初中生对理化课程不同教学方法喜好程度的调查研究

Science Teaching Methods Preferred by Junior High School Students

教师使用学生喜好的教学方法有利于培养学生对科学课程和科学积极的情感，本研究调查了l334名（男生679名，女生655名）初中学生，在目前物理、化学课堂中23种教学活动使用的频数，以及他们希望其使用的频数。调查数据用描述性统计和非参数检验分析，结果显示：现代教学方法和传统教学法均受到学生的肯定；学生强烈希望开展参观工厂、博物馆等教学活动；学生个体差异影响其对教学方法的喜好；女学生更喜欢听教师讲解和看教师演示实验；成绩好的学生更喜欢小组课题研究、小组讨论等。调查结果对教师理解学生和选择教学方法有启示作用。

Teachers using the methods that students preferred would most likely help develop their positive attitudes toward school science. This study analyzed Chinese junior high school students＇actual experiences in physics and chemistry classrooms and their preferred teaching methods. A total of 1334 students （679 males and 655 females） completed the survey. Descriptive statistics （median and percentages） and nonparametric tests were used to analyze the data. It appears that the students liked both reform-based and traditional teaching methods. They also showed a great desire to visit factories, museums and other activities and their individual differences affect their preferences for teaching methods. The females prefer lectures and demonstrations by teachers. The higher achieving students prefer to do project work and group discussion. The findings have implications for teachers to choose teaching methods in consideration of both students＇ desires and reform-based instructional practices.
