Seeing the role played by modern teaching strategies in achieving the goals of organic chemistry learning and the difficulties faced by students in understanding them, the researchers conducted this study aimed at finding ways to improve the problem by identifying organic chemistry concepts and identifying the effects of format strategies and events which contradicts the concept of organic chemistry among the eleven year students. This study uses an experimental approach. Content analysis cards are designed to identify the concept of organic chemistry in the student's book for level 11, the first batch of 2015. In addition, the achievement test of the organic chemistry concept containing 20 items is also used. The population of the study consists of 1604 level 11 students in the Sharqiah south federal territory. Of these, 90 students were randomly selected from three different states, then divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group uses a format strategy, the second experimental group uses the discrepant events strategy and the control group using conventional methods. The findings show the effectiveness of the format strategy and discrepant events because there is a significant difference between the mean score of the students of the three experimental groups in pre-test and the understanding of the concept of organic chemistry. This study suggests that students be given reinforcement training on format strategies and discrepant events and learn how to apply them in understanding the concept of organic chemistry. Students also need to be provided with an organic chemistry dictionary that can help him identify the meaning of each of the concepts learned. (Published abstract)
