Challenges Faced By Higher Secondary Students In Learning Chemistry As A Discipline

Abstract Science is considered as an important subject in school curriculum as the Thermodynamics, Chemical Equlibrium and Colligative properties. Students face many problems in topics like Chemical Bonding, learning Chemistry. Chemistry as a discipline and ways to minimize these difficulties in common difficulties experienced by Higher Secondary students in learning The objectives of this study was to examine the nature and causes of of no use. students would not be able to reflect what they study in the classrooms, it is However it is mostly observed that these skills lack in the students. If the aspects of students education and life from school to career. learn, solve problems and make decisions. These skills are integral to every Teaching the scientific methods to students is teaching them how to think, we would still be living in a very difficult way to that of what we live today. that give us what we have today. Aworld without Science would mean that development of productive activity. Science has led us to find out things man’s future depends to a large extent on scientific advances and The main factors that are contributed for learning difficulties include– Absence of lab work, absence of teaching and learning resource, poor teaching and learning strategies, poor English and Mathematical skills and so there is a need to improve these causes. Teachers also focus on only those aspects which gain examination grades rather than favourable outcomes like developing practical skills and attitudes
