Abstract

In the process of organizing chemistry education, it is important to understand that in the context of the introduction of the cognitive paradigm of education under the conditions of modern generating of chemical knowledge, the system of additional education as a universal form of development leads each student to a new, better state. Within the framework of a new approach to the organization of a purposeful process of teaching and upbringing by means of providing educational services by the implementation of additional educational programs, information and educational activities outside the main educational programs in the interests of students on the basis of the Kazan Federal University, author's electronic educational resources and digitized programs of additional education were developed and tested on the example of theoretical and experimental teaching at the Small Chemical Institute of the University. A survey of chemistry teachers working in schools in the city of Kazan or the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as graduates - future chemistry teachers showed that 97% of respondents use the possibilities of the system of additional chemistry education. The structure and logic of the implementation of the proposed programs expand the ability to use logical thinking operations in teaching, such as synthesis, analysis, analogy, comparison, generalization and systematization, and are aimed at forming students' understanding of a single chemical picture of the world, its materiality and the reasons for the diversity of the natural science world.
