THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF DIDACTIC GAMES IN TEACHING CHEMISTRY
Abstract
This article discusses the scientific and theoretical foundations of teaching chemistry based on didactic games, the role and types of didactic games in teaching chemistry, and the use of these games creatively to improve the effectiveness of chemistry education in general secondary schools. It elaborates on how didactic games help develop students’ creative thinking skills. The purpose and procedure of applying these games in lessons are presented step by step. It also explains how these games can guide students toward creative thinking. Accordingly, didactic games fulfill the educational process’s didactic functions—teaching, upbringing, and development—through their entertaining, instructive, and developmental features.
