High School Chemistry Cooperative Learning Research And Practice

Cooperative learning is a teaching strategy which is based on the democracy between students and teachers and in accordance with group evaluation and group rewarding, which has heterogeneous groups as its basic organizing form and focuses on multilateral interaction so as to promote the development of students' cooperation consciousness and cooperation skills, to form their positive emotion, and to increase their cognitive level.On the outline introduction of history and present research on cooperative learning and deep introspection of current senior high school education in China, this thesis brings up a target. To lay a solid research foundation, the writer has studied the theory of cooperative learning and understood its theoretical foundation, pointing that some essentials are to bring up the cooperation learning into practice. Combining these essentials, the writer concludes how cooperative learning works.To make practical research more intended, the writer has designed a questionnaire on present conditions of cooperation consciousness and cooperation skills of high school students according to the five factors of cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill, and has investigated part of the high schools, the writer has drawn five conclusions: (1) There is no obvious difference between students of different grades in senior high school in their cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level; (2) There is no obvious difference between students of different sexes in senior high school in their cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level;(3) There is an obvious difference between a single-child and a non-single-child in cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level. Cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level of a single-child are lower than those of a non-single-child; (4) There is no obvious difference between students from town schools and countryside schools in their cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level; (5) There is no obvious difference between students with different academic record in senior high school in their cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level.According to the above theoretical research and investigation and choosing students from three grades of part of the senior high schools as objects of study, the writer has mainly carried out a quasi-experimental research on cooperative learning in chemistry teaching in senior high school as well as a qualitative research. In the research process, a stable and easy-to-operate cooperative learning model for senior high school chemistry classroom teaching has been constructed; a cooperative learning instruction and evaluation strategy has been established ; an effective method of cooperation skill training has been formed , and five conclusions have been reached:(1)By using cooperative learning we can effectively promote students' cooperation consciousness and cooperation skill level. Systematic training and guiding strategy have advantages over non-systematic training and guiding; (2)Adoption of cooperative learning can effectively increase students' learning interest in chemistry and improve students' learning attitude in senior high school; (3) Application of cooperative learning can effectively increase the academic record of students in their chemistry study in senior high school; (4) By comparing cooperative learning with regular learning, long time study is found to be more effective than short time study; (5) Cooperative learning is more effective than regular learning when the study contents are full of challenges.
