Abstract: Addressing the difficulties encountered by learners during the recent transitional period of organic compound nomenclature revisions, this study proposes a three-tiered learning methodology. The approach involves: (1) establishing fundamental knowledge of naming rules, (2) employing modern chemical tools for critical analysis, and (3) actively utilizing nomenclature principles to investigate organic compounds. This systematic method is designed to enhance students' research competencies and problem-solving skills in practical applications.
