AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EXPERIMENT WITH ORGANIC SUBSTANCES AS A MOTIVATIONAL FACTOR TO STUDY CHEMISTRY
SUMMARY:
The article deals with the main problems of the decrease in motivation to study chemistry in secondary and higher education establishments under distance learning conditions and presents possible ways to overcome the crisis situation. The importance of forming competences in chemistry for higher education students in professions related to chemistry and professions that use chemical competences as basic ones is outlined. The need and possibility of forming a culture of using chemicals, both in professional and everyday lives, during the study of the basics of chemistry is analyzed. The capabilities of modern electronic means of teaching chemistry in the formation of experimental skills and their correlation with a real chemical experiment to achieve educational outcomes are studied. The main factors of popularity loss of chemistry studying for the future profession, life and health preservation are determined. The survey results of a wide range of the population regarding the formation of a valuable attitude to chemistry and the formation of its image in the minds of average Ukrainians are given. The main problem of the modernization of chemical training in general and higher education establishments is highlighted. The importance and main problems of organic chemistry studying in the course of professional training have been stated. The purpose of the article is to analyze the possibilities of using a chemical experiment with a vivid practical focus on the workshops in chemistry of higher education establishments. The capabilities of home chemical experiments with organic substances in the formation of students’ experimental competences of various levels are analyzed. The possibility of forming eating behavior at Chemistry classes was specified, persuading to use minimal methods of food products processing. The possibility of using the reaction of melanoidins formation (the Maillard reaction) at a laboratory workshop in chemistry or home experimentation is stated and proposed. Possible usage examples of the melanoidins formation reaction and the study of the dependence of this reaction on various factors are given. The current results of strengthening the motivation to study chemistry through the popularization of the subject with a clearly practically oriented content and the use of media information in higher education establishments are presented. The experience of using such reactions in higher education establishments abroad is analyzed.
KEYWORDS:
