of students, the requirements of Chemistry Olympiad is much higher, which is more similar with that of chemistry experimentcurriculum at university. Therefore, the trainer for experiment trainingof senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad should identify which elements is for experiment ability of senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad? How to evaluate the experiment ability of students anticipating Olympiad? How to providescientific and systemic training to them in the senior high school stage? There is few research to this issue at present.This paper mainly adopts literature analysis, questionnaire, interviews and other research methods. Firstly, it established a system of the main elements of experiment ability of students anticipating senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad. Secondly, it prepared questionnairein accordance with the relevant elements to investigate the present situation of the experiment ability trainingfor studentsanticipating senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad and analyze existing problems and reason. At the end, it analyzed the related strategy for experiment ability training for students anticipating senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad based on cases of experiment training.This paper consist of seven parts:Part 1:it introduced the problems in experiment training as well as the research status to experiment part of chemicalOlympiad.Part 2:it introduced the content, ideas and method of researchPart 3:it analyzed the theoryrelated to Chemistry Olympiad experiment ability training.Part 4:it states some concepts related to this research. It is to preliminarily build the elemental system of senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad experiment abilitybased on the classified statistic to outline of the Chemistry Olympiad curriculum, main test point of Chemistry Olympiad experiment test item and important instruments as well as the characteristics analysis to senior high school level Chemistry Olympiad experiment. It is divided into two levels:basic ability and advanced ability. It builds the detailed ability included by each level as well.Part 5:it prepared questionnaire according to elements of experiment ability for the senior high school Chemistry Olympiad students. It investigated six senior high schools in Hunan, which have got effective result in Chemistry Olympiad, in order to know the training status, analyze the existing problem and reason.Part 6:in view of the existing problems and in combination with chemical experiment ability requirement of the Olympiad, according to the chemistry experiment training practice of Changsha Yali High School as well as interview with trainer and trainee, it analyzed thetraining strategy for experiment ability for the senior high school Chemistry Olympiad students.Part 7:it summarizes, reviews and makes expectationto the research, provides further ideas to the researcher.
