Interactive lessons with ICT in chemistry education

Publication

Abstract

In this paper, we focus to the creation and verification an interactive chemistry lessons for lower secondary schools with application of different interactive methods related to the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Interactive lessons allow the students to clarify, complete and systematize the knowledge they acquired during the lesson, thanks to the way they can rouse their interest and stimulate their intellectual abilities.

The first stage of our work consisted of an analysis of educational content. Whereas little has been written about the benefits and application of interactive lessons.

Some possibilities and practical value are considered in works [2-4]. Currently, ICT is able to increase motivation, promote personalized learning and stimulate interaction between teachers and students [5-6].

In the second stage of our work, we developed interactive chemistry lessons for lower secondary schools. First verification was carried out in the December 2018 on specialized school-board information technologies in Karaganda (Kazakhstan).

The total 52 respondents participated (20 female adolescent and 32 male adolescent). The results showed that more than 75 % of the student enjoy working in an interactive environment and this positively affects their opinions towards the subject.

In the next part, we will therefore focus on verification of the use of interactive chemistry lessons in the Czech Republic.
