Abstract
purpose of this study was to analyze high school chemistry teachers perception of the Chemistry I & Chemistry II in the 7th national curriculum and their demands on the revision of curriculum. A nationwide survey was administered to obtain the responses from 108 high school chemistry teachers. More than half of the participants thought the current curriculum of Chemistry I and Chemistry II needed revising. As the results, a major drawback of Chemistry I was a difficulty in explaining phenomena due to absence of basic concepts, and that of Chemistry II was an excess of the contents for high school science courses. Unfortunately, it was found out that inquiry activities existed only in name, especially in case of Chemistry II. Regarding the manner of content organization of Chemistry I in new curriculum, demand on a concept-based approach outnumbered theme-based approach. For revising Chemistry, the majority of participants demanded basic chemistry concepts to be introduced, without supplementation of quantitative approaches and deepening level of concepts. An urgent request for Chemistry II was reducing content by shifting relevant concepts to Chemistry I. Implications for high school chemistry education including revising curriculum were discussed.
