DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF LIFE-ORIENTED TASKS IN CHEMISTRY LESSONS TO IMPROVE LEARNING EFFECTIVENESS
Keywords:
chemistry education, life-oriented tasks, contextual learning, teaching methods, problem-based learning, student motivation, practical chemistryAbstract
Modern education requires teaching methods that connect theoretical knowledge with real-life situations. In chemistry education, life-oriented tasks play an important role in helping students understand how chemical concepts apply to everyday life. This article examines the importance of developing and implementing life-oriented tasks in chemistry lessons to improve students’ motivation, understanding, and learning outcomes. The study highlights the pedagogical value of contextual learning and demonstrates how real-world problem-solving tasks enhance the effectiveness of chemistry education.
