High School Chemistry Learning Interest In The Investigation And Interest In Learning Strategies

On the basis of the psychological and pedagogical theory about learning interest, Questionnaire on Senior Middle School Students' Chemistry -Learning Interest was formulated, combined with the author's and other teachers' teaching experience. Altogether 542 students of two senior middle schools were surveyed in the aspect of chemistry-learning interest. Not for any diagnostic test, the questionnaire was only for research. It aimed at revealing the features of students' interest in chemistry-learning and guiding the teaching practice by describing and explaining what had been collected. And then an experimental study was made by applying the natural experimental method. Meanwhile, a case study was made of several students, laying a solid basis of the study. Founded on the collected data, senior middle school students' features of chemistry-learning interest and their changes were analyzed and explained. At the same time, the significance and function of cultivating students' learning interest as well as concrete teaching measures were dealt with in the course of practice. The study hopes that students' individual characters will be fully developed while cultivating students' thinking ability, the spirit of creativity in harmony with students' physical and mental development.
