如果教师在化学课堂上问学生最喜欢做什么,我相信绝大多数学生会回答:“做实验。”不错,化学实验确实对学生有着极大的吸引力。然而,实验的主要目的并不在于激发学生的学习兴趣。实验的主要功能是培养学生的学科意识、实验经验、科学精神、良好的手脑并用习惯,以及化学基本能力。下面笔者结合自己的教学实践,从培养观察和实验操作能力、培养探究能力及思维创新能力等几个方面谈谈自己的认识和体会。一、培养学生观察能力和实验操作能力 If the teacher asks students what they like best in a chemistry class, I believe the vast majority of students will answer, “Experimenting.” Sure, chemistry experiments are really appealing to students. However, the main purpose of the experiment is not to stimulate students’ interest in learning. The main function of the experiment is to cultivate the students’ discipline awareness, experimental experience, scientific spirit, good hand-brain habits, and basic chemistry ability. The following author combined his own teaching practice, from the observation and experimental training ability, training and ability to explore innovative thinking ability to talk about his own understanding and experience. First, develop students’ ability to observe and experiment
