Възможности на учебния експеримент за формиране на природонаучна грамотност на студентите – бъдещи учители по химия
The chemical experiment as a scientific method is in the focus of students' attention when studying different chemical disciplines in higher education. As a method of scientific and educational knowledge it is also a subject of special studying at the chemistry didactics lecture course and at the practice classes in Methods and Techniques of School Chemical Experiment. In the work is proposed а methodology for application of the school experiment with a view to forming scientific literacy of students – future chemistry teachers. The effectiveness of the developed methodology is proved through pedagogical experiment. It includes students trained in the Bachelor's programs “Biology and Chemistry”, “Chemistry and English” at University of Plovdiv. The experimental data show that the developed didactic models for the experimental study of substances and chemical processes have a positive effect on students’ cognitive results with a view to forming and developing scientific literacy.
