Vietnam: Periodic Table for Grades 8, 9, and 10 and Memorization Tips

The full name of the periodic table is the "Periodic Table of Chemical Elements," also known as the Mendeleev Periodic Table. It is a method of listing chemical elements in tabular form based on their atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus), electron configuration, and periodic chemical properties.

What are the characteristics of grade 10 chemistry in Vietnam?

Based on Section 1 of the Upper Secondary School Chemistry Curriculum, issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, as follows:

- Chemistry is a science belonging to the natural sciences field, studying the composition, structure, properties, and transformations of substances and compounds.

- Chemistry closely combines theory and experimentation, acting as a bridge between other natural sciences such as physics, biology, medicine, and geology. Advances in chemistry are linked with developments in biology, medicine, and physics.

- Chemistry plays an important role in life, production, and contributes to socio-economic development. Achievements in chemistry are applied in materials, energy, medicines, biotechnology, agriculture, and many other fields.

- In the upper secondary school education program, Chemistry is a natural science subject at the upper secondary school level, chosen by students according to career orientation, interests, and personal abilities. Chemistry helps students acquire core chemical knowledge and apply it to life, and it has relations with many other educational fields.

- Along with Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Informatics, and Technology, Chemistry contributes to promoting STEM education, a valued educational trend in many countries.

- The Chemistry content is designed into topics that both ensure the consolidation of content circuits, develop knowledge and practical skills formed at lower levels, and help students have a deeper understanding of basic chemical knowledge as a basis for study, work, and research.

- Each school year, students with career orientation needs using a lot of chemistry knowledge select three suitable study topics based on their aspirations and the school's organizing conditions.

- These topics aim to meet deep differentiation requirements, helping students enhance their knowledge and practical skills, apply learned knowledge and skills to solve practical problems, meeting career orientation requirements.

What are the perspectives of building the grade 10 chemistry teaching program in Vietnam?

Based on Section 2 of the Upper Secondary School Chemistry Curriculum, issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT:

The Chemistry program fully complies with the regulations stated in the General Program, while emphasizing the following perspectives based on the subject's characteristics:

[1] Ensure inheritance and development

- The Chemistry program inherits and promotes the strengths of the current curriculum, learns from the program construction experiences of countries with advanced education systems and in the region; while accessing the achievements of educational science, chemical science compatible with students' cognitive level and age psychology, considering Vietnam's economic and social conditions.

- The Chemistry program inherits and develops the natural science education content at the lower secondary level by combining concentric and linear structures to expand and enhance students' knowledge and skills.

At the lower secondary level, through the natural science subject, students are introduced to some basic chemical knowledge at a qualitative and descriptive visual level.

At the upper secondary school level, Chemistry focuses on equipping students with fundamental chemical knowledge about the composition, properties, and applications of substances and compounds to explain the nature of chemical processes as needed.

[2] Ensure practicality

The Chemistry program emphasizes practicality; avoids the propensity towards calculation; focuses on equipping concepts and tools, especially helping students develop practical experimental skills, the ability to apply chemical knowledge in solving certain real-life problems, meeting life requirements.

[3] Implement vocational orientation requirements

The Chemistry program specifies vocational education objectives. Based on identifying sectors and technological processes requiring in-depth chemical knowledge, the program selects core educational content and study topics, helping students explore deeper chemical knowledge with many practical applications to prepare for career orientation.

[4] Promote student activity

The educational methods of Chemistry contribute to promoting students' activity, initiative, and creativity, aiming to form chemical competence and contribute to forming and developing key qualities and common competencies defined in the General Program.
