化学是一门以实验为基础的自然学科,其源于人类长期的生活实践、生产实践与科学实验,实践的最直接、最简单的手段就是实验室中的实验,实验是创新和探究的原动力,化学实验教学是全面实施化学教育的一种最有效的形式,是培养和锻炼学生思维能力和创新能力的重要方法和手段。目前我国教学中普遍存在着注重知识传授,忽视技能、方法训练的现象,其实,许多化学知识都是通过观察实验、认真思索总结出来的,加强实验技能应该成为化学教学中重点强调的一个方面。本文通过对实验在化学教学中的应用做相关的阐述,探讨了化学实验教学对培养学生的观察能力和创新能力的重要作用。 Chemistry is an experiment-based natural discipline, which is derived from the long-term life practice of mankind, production practice and scientific experiment, the most direct and simplest means of practice is the experiment in the laboratory, and the experiment is the driving force of innovation and inquiry Chemistry experiment teaching is one of the most effective forms of implementing chemical education in an all-round way and is an important method and means of cultivating and training students’ thinking ability and innovation ability. At present, there are common phenomena in our country teaching which focus on knowledge imparting, neglecting skills and methods training. In fact, many chemical knowledge are summed up through observation experiments and serious thinking. Strengthening experimental skills should be one aspect of emphasis in chemistry teaching. This article explains the application of experiment in chemistry teaching and discusses the important role of chemistry experiment teaching in training students’ ability of observation and innovation.
