THE STORYTELLING: AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN THE TEACHING OF HIGH-LEVEL CHEMISTRY

Storytelling is a teaching method that presents learning material through personally significant stories and associates with the personal experience of the teacher and student. This method trains the ability to work with information, teaches to analyze situations and evaluate alternatives, correlates the studied theoretical material with practice, develops the skill of solving practical problems. Types of pedagogical storytelling and building of the story were reviewed. Using storytelling in higher chemical education is discussed. It is shown that literature and science literature, publications in the media, art, history of chemistry, current stage of the scientific research, and real production experience can be used as information sources for creating educational stories in chemical education. Examples of the use of storytelling in the preparation of students at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Belarusian State University are given.
