Abstract

In this research, the effectiveness of six different study methods in learning chemistry has been investigated. The statistical sample investigated in this research was 52 students of the 12th grade of experimental and mathematical fields from one of the high schools in the 8th district of Tehran. The questions of this research were prepared in the form of a multiple-choice questionnaire, which was given to the students, and then the results were evaluated by analytical-descriptive methods. In order to ensure the efficiency of these six methods in chemistry tests, the students were asked to participate first in a descriptive test and then in a standard four-choice test with average level of questions. According to the general results obtained during this research, it was found that pre-reading and post-reading of course materials, as well as continuous but short-term study during the week, has a significant effect on improving the learning of the chemistry course and also the desired performance of the students in the tests of this course.
