Abstract
The article examines current methodological approaches to teaching chemistry to students of non-profile specialties in higher education institutions under conditions of blended learning. It is emphasized that traditional forms of presenting educational material do not always ensure a sufficient level of motivation and subject-specific competence development among students for whom chemistry is not a core discipline. This creates the need to search for effective instructional technologies capable of integrating theoretical knowledge with students’ practical professional needs. In this regard, the study substantiates the feasibility of combining face-to-face and online components of the educational process with the implementation of professionally oriented case-based tasks that simulate real situations of future professional activity. Particular attention is paid to the possibilities of using digital educational resources, interactive platforms, independent learning activities, and practical classes aimed at solving applied problems within professional contexts. It is noted that the integration of the case method into the structure of blended learning contributes to the activation of students’ cognitive activity, the development of critical thinking, the ability to apply chemical knowledge in practical situations, and the formation of teamwork skills, autonomy, and responsibility for learning outcomes. The study highlights that professionally oriented chemistry teaching in the contemporary context of higher education digitalization requires further methodological improvement, particularly in the selection of the content of instructional modules, the optimal combination of face-to-face and distance learning formats, and the development of criteria for assessing students’ academic achievements. The prospects for further research are identified as being related to the adaptation of case-based technologies to different educational programs and the expansion of their application in the training of future specialists of non-medical and non-chemical profiles.
