Abstract

The most important problem for high-quality and effective education in a university is the creation of a set of competencies that reflect the results of the development of educational programs. The purpose of the study is to address the most important problem in achieving high-quality and effective education at a university, which is the development of a set of competencies reflecting the results of educational program development. The state educational standards for the educational program and the rules for drawing up the educational program were studied, and a review of the research of scientists on this problem and the work programs of various teachers of organic chemistry were conducted. The methods employed to determine the initial level of establishment of special and professional competencies among students of the educational programs 6B01515 “Chemistry” and 6B01516 “Chemistry-Biology” are specifically designed for the discipline of Organic Chemistry. These methods were implemented in practice at the Department of Biology, Geography, and Chemistry of the Institute of Natural Sciences, Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University. Furthermore, pedagogical methods, tools, and technologies were utilized during practical application in the context of the discipline of Organic Chemistry to foster competency development among students. In conclusion, changes in the motivation of practicing students to study the discipline, working with a syllabus prepared by a teacher for study, the results of achieving the planned learning outcomes at lectures, in laboratory work, and the effectiveness and results of planning independent work of students by the research hypothesis were proved. © 2023 American Chemical Society and Division of Chemical Education, Inc.
