Methods of using interdisciplinary connections in chemistry lessons

Abstract

The article considers an effective methodology for implementing
interdisciplinary communication in teaching chemistry in general education institutions
according to the updated educational program. Interdisciplinary integration is of great
importance in the formation of a functionally competent personality in the educational process.
Our goal is to use in our practice the most effective methods that have contributed to the
achievement of a positive result. Interactive methods used to establish interdisciplinary
communication are based on the creative thinking, functional literacy, and activity of each
student involved in the educational process. It is obvious that the educational process will be
interesting for students if they use the methods effectively, transforming them in the course of
the lesson. Students receive new information based on scientific research and experience. In the
educational process, participants work in a large or small group. Tasks are assigned equally to
members of groups, and not to individual students. Each member of small groups strives to
contribute when completing tasks. Here, students conduct pair and group work in cooperation
with the correct direction of the teacher, exchange views, and strive to make a common decision.
As a result of the research, the principles of development of establishing interdisciplinary
communication were determined. Educational and methodological materials for integrating
chemistry with physics and biology have been developed and presented for use.
