THE ROLE OF CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS' RESEARCH COMPETENCIES

Abstract

The acquisition of research skills by a chemistry teacher is an obligatory part of the training of a specialist teacher. Only when the teacher has mastered the relevant competence can it become the reason for the formation of students' research skills.

Chemistry is a theoretical and experimental science. Thus, experiment is the most important method in his research as a means of obtaining concrete ideas and solid knowledge. Of course, the strongest trace in the memory of students are chemical experiments that he consciously carried out with his own hands, and the information he received, since in this case all types of memory and mental actions are included in the memory process.The modern quality of chemical education is determined by the formation of key competencies, where one of the main ones is research competence. Research competence presupposes the ability to independently apply knowledge in new, non-standard situations.

In modern conditions, the issues of choosing a strategy and methods for the formation of research skills of students are very relevant. These include the following sets of skills: planning your own research activities; setting a task; searching, analyzing and summarizing the necessary information; hypotheses; setting goals and objectives; choosing optimal research methods and techniques; the experiment itself; designing the results of work; formulation of conclusions and conclusions, etc.

The article examines the role of laboratory classes and conducted chemical experiments in the formation of research competence of students of pedagogical universities. When developing a methodology for the formation of students' research competence, we tried to develop a unified plan for the organization of students' research work, a laboratory workshop to ensure the formation of research competence.
