Abstract

The article considers the peculiarities of chemical education in the training of future specialists in the chemical industry in the context of distance learning. It substantiates the need to update the content and quality of chemistry education based on the introduction of modern information technologies. A thorough review of the created distance learning course “Organic Chemistry” and the algorithm for forming competencies in it according to Bloom's taxonomy, i.e., according to six main categories: knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, was provided. The relevance of a targeted competency-based approach to teaching chemistry to students majoring in 161 “Chemical Technology and Engineering” is demonstrated, as well as the importance of emphasizing the practical orientation of education in distance learning courses and combining informational and problem-based methods of teaching the material. A series of test assignments and control tasks of varying complexity have been elaborated with the aim of developing analytical and evaluative skills. The contribution of independent student work as a separate element of the distance learning course to the development of higher-order cognitive skills that enable students to work at a creative level is demonstrated. An assessment and analysis of students' assimilation of theoretical material and their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to solve problems of varying degrees of complexity was carried out. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the distance learning course “Organic Chemistry” in terms of individual elements, a survey of students was conducted. The diagram below shows the results of the student survey on the use of various elements of the course during independent work. The ability of students to establish a correspondence between theoretical knowledge and the ability to apply it in practice was assessed. Organizational and pedagogical conditions were identified that allow for the effective formation of professional competencies in the study of organic chemistry. The provision of effective chemistry education based on new information and educational technologies and a modern strategy for effective training of qualified personnel has been realized
