Abstract:

Aiming to practice the concept of failure tolerance in chemistry laboratory teaching, we encourage teachers to re-examine the values of experimental failures as opportunities for students' experimental ability training and curriculumstudy.At the same time, we have taken steps to create a friendly failure-tolerant environment and explore teaching and research resources from those experimental failures, including collecting and providing consultation on experimental faults, facilitating rerunning experiments, renewing and improving experimental projects, looking for scientific research opportunities in experimental failures, and establishing failure-friendly assessment methods.By exploring resources in experimental failures, teaching quality, research abilities, and social service levels of our chemistry experiment center have been promoted and improved.

Key words: Laboratory teaching, Experimental failure, Failure-tolerant, Chemistry experiment center
