DEVELOPING SCIENTIFIC LITERACY IN STUDENTS THROUGH IN-DEPTH TEACHING OF CHEMISTRY BASED ON A VARIABLE CURRICULUM
Keywords:
chemistry education, alternative curriculum, scientific literacy, conceptual understanding, problem solving, competence, in-depth learningAbstract
This article considers the issues of developing scientific literacy in students through in-depth teaching of chemistry based on a variable curriculum. The theoretical and practical aspects of teaching chemistry in accordance with the individual abilities and level of preparation of students in the modern education system, the formation of conceptual concepts, scientific experience foundations and problem-solving competencies are analyzed. The role of the variable approach in the development of scientific literacy, the methodology for using educational materials at different levels and the expected results are described based on the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature.
