Application of Systems Thinking in Innovative Teaching Pattern— Chemistry Teaching in High Schools

摘要

In chemistry teaching as part of school education, we should endeavor to link classroom knowledge with scientif ic practice, to initiate the creativeness and the attitude of observation, imagination, excitation and suspension in their scientific activities. Systems thinking, as a new pattern of thinking and a new method to foster innovation ability, has already accumulated extensive sucessful experience in application in many fields. In the teaching practice of chemistry teaching in high school, we have used the application software reflecting systems thinking (STELLA) to make a series of teaching programs for experiment. Through a creative teaching process consisting of various levels, we use the modeling method to let students perform simulation experiments on some complicated chemical systems on the operation platform provided by STELLA software, so that processes of scientific research with condition control and factor analysis can be reproduced, and the ability of students in imagination, verification, analysis and evaluation can be developed during their independent study.
