Abstract: Various education improvements were tried to
finish education effect of student training in chemical experiment.
We developed teaching materials which students could learn on
a computer to practice beforehand learning for the experiment.
A student studied the subject that received practical training
in beforehand learning and experiment independently. He/she practiced
oral announcement on the theme in the seminar presentation.
The student experiment that we are in charge of is in the field
of physical chemistry. Forty persons (class) are divided into
an experiment group by twos. One group chooses 4 themes among
each experimental subject and receives practical training. About
the subject that isn't learned by lecture, a student received
practical training in learning beforehand of CAL (computer-aided
learning). The student's independent learning manner was observed
via experiment practices, which he/she chose from 20 themes of
physical chemistry. Compared with a regular class, autonomy and
aggressiveness for chemical experimental operation were observed.
As a result of education practice for 3 years, the student's autonomy
by imposing a presentation has been improving. The students individually
repeated the experiment, until the experiment description could
be understood. By marking evaluation with an oral presentation,
his/her degree of understanding by beforehand received almost
an "A" rating.
