METHODS OF STRUCTURING EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION WHEN TEACHING ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY TO FUTURE PHARMACISTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of structuring methods of educational information, which are appropriate to use in teaching analytical chemistry. Attention is focused on the relevance of the implementation of structural and logical schemes in connection with the following factors: the constant increase in the information load on education seekers, the need to process large amounts of knowledge, the active use of information visualization techniques in the context of such concepts as visual thinking and visual education. Features and advantages of using reference summaries, frame models, «Fishbone» schemes, and production models in analytical chemistry classes are characterized, taking into account the content of the educational material of various sections and topics. The effectiveness of information structuring in analytical chemistry is determined by the specificity of the educational material, which presents a large number of analysis methods that provide clear algorithms for conducting research and conducting calculations. It has been established that students of pharmaceutical education have a positive attitude to the use of various methods of information structuring, as it improves the understanding of the educational material, saves time, and this presentation is visual, compact and creative. When studying methods of qualitative analysis, students prefer reference summaries and «Fishbone» schemes, they rarely use production models. In quantitative analysis topics, it is more convenient to use frame models. It was noted that one of the advantages of sing structural-logical schemes is the possibility of combining them with other methods and using them during both lectures and practical classes, as well as when performing independent work. It is emphasized that the use of structural and logical schemes not only increases the level of knowledge of analytical chemistry students, but also forms skills in working with information, the ability to logically systematize and structure it, establish cause-and-effect relationships, which are important qualities of a modern pharmaceutical specialist.
