This study investigates university students’ understanding of the mole concept and its implications for chemistry education, highlighting the critical role of mathematical education. A questionnaire was administered to 303 students from universities in Panama, Mexico, Cuba, Chile, and Spain. The results reveal that only 29.7% of participants recognize the mole as a fundamental unit, while 20.8% confuse the amount of substance with a non-existent “Chemical System.” Only 18.5% correctly identified the substance quantity symbol as “n” and 32.7% were aware that Wilhelm Ostwald introduced the term mole, indicating deficiencies in historical knowledge. The significance of these findings highlights major misconceptions and gaps in both conceptual understanding and historical knowledge, underscoring the urgent need for revised teaching strategies. Addressing these issues is crucial for bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thereby enhancing instructional methods and optimizing chemistry education to improve students’ comprehension of fundamental concepts.
Primary school students are in a period of rapid development of thinking. Primary school mathematics is particularly important for the cultivation of students' abstract thinking ability. The section of number and algebra is the most basic and important content in mathematics. This paper takes number and algebra as an example to analyze the abstract thinking ability of primary school mathematics and its training strategies, so as to provide some practical guidance for teaching.
The curriculum reform in 2022 puts forward new requirements for the professional literacy cultivation of primary science teachers, and the cultivation of primary science classroom teaching skills is an important aspect of the professional literacy cultivation of science education teachers, mainly including subject knowledge and teaching theory, teaching design and preparation, teaching methods and strategies. On the basis of following the principle of combining theory and practice, diversified teaching and student subjectivity, the training strategies of group cooperative learning, observing the teaching process of excellent teachers, and strengthening the effect of micro-grid teaching are proposed, and in addition to the expected evaluation, it provides a certain theoretical basis for the cultivation of normal students in science education.
In the process of teaching and learning at any stage, the important role of interest guidance cannot be ignored. Especially in college mathematics teaching, mathematical knowledge is very complex and abstract, and most students are unable to effectively understand and master it during the learning process. So it is even more important to fully stimulate students' interest in learning. This article analyzes the significance and current situation of stimulating students' learning interest in university mathematics teaching, and conducts effective strategy analysis. In order to effectively awaken students' desire for knowledge, guide students to change from passive learning to active learning, so that students can continue to grow and progress in this process.
The study investigates the role of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and engagement in the context of English language learning among Chinese students, emphasizing the significance of positive emotions in enhancing academic success. Utilizing a sample of 249 students majoring in international trade, the research employs the foreign language enjoyment scale to count their enjoyment level and foreign language engagement scale to assess various dimensions of student engagement, including cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social engagement. By conducting regression analysis, the findings reveal that FLE positively influencing learners' learning outcome while engagement doesn't pose significant impact on their learning outcome. The study highlights the importance of fostering positive emotions in educational settings to improve language learning outcomes and suggests that understanding the interplay between FLE and other affective factors can lead to more effective teaching strategies in foreign language education.
In modern society, English, as an important language, is an indispensable tool for people to communicate and exchange. However, learning English is not limited to knowledge points, grammar and other aspects. With the development and progress of the times and the rapid improvement of the level of science and technology, the problem of how to cultivate students' interests has become increasingly prominent. Interest is the best teacher to learn, and it is also the most effective, direct and lasting way for students to learn English well and improve their level and ability. Cultivating good teaching habits can help us master knowledge and skills better. Starting from the importance of students' interest in learning, this paper discusses how to stimulate students' interest in learning and find the correct teaching methods in order to help students have a strong interest in English learning in class and help them acquire knowledge actively.
