Learning Strategies

Chemistry is a subject consisting of abstract principles and numerous facts. A wide variety of learning strategies are required for effective learning in Chemistry. Note-taking and group discussion can help students to understand the principles and facts in Chemistry.

Students can share experience and learn collaboratively during project work or practical chemistry. Moreover, they can understand methods used in scientific investigations.

Reading and information searching via Internet encourage students to learn from anywhere and appreciate applications of chemistry in everyday life.

Through students' learning experiences, nine types of generic skills (collaboration skills, communication skills, creativity, critical thinking skills, information technology skills, numeric skills, problem solving skills, self-management skills and study skills) are expected to be developed.
