THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS 'CREATIVITY IN TEACHING CHEMISTRY AT THE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The article discusses in detail the ways of forming students' creativity in teaching chemistry at the secondary school. Research opinions and works of scientists have been analysed and defined in this field. The prerequisites for the creativity development and the use of interactive methods in chemistry are clarified. Information on the importance of the conceptual approaches for secondary education have been taken into account and also, students' creativity development, didactic activity principles in the process of teaching and theoretical knowledge. The article explains methodologically that when performing various creative tasks, students learn concepts related to the chemistry, information about its properties and characteristics, combining methods, new decision-making by studying the properties of substances. The article also highlights the need to educate students about research methods in teaching chemistry. They say that knowledge, skills and abilities are important for chemistry. This article also explains the need for a chemistry teacher to master logic and didactics. Keywords: creative development, creativity, creative thinking, creative level, chemical formula, experimentation, creative teaching, logical thinking.
