- 4. 4 INTRODUCTION The Chemical Education Material study (CHEM STUDY) is one of the innovative science education programme came up in the developed world mostly in United states and united kingdom. The project was awarded continuing grants by the national science foundation in order to develop an orginal curriculum in high school chemistry and the materials needed to implement it. CHEM study still provides videos and films designed to improve the teaching aids specially designed to improve the teaching of chemistry at the high school chemistry .The course stresses productive learning and thinking rather than rote learning. The student really struggles with the problem and motivated enough to do some problem solving. CHEM –study experiments allow students to make their own discoveries of the principles which unify chemistry and make it easier to understand.
- 5. 5 CONTENT CHEM –STUDY CHEM-study (Chemical Education Material study) is a national chemistry programme for American high schools (10-12).It was established in 1959 on the basis of a recommendation by an ad hoc committee of the American chemical society. The CHEM-study materials include a text, a laboratory manual, a teacher’s guide, ten films, programmed instruction in chemical arithmetic and objective multiple choice unit and evaluation tests. A series of 24 videos and related teachers guides and teaching aids specially designed to improve the teaching of high school chemistry, and a correlation chart relating individual videos to specific chapters of the most popular chemistry texts is available. In the summer of 1960 a group of eminent chemists and enthusiastic
- 6. 6 chemistry teachers met at Harvey mud college, in clavemont to write a text book and a laboratory manual. This material was tried out in 24 high schools during 1960-61.About 1300 students were involved in this tryout. The feedback of this tryout was used by second writing team in the summer of 1961 at the university of California in Berkeley. This group produced second experimental editions of the textbook and the laboratory manual, and developed a complete teachers’ guide. During 1961-62 this revised material and teachers guide were tried out in 130 high schools scattered across the united states. This time 13,000 students were involved in the tryout. Some additional experimental schools were again added to the tryout programme during 1962-1963. CHEM-study is an experimental based chemistry course. The course stresses productive learning and thinking rather than rote learning. Each succeeding step has
- 7. 7 ‘discovery’ based on laboratory work. The student really struggles with the problem and is motivated through to do some problem solving. There is an experimental on lit candle where the student is asked to write down as many observations as he can make. He then compares his list (usually 10 to 12 observations ) with the list of a professional chemist, which has 53 observations. The big difference in the number and the quality of observations comes as a surprise and eye opener to most of the CHEM-study materials are highly integrated around the development of concepts, principles , observed in the experiments to new situations.
- 8. 8 CONTENT OF CHEM STUDY 1.Emphasis on, the structure of chemical systems including electron structure, the geometrical arrangement of the atoms, their relative size and shapes, the packing together of atoms and molecules the forces between them and how these affect their chemistry, is expected to guide the student in his understanding and interpretation of the complex chemical formula. 2.The text material begin with an overview of the field of chemistry. 3.The student is introduced to major generalization including energy and chemical reactions, rates of chemical reactions equilibrium and chemical reactions , stochiometry atoms, and their structure
- 9. 9 4.After the generilizations have been developed throught experimentation ,the students are expected to continue using what they have learned in interpreting and understanding more complex ideas 5.It has 25 chapters MATERIALS DEVELOPED UNDER CHEM STUDY Text book Laboratory manual Teacher’s guide Supplementary material 16mm colour movies films Series of chemistry monographs GOALS OF CHEM -STUDY The goals of CHEM study, as set forth in the orginal proposal to the National science foundation were
- 10. 10 a.To diminish the correct separation between scientists and teachers in the understanding of science. b.To encourage teachers to undertake further study of chemistry courses that are geared to keep pace with advancing scientific frontiers and there by improve their teaching methods. c.To stimulate and prepare those high school students whose purpose it is to continue the study of chemistry in college as a profession. d.To further in those students who will not continue the study of chemistry after high school an understanding of the importance of science in current and future human activities. In seeking to attain these objectives the main activities of CHEM-study
- 11. 11 has been to produce, tryout, refine and publish course material for use by high school chemistry teacher and student. The teacher’s guide contain outline of the text content a list of new concept to be presented, a suggested time schedule, instructions for preparation of experiments and results, references of books, films, worked out text exercises and problems and suggested quiz questions .Other printed material includes ‘A programmed sequence on the slide rule’ and ‘A programmed sequence on exponential notation, to help students deficient in mathematical skills. CHEM-study and chemical bond approach are two parallel courses in chemistry .They differ in their approach. CHEM study uses inductive approach while CBA uses the deductive approach practical work proceedes in CBA while the order is reversed in CHEM study. Students are allowed to discover many fundamental ideas and relations in
- 12. 12 chemistry. CHEM-study experiments allow students to make their own discoveries of the principles which unify chemistry and make it easier to understand. It emphasizes careful observations and quantitative measurements under controlled experimental conditions. It stresses the preparation of tables for recording data. It involves challenging discussions and questions, helping in the application of principles, observed in the experiments to new situations.
- 13. 13 conclusion The CHEM-study materials are highly integrated around the development of concept, theories and ideas in chemistry. It will help to build up the knowledge of students in chemistry. In this programme the student usually does the experiment before he reads the material from the text book or before the material is discussed in the class. The student discovers many fundamental ideas and relations himself and discusses them with his classmates, instead or reading them from the text book or hearing them by the teacher.
