Abstract

  This article provides information about the wide application of project technology in the practice of teaching chemistry. It is shown that the basis of the project method is the idea of the orientation of educational and cognitive activity of students on the result that is obtained when solving a significant practical or theoretical problem. Special attention is paid to project lessons, where the student builds his own knowledge, forms values, discovers new things in himself and in the world around him. Lessons-projects involve students in interesting, creative intellectual activities, teach them to work in a team. They assume an active position of students, contribute to the development of speech, verbal intelligence, necessary for the successful socialization of each graduate. The article considers the method of projects as a pedagogical technology, which includes a set of research, search, problem methods, creative in nature. Also, by completing projects, students master the algorithm of design and research activities, learn to independently search and analyze information, integrate and apply previously acquired knowledge. As a result, their creative and intellectual abilities, independence, responsibility develop, and the ability to plan and make decisions is formed. In addition, the project method is closely related to the use of the latest computer technologies.
