MODERN METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING ORGANIC CHEMISTRY IN ACADEMIC LYCEUMS: APPROACHES, TECHNOLOGIES, AND EFFECTIVENESS

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the modern methodology for teaching organic chemistry to students of academic lyceums. The study examines the specific didactic features of organic chemistry, the typical difficulties that arise in mastering fundamental concepts such as the carbon skeleton, homologous series, functional groups, isomerism, and reaction mechanisms. The article considers the integrated use of three-dimensional molecular modeling, context-based learning, problem-based learning, electronic learning platforms (ChemDraw, Avogadro, MolView), and laboratory experiments. The findings demonstrate that visualization, active learning strategies, and the consistent linkage of macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic levels significantly deepen students’ conceptual understanding of organic chemistry. The article also presents the results of a methodological experiment conducted at the Academic Lyceum of Chirchiq State Pedagogical University.
