Abstract:

In combination with the experience and feeling of organic chemistry teaching for undergraduates in recent years, we have proposed the necessity of performing effective teacher-student communication during the teaching courses. The interactions before-class, in-class, and after-class in the actual teaching activities were analyzed and the effects between face-to-face communication and online interaction were compared. The findings indicate that each style of teacher-student communication has its natural advantages and inherent drawbacks. Only when they are combined and comprehensively utilized, and a blended teaching pattern for interaction is established can we realize the goal of "teaching benefits teachers as well as students". During the organic chemistry teaching course, efficient teacher-student interactions can help students to develop the way of thinking for organic chemistry and strengthen their skills for independent thinking and problem solving, which will build a strong basis for them to become innovative talents of organic chemistry in the future.

Key words: Organic chemistry teaching, Teacher-student communication, Mixed interactions, Quality and effect
