Abstract

One of the most topical education tasks today is to provide an individual with a systematic self-managed learning possibility, through activating his/her reasoning potential and developing independent research work skills. The article deals with a system model of multi-level independent work organization concentrated on student’s learning and research activity in close interaction with the chemistry subject’s content. Being appropriate for training of modern seafaring (engineering) specialists and substantial for a student, it facilitates implementation of an independent, self-managed learning concept. The structural concept of the proposed model is based on a cooperation-oriented student’s practical and research activity. Alternately changing the structure elements it promotes: (i) development of the comprehension of the chemistry knowledge application and transformation; facilitates (ii) mastering of integrative knowledge and skills; improves (iii) chemistry learning productivity and scientific comprehension; strengthens (iv) self-regulated activity experience, thus ensuring the perfection of research activity competencies.
