Organic Chemistry Lessons: A Creative Approach to Laboratory
Work in Developing Students' Competency Skills
Abstract
This article examines the impact of integrating a creative approach into laboratory work in organic chemistry lessons to enhance students' competency development. The enrichment of traditional laboratory practices with innovative methods, fostering problem-solving skills, and encouraging independent research are explored. The study provides examples of how laboratory work can enhance students' critical thinking, practical skills, and scientific inquiry abilities. The discussed approaches not only increase the effectiveness of modern chemistry education but also stimulate students' interest in scientific processes and uncover their creative potential.
