The study of the application of experimental tasks based on improving the functional literacy of students in elective chemistry classes

Abstract

This article is devoted to studying of the application of experimental tasks to improve the functional literacy of students in elective chemistry classes. Functional literacy is an important factor in developing students' ability to apply their knowledge in everyday life, critical thinking skills, and independent decision-making. The article proposed methodological approaches to improving functional literacy and discussed the role of practical classes in chemistry. The study provided specific examples of tasks that contribute to developing students' subject and general competencies. In addition, the article analyzes the effectiveness of using interactive methods for functional literacy formation, linking chemical experiments with life situations. The results of the study showed that experimental tasks contribute to improving the ability of students to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. The author offers specific methodological recommendations to increase students' interest in classes, develop creative abilities, and form a positive attitude toward science. This article is intended for chemistry teachers, educational researchers, and professionals interested in improving students' functional literacy.
