Brief introduction to life

Vocational courses

1947 Hua was admitted to the Chemistry Department of Hujiang University.

1949 to yenching university.

195 1 After graduation, he stayed in school to engage in research and served as a teaching assistant, studying under Professor Cai.

1952, adjusted in the department, transferred to Peking University, and completed the postgraduate thesis under the guidance of Professor Tang Youqi.

1954 stayed in school to teach after graduation, and successively served as a teacher of physical chemistry experiment, crystallization chemistry practice and structural chemistry experiment.

65438-0956 began to do experiments, counseling and answering questions on general chemistry and inorganic chemistry with Professor Fu Ying.

I have been a lecturer since 1958, and my podium career has been nearly 30 years. She had a good chance to be taught by many famous teachers, inherited and carried forward the rigorous scientific attitude and inspirational teaching style of her predecessors, and carried it forward in teaching practice, forming her own characteristics.

Students who have listened to Chinese class still remember her style on the podium. Not only did she ask attractive questions, but she also gave clear ideas to answer them, leaving room for learning and then knowing enough. Reviewing and reading reference books after class, the students have figured out the ins and outs through their own thinking. They not only understand and master these basic knowledge, but also learn the method of scientific thinking, so they have a feeling of endless aftertaste about the classroom scene. This teaching method enables freshmen to adapt to university study quickly and lay a good foundation for subsequent courses.

Teaching contribution

During his tenure as director of the General Chemistry Teaching and Research Section, Hua attached great importance to experimental teaching. In the early 1960s, he presided over the compilation and publication of Inorganic Chemistry Experiment, which is an introductory textbook with systematic and clear requirements for the basic operation of chemical experiments. At the same time, she also compiled for teachers' organizations, which is a summary of teachers' collective experience. Experimental teachers are highly mobile, and this kind of "internal reference" plays a certain role in stabilizing and improving teaching quality. Many senior teachers who came to Peking University also learned many principles and methods of strengthening experimental teaching from this "internal reference". During Fu Yingxian's serious illness, entrusted by the leaders of Peking University and departments, Hua cooperated with Yang and Yan Xuanshen to compile and publish the Lecture Notes on General Chemistry in University written by Mr. Fu at 1979. This book is the crystallization of teacher Fu's decades of teaching experience and has a unique style. It has been widely praised by peers inside and outside the school, and won the 1987 First National Textbook Excellence Award for Colleges and Universities.

Chemical development

The "Cultural Revolution" destroyed education and widened the gap with the international community. At the end of 1970s, China and China jointly translated and published the most popular Chinese version of Masterton's Principles of Chemistry at that time, which was very helpful for teachers to understand the international trends and promote the teaching of general chemistry. Hua and Yang cooperated and summed up many years of teaching experience. Principles of General Chemistry was first published in 1989 and second published in 1993. This book has the characteristics of simple explanation, connecting the past with the future, and paying attention to experiments and historical facts. They also tried to infiltrate some new chemical achievements related to materials, environment and life sciences into texts, examples and exercises, so as to inspire students to understand the position of chemistry in the development of natural science and its role in improving people's living standards and stimulate their interest in learning. This book has been widely welcomed by teachers and students inside and outside the school, and won the first prize of excellent teaching materials in institutions of higher learning of the State Education Commission 1996. She firmly believes that being a teacher should not only learn to inherit, but also learn to innovate. Nowadays, many students she has taught have become the backbone of teaching, scientific research, production or administration. Every time alumni get together, they will miss their teachers, and tell the history of continuous innovation and progress in human inheritance while exchanging the joys and sorrows of work and life. She and her students often encourage each other by saying that "teaching is good for each other, and shine on you is better than blue".

Pay attention to education

Expound the importance

Although Hua teaches in a university, he has devoted great enthusiasm to basic education in primary and secondary schools.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of 1997' s graduation from middle school, she said with deep feelings: "Basic education really has an extremely important influence on people's life. If you contribute to society, you must first thank the primary school teachers and middle school teachers you have taught. " She studied in Shanghai Industrial Bureau Primary School, Yu Ying Middle School and Nanyang Model Middle School. In her memory, the science class in primary school was so lively and interesting, and many wonderful phenomena in nature aroused her infinite curiosity.

When it comes to middle school curriculum, she thinks that Chinese and foreign languages are the foundation of the foundation. Whether preparing lessons and writing speeches, doing research and writing papers, attending academic conferences or conducting international exchanges, everything is inseparable from the application of Chinese and foreign languages. Mathematics and physics teaching in Nanyang Model Middle School is very famous in Shanghai. Teachers' coaxing and students' learning from each other have become the driving force for her diligent study. She keeps the school motto of "diligence and faithfulness" in mind. All this laid the foundation for her dedication to science and education.

Efforts made.

It is because of these personal feelings that although she is in college, she can care about middle school teaching for a long time. As early as the early 1960s, she attended Sunday lectures for middle school students, performed interesting chemistry experiments for middle school students, and aroused young people's interest in science. Since 1980s, she has been paying attention to the reform of middle school chemistry textbooks, and has been a member of the examination committee of the primary and secondary school textbooks examination committee of the State Education Commission for many years, constantly offering pertinent and valuable opinions. She also actively participated in the research on the chemistry proposition of the college entrance examination, which is the connection point between universities and middle schools. For universities, how to select young people with academic potential is very important, and the one-time written examination of millions of candidates every year has a great guiding role in middle school teaching. Therefore, how to strengthen the ability inspection has become the central topic of the college entrance examination. The chemistry proposition research group she presided over practiced while learning, and steadily reformed, guiding middle school chemistry teaching to get rid of the ocean of guessing and betting questions, and to get rid of the ocean of rote memorization, and gradually moved toward the direction of strengthening the combination of knowledge and ability.

Academic exchange

Mid-1980s

Hua was elected as the director and executive director of the Chinese Chemical Society, and concurrently served as the deputy director and director of the Education Committee. She used to be the editorial board of Chemistry Education and was in charge of the Education Committee. She was the editor-in-chief of College Chemistry. She is well aware of the importance of running these two publications to promote teaching reform and is willing to work hard for this. These two periodicals are a garden for middle school and university chemistry teachers to exchange professional experience. Some teachers list it as their must-read publication, while others regard it as a mentor. "University Chemistry" won the second prize of excellent sci-tech periodicals of the State Education Commission 1996. In addition, she also organized many national chemistry teaching seminars in colleges and universities, from the updating of teaching contents and the improvement of teaching methods to the application of various media, with a wide range of representatives, including key colleges, local colleges and border areas, old professors and young people, who gathered together to communicate and learn from each other effectively.

1983 ~ 1995

Hua represented chinese chemical society in the Chemical Education Committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. Participated in international chemical education conferences for many times, wrote articles or delivered speeches to introduce the present situation and development of chemical education in China, and brought back international dynamic information to convey to domestic counterparts. Together with Chen Zufu and Wu Yongxing, she has written more than 65,438+00 articles for foreign periodicals in China, which has effectively promoted the international exchange of chemistry education in China.

Hua is an enthusiastic and open-minded person. She is good at uniting comrades and working together. Under her leadership, she and her colleagues have contributed to chemistry education in China.
