Educational comic as a means to increase positive motivation in chemistry lesson
Abstract
The article is devoted to the organization of educational process that meets the requirements of the modern educational standard. The need to find methodological ways and create favorable conditions in the lesson has been caused by the need to improve the quality of school education. The authors point out the problem associated with the difficulties of students learning chemical concepts that are quite abstract in nature. Most concepts of the Chemistry course are represented by symbols, the assimilation of which requires their memorization, sometimes mechanical memorization and fragmentary perception. The ability to operate with concepts is not developed by every student; his absence prevents the further assimilation of the subsequent topics of the Chemistry course. Such concepts as communication, reaction, transformations, which have a procedural meaning, are subjected to even more difficult assimilation. In this regard the research goal has been defined, which consists in the search and creation of necessary conditions aimed at establishing positive motivation for the subject, formation of knowledge and development of intellectual skills. In their opinion, the concepts associated with chemical processes can be represented in the form of an educational comic book. To identify an educational request among middle school students, the authors conducted a survey, the results of which determined their preferred genre. A comparison of the literary genre with educational material has made it possible to use comics in the process of mastering chemical concepts. The advantages of such a technique, expressed in the associative perception of educational material, have been highlighted. The article describes the learning technology, design stages, requirements and examples of analogies. In the implementation of this learning technology project activity acts as a form of educational process organization, and the process of creating a comic strip becomes an artistic and educational creative design. In the given lesson planning, a description of the lesson at the stage of systematization of chemical concepts is presented. The main result of pedagogical action is to establish positive motivation for students in the educational process. The authors have come to this conclusion as a result of reflection in the classroom, as well as pedagogical observation during approbation of the technique at seminars and courses. Thus, this technology can be used as a technique that establishes motivation among schoolchildren aimed at generalizing and creating a holistic picture of the material studied.
