Summary/Abstract: The major aim (goal) of this didactic research is the role of continuous evaluation on the two experimental classes focused on learning “The Saturated Hydrocarbon Alkanes”. The didactic investigation was preceded by an initial test having the role to diagnose the level of the students and the differences that persist between the two classes. As a result of the initial test, each class was divided into two groups, teaching being done differentially. The investigation (research) took into the consideration two progress tests, one for each group and a final test. The results of the experiment, the analysis and the interpretation of the four evaluation tests were interpreted drawing the histogram of the Gauss Curve showing the students ’ progress, which has been the hypothesis of this didactic research. The heuristic strategies used in the experiment are made to assure that the learning is focused on the student ( the student is in the centre ). Thus the student will be able to become professional, to improve his knowledges.
