DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR CONDUCTING OF ELECTIVE COURSES IN TEACHING CHEMISTRY

Abstract

Today, many researchers, methodologists and practitioners are involved in the development of various elective courses to prepare students, especially for students in grades 8-11 in preparation for admission to higher education. The article is devoted to the development of methods for elective courses in chemistry. In the article is discussed the main tasks and content of elective chemistry courses, the requirements for the organization of courses and the functions of the courses. Particular attention is paid to the methodology of teaching elective courses as ways to achieve goals based on the interrelated activities of the teacher and student and an individual approach, based on the needs of students in a certain type of knowledge and skills. The article draws attention to the fact that the organization of such elective courses is associated with the need to replenish the number of hours allocated for the study of the subject of chemistry. The content and structure of chemistry education in a modern school is based on the methodology of teaching chemistry, which actively includes general pedagogical developments related to the design of the content of education, its structure and methodological part. In the teaching of chemistry in elective courses are used developmental teaching, the theory of the gradual formation of mental activity and various teaching technologies.
