Absract. The chemical experiment as a scientific method is in the focus of students‘ attention when studying different chemical disciplines in higher education. As a method of scientifical and educational knowledge it is also a subject
of in-depth studying at the chemistry didactics lecture course and at the practice
classes in Methods and Techniques of School Chemical Experiment. In the work a methodology is proposed for application of the shcool experiment with goal to form
the scientific literacy of students – future chemistry teachers. The effectiveness of
the developed methodology is proved through pedagogical experiment. It includes
students trained in the Bachelor‘s programs “Biology and Chemistry”, “Chemistry and English” at University of Plovdiv. The experimental data shows that the developed didactic models for the experimental study of substances and chemical processes have a positive effect on students’ cognitive results with a view to forming and developing scientific literacy.
