Formation of chemical and ecological competence of students in chemistry direction in higher educational institutions

Research relevance in the article is based on the formation of the chemical and ecological competence of students in chemical education in higher educational institutions. It should be noted that in the theory and methodology of teaching of future chemists’ bachelors, the problems associated with the formation of professional competencies have not been sufficiently studied. Research goals and objectives: to show the experience of implementing the competence-based approach in teaching chemists bachelors on the basis of the developed theoretical model of the chemical-ecological competence formation, to reveal the essence and importance of chemical-ecological competence in the process of university students teaching. Research methods: the study used integration methods, general cultural and general scientific, instrumental (IC, social and personal approaches), a review and analysis of literature sources on the formation of chemical and ecological competence of students in teaching chemistry in the higher educational institutions and universities. Research results: an effective means of integrating knowledge and professional skills is educational practice and solving problems with chemical and environmental content, which contributes to a deeper assimilation of the material. Conclusions: on practical lessons it was found that special attention in teaching students to specific types of activities is the basis of professional competence.
