PRACTICE OF APPLYING COMPUTER MODELING IN CHEMISTRY STUDIES AT PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY

The article describes the experience of using computer modeling in the study of chemistry by students of pedagogical universities. Computer modeling is one of the ways to increase the informatization of education, including chemical education. Informatization of education is a social order for the training of competent and highly qualified specialists in various industries, and in some cases, the creation of multifunctional personnel who can easily navigate in various fields. The methodological basis of the computer modeling basics introduction in the educational process is described. It is important to note that the developed interactive tasks can be used in the study of any chemical discipline. According to the author of the article, the use of educational computer programs helps to increase the efficiency of mastering abstract concepts. The results of the conducted pedagogical experiment show an increase in the coefficient of chemical concept assimilation completeness in the experimental group of students, compared with the control group.
