Abstract

The paper examines the importance of creating an elective course "Green Chemistry" for colleges of technical and vocational education. The purpose of the study is to prove the importance of elective courses and justify the introduction of the "Green Chemistry" course in these colleges. A review of the fundamental and new works of foreign and domestic authors was carried out, and the practical significance of the proposed course was also assessed. The results and analysis of the study confirm the importance of creating elective courses, including "Green Chemistry". They promote the active participation of students, the development of their skills and the improvement of academic performance. In addition, such courses form environmental consciousness and develop knowledge and skills in the field of environmentally friendly chemistry. The results of the study confirm the need to introduce the elective course "Green Chemistry" in colleges of technical and vocational education. The course contributes to the formation of environmental awareness of students and the development of their professional skills in environmentally friendly chemistry. The results obtained can be used by college administrations and teachers in the development and implementation of elective courses in the educational process. They can also serve as a basis for the development of new elective courses aimed at developing students' professional competencies in various fields of knowledge.
