Abstract:
The article discusses the trends in the development of the education system with a focus on specialized education in chemistry. The goal of specialized education is to deepen theoretical knowledge, improve practical skills, and foster independent and continuous self-education in students. The school chemistry course prioritizes the unity of theory and practice, a research approach to teaching, and differentiation. Research competencies are described as new personality formations that develop gradually in the process of educational and research activities. Specialized chemistry education is the optimal form for the formation and development of students’ research competencies. The key concept of the study is research competencies of high school students in specialized chemistry teaching, which are defined as a systemic professionally oriented property of the student’s personality. A system of research competencies of high school students in specialized chemistry education is designed,
consisting of three groups: general scientific research competencies, scientific research competencies, and special chemical research competencies. The article also discusses the stages of educational and research activities, lesson and extracurricular forms of organizing educational and research activities, and the importance of forming research competencies in students.
