Abstract

The three teaching objectives of "Middle School Chemistry Experimental Research" course and the background to determine the teaching objectives are introduced. The four teaching links of the teaching implementation process, namely collective lesson preparation, group guidance, grading and summary are also introduced. In the course implementation, the concept of "student-centeredness" and "learning-centeredness" are implemented to improve students' learning ability. During the course implementation, a "learning community" based on group cooperation is constructed to cultivate students' sense of teamwork. Formative assessment and summative assessment are used to assess learning outcome, 147 students' total score, individual score distribution and course goal achievement degree were calculated and analyzed with Excel. The results show that the degree of achievement of curriculum objectives 1, 2, and 3 are 0.84, 0.85, and 0.84, respectively, and the score distribution of 147 students basically conforms to the normal distribution. In addition, the standard deviations of the three items of teaching aids production, digitized experiment and experimental improvement of 147 students were 1.34, 1.35 and 1.04, respectively. The implementation of the course has achieved good results, and the implementation method of the course and the assessment method of the learning outcome have certain reference significance to the implementation and assessment of other similar courses.
