Abstract
Background and Objectives: Chemistry is one of the most practical subjects among the basic sciences. For this reason, it is very important in the field of education. However, chemistry includes many abstract topics that make learning it difficult for some learners. Therefore, the teacher plays a key role in teaching the learner more effectively. Many teachers use the traditional method of teaching, i.e. direct teaching, in which the learner is only a listener and does not do anything. However, the leading countries in the field of education, use various facilities to explain strategies for teaching chemistry to make learning more effective for learners. Methods: In this research, an attempt has been made to point out some of the strategies used in the leading countries in the field of education by using available resources in the field of education, by means of descriptive, theoretical, and qualitative research methods. Findings: The strategy based on creativity is one of these strategies in which, by designing a teaching method, the teacher takes the education out of passive mode. Technology-based strategy is another method that uses technologies such as mobile phones, computers, etc., for better education. Conclusion: Considering that many learners in our country, have problems with learning chemistry, and it is difficult for them to learn this subject, due to the ease and effectiveness of the mentioned strategies, teachers can use the passive and direct mode since involving learners in the teaching process makes the abstract concepts of chemistry easier for them and increases their rate of learning.
