The integration of science and humanities education is imperative for the advancement of science and technology in line with the current societal trends,constituting a gradual process.This integration necessitates collaborative efforts from educators and learners alike,seamlessly incorporated into the entirety of the educational journey.The foundational knowledge acquired during the high school phase under the prevailing educational system is comprehensive and pivotal,serving as a crucial underpinning for specialized studies at the university level.Effectively extracting and extending high school knowledge while fostering chemical insight in basic chemistry education pose significant challenges for educators.Consequently,the teaching paradigm of science-education integration aligns aptly and urgently needs to be applied to the transitional chemistry education at present.Drawing upon years of relevant teaching experience,this paper proposes a comprehensive teaching framework that amalgamates science and education principles with chemistry,charting a novel course for chemistry education with the aim of broadening students'horizons and guiding them deeper into the realm of chemistry.
Polymer chain structures form a crucial fundamental concept bridging polymer chemistry and polymer physics.This paper presents a systematic pedagogical approach to teaching polymer chain structures,hierarchically covering the structures of repeating units,bonding sequences,molecular weights and their distributions,and the topological architectures of chains.Such systematic introduction aims to enable students to grasp the fundamental structural elements of polymer chains and their corresponding physical significance.Consequently,it lays a solid foundation for students to better understand the intricate relationship between the chemical structures and the physical properties of polymers.
Innovative education is essential for cultivating highly skilled innovative talents.Integrating cutting-edge scientific research findings and methodologies into classroom teaching can offer students a more comprehensive,practical,and forward-looking educational experience.This experimental design encompasses the steps of constructing crystal structure models,optimizing crystal structures,calculating band structures,and catalyzing compound decomposition in computational materials science.It aims to help students grasp the fundamental principles,processes,and analytical methods of first principles calculations,connect theory with practical engineering problems,and nurture their ability to employ modern engineering tools and novel technologies to identify,analyze,and resolve intricate engineering problems.
With the development of the chemical engineering and new materials fields,the practical application skills of masters majoring in materials and chemical have grown significantly.Polymer Chemistry,a compulsory course for masters majoring in materials and chemical engineering,suffers from a lack of practical engagement,low exploratory depth,and poor student motivation.To address these issues,this reform introduces and intensifies experiment in polymer chemistry,innovates teaching methods and models,and establishes an engineering-based experimental teaching evaluation system.This reform is beneficial for improving the innovation capabilities,practical entrepreneurship and complex engineering problems-solving abilities for graduate students.
Theoretical chemistry delves into the essence of chemical reactions,and computational chemistry is widely recognized for its versatile applicability.Together,they significantly enhance interdisciplinary integration.This paper examines the use of these disciplines to foster interdisciplinary development within educational settings,particularly under the"Modernization of Chinese Education"initiative.It introduces a novel integration of cutting-edge lectures into graduate theoretical and computational chemistry course.This curriculum design seeks to dismantle cognitive barriers and break down information silos of students,fostering a comprehensive cognitive framework that connects specific points to a broader knowledge network,highlighting the integral role of theoretical and computational chemistry within the wider discipline of chemistry and other natural sciences.The paper details the top-level design and practical implementation of the"Theoretical and Computational Chemistry"course at Jilin University,showing an innovative teaching mode centered around"fundamental theory+specialized lectures+practical exercises",to achieve an educational synergy described by the formula"1+1+1>3".The study aims to provide referenceable insights and methodologies for enhancing theoretical and computational chemistry course at universities,aligning with the evolving demands of modern Chinese education.
