Using didactic games in teaching the basic concepts of chemistry

Анотація

Chemistry, as a fundamental natural science, plays an essential role in educating students about the structure, properties, and transformation of matter. However, abstract concepts in chemistry may be difficult for some students to grasp. Traditional teaching methods often involve theoretical explanations, which may not always be effective in ensuring full comprehension. Students may struggle with visualizing atomic and molecular interactions or understanding the significance of chemical formulas and equations. Therefore, incorporating didactic games into the teaching process serves as an effective method to encourage active learning by engaging students in problem-solving activities, fostering critical thinking, and providing an interactive way to explore chemistry concepts Didactic games offer a hands-on approach to learning that enhances conceptual understanding by making lessons more enjoyable and dynamic [1].
