Abstract：

Amidst deepening educational reforms that prioritize both equity and quality, tailoring instruction to individual needs and meeting students' personalized learning demands have become paramount objectives in education. As a foundational natural science subject, junior high chemistry teaching must not only impart knowledge but also cultivate scientific thinking and practical skills. Differentiated instruction—a student-centered approach that addresses individual differences and provides diverse learning supports—offers novel perspectives for chemistry education. It aims to develop targeted teaching strategies based on students' distinct characteristics, enabling each learner to achieve growth and progress in chemistry studies. This paper first outlines differentiated instruction, then explores its core theoretical foundations, and finally focuses on analyzing specific implementation pathways for differentiated instruction in junior high chemistry classrooms, with the goal of providing valuable references for chemistry teaching at this level.
