Special features of teaching chemical disciplines in the conditions of distance learning at higher educational institutions

Abstract

The article reveals the peculiarities of teaching the disciplines of chemical direction, in particular “Organic Chemistry” and “Biochemistry”, in distance learning in higher educational institutions from the point of view of practice. It was determined that computers with special software, communication and remote sources of information are the main means of learning in distance learning of chemical disciplines. Forms of teaching chemical disciplines in conditions of distance learning in higher educational institutions are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of distance learning in the course of studying the disciplines of chemical direction in higher educational institutions are highlighted. The peculiarities of using virtual laboratories in the conditions of distance learning in higher educational institutions are considered. The programs with which the distance learning process takes place are identified, in particular, special attention is paid to the Moodle program, which is used by most higher educational institutions for teaching chemistry disciplines in distance learning conditions.
According to the results of research conducted during remote work with students, it was determined that the formation of high-quality chemical knowledge, skills and abilities that will become the basis of the future professional competence of students of higher education is possible in the conditions of distance learning, where students study theory with the help of modern ICT, and laboratory work performed with the help of virtual chemical laboratories. Distance education can be considered an alternative to classical education, as students have the opportunity to qualitatively learn the material of the educational components of the curriculum, in particular, “Organic Chemistry” and “Biochemistry”.
