2 What will we learn in Physical Chemistry (2)?
Course rational
Can we synthesize ammonia directly from water and dinitrogen
under ambient temperature and pressure just like nitrogen-
fixing bacteria does ?
2N2 + 6H2O = 4NH3 + 3O2
Electrochemistry Electrochemistry

Possibility vs. reality
Spontaneous process
Damo crossed Changjiang river on a reed.
People in Zunyi city cross Xiangjiang river on a piece of bamboo.

3. How to improve your learning?
“…and, as you go out into the world, I predict that you will, gradually and imperceptibly, forget all you ever learned at this university”…
What have we learnt and what will we forgotten, knowledge, ability or makings?
Major Categories in the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

Level Student goals
Knowledge Recall facts, concepts, or principles. Know dates, events, major ideas.
ComprehensionTranslate or interpret information. Describe meanings and relationships in own words.
Application Apply a skill or concept to a new situation. Solve new problems. Illustrate and use knowledge.
Analysis Break information down into parts. Identify parts, their inter relationships, and their organizational principles
Synthesis Compose the parts into a new whole. Organize information in a new way. Get broad ideas from specific ideas
Evaluation Judge the value and/or accuracy of purposes, ideas, and methods based on a standard. Find support for arguments.
Discussion and group work are very important for you to improve your learning.
4. Our teaching strategies
第一个层次:教知识 ---- 教师
第二个层次:教方法 ---- 名师
第三个层次:教境界 ---- 大师
( 1 )授人以鱼
( 2 )授人以渔
( 3 )授人境界
使学生先悟教师之道 再悟自己之道(做人、学问)
( 1 ) Teaching philosophy
韩愈《师说》:师者,所为传道、授业、解惑也。
传道?《老子》开篇的第一句:“道可道,非常道”。
“道”的达成需要个人领悟,不是教出来的。
背书、找答案永远成不了“道”。
授业?不是教书,而是教如何“成业” 。
解惑?不是扼杀问题和质疑。而是引导学生质疑教材、
质疑权威,启发思考。
让学生带着自己的观点看书,立自己的一家之言,而非简单的接受和盲从。
1 )激发学生乐道悟道比传道更重要
2 )激发学生学会学习比授业更重要
3 )激发学生独立思考比解惑更重要
张德江 , “现代教学观下的教师职责”,中国大学教学 , 2010, 3: 4-6
( 1 ) Teaching philosophy
The results of puzzling
( 2 ) Methodology introduction
高盘良,科学方法教育与创新能力培养,中国大学教学, 2010 ( 3 ): 7-8
任何基础理论课程的教学内容均由普遍性原理和科学方法组成。在准确讲解基本原理的同时,必须提炼出主要方法加以讲解。
( 3 ) What should we do outside class?预习:预习问题、基本概念与基本原理
复习:读 2-3本书。读外文教材。 1-2小时。
作业:习题、课外阅读、讨论、准备报告
小组作业:小组问题、小组报告
课程论文:发现问题、查阅资料、进行试验、撰写论文。
培养学生利用图书资源进行综合学习的能力、提出问题和解决问题的能力、团队合作的能力。
