ABSTRACT
The spatial structure of organic compounds (3D molecular structure) acts as an important tool in teaching organic chemistry. This study designed 16 3D molecular structures of hydrocarbons and chemical reaction simulations, using these simulations to design teaching plans for alkenes; guide teachers on how to use the teaching plans; and develop tests to assess students’ chemistry competency. The research aimed to evaluate the impact of using 3D molecular structure simulations on students’ development of chemistry competency. The methodology was conducted on 630 Vietnamese students divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The results of this study have demonstrated the benefits of 3D molecular structure simulation, including enhancement of students’ chemistry competency, promotion of transfer and application of spatial chemistry content to higher-order concepts, and expansion of the planning of the nature and mechanism of chemical reactions. As a result, chemistry teachers can use 3D molecular structure simulation to teach topics such as atomic radius, bond length, and bond angle. This research makes an important contribution to the application of technology in teaching and developing chemistry competence for Vietnamese high school students.
