Abstract
With the coming of information era, information process depend on internet and multi-media technology in education becomes the new approach of present teaching model reform. Web-based cooperative learning is becoming a popular learning approach with the rapid development of web technology. The paper aims to how to carry out the teaching strategy of web-based cooperative learning and applied in the foundation chemistry teaching.It was shown that with the support of modern web-based teaching environment, students' cooperative learning capacity and overall competence can be better improved and the problems of interaction in large foundation chemistry classes can be solved. Web-based cooperative learning can improve learning performance of students, what's more Web-based cooperative learning provides students with cooperative skills, communication skills, creativity, critical thinking skills and skills in information technology application.
Highlights
The idea of cooperative learning originated in the 1970s and achieved a substantial progress in the 1980s
As a foundation course for students in agricultural university, still has many shortages in teaching method at present. Aiming at this kind of situation, this paper brings forward the practice that taking the theory of web-based cooperative learning in the foundation chemistry courses, such as Analytical Chemistry and Chemistry Experiment
In order to evaluate the effects of web-based cooperative learning model in college chemistry learning and teaching, the author collected the final scores of the four tests of one experimental class and one non-experimental class, and analyzed with SPSS 18, as shown in table 1.Table 1 showed that students in experimental group got higher mean scores than those in traditional learning groups(Comparison Group) in all the four exams, which means web-based cooperative learning group was more effective than traditional group
Summary
The idea of cooperative learning originated in the 1970s and achieved a substantial progress in the 1980s. Cooperative learning refers to the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to achieve a shared goal These groups used a variety of learning activities to understand the meaning of a subject [1]. Studies showed that cooperative learning was effective in improving students’ study performance, cultivating their collaboration, social skill, practical ability and creativity [2] It had drawn much attention by researchers and had been used widely in colleges and universities in many countries. As a foundation course for students in agricultural university, still has many shortages in teaching method at present Aiming at this kind of situation, this paper brings forward the practice that taking the theory of web-based cooperative learning in the foundation chemistry courses, such as Analytical Chemistry and Chemistry Experiment
