Abstract
Ukraine's desire to integrate into the European Higher Education Area requires the national system of training specialists to be brought into line with European requirements for the quality of education, as defined by the Standards and Guidelinesfor Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area. This necessitates updating the content of higher education, particularly in chemistry. Chemistry is one of the basic sciences underpinning the development of industry, medicine, energy, ecology, and other high-tech fields, so the quality of training for specialists in this field is crucial for the country's development and its ability to respond to contemporary global challenges.The purpose of the study: to theoretically substantiate the directions of modernization of the content of chemical education in higher education institutions of Ukraine in accordance with the educational standards of the European Union, to analyze studies related to the modernization of the EU education system, and to propose appropriate improvements for the domestic education system in the field of chemistry.The authors analyzed scientific works and international recommendations, compared educational approaches used in Ukraine and European Union countries, and performed a regulatory and legal analysis of documents governing the functioning of the higher education system. They summarized the pedagogical experience of using innovative technologies in teaching chemistry disciplines and applied a theoretical modeling method to identify priority areas for modernization.The modernization of chemistry education is seen as a systemic phenomenon aimed at replacing the knowledge-based model of training with a competency-based one, strengthening student-centered learning, transitioning to interdisciplinary approaches, developing the digital component, as well as updating practical training, taking into account the limitations of distance/blended learning, harmonizing the credit system to facilitate the implementation of the student-teacher mobility plan, and ensuring safety in conditions of martial law. Key constraints in the modernization process (resource constraints, material and technical base, need for teacher training) and prospects for further integration into the European Higher Education Area have been identified.The results obtained will help to update chemistry programs and curricula, add digital and virtual tools to the educational process, and set up quality control in line with European standards (ESG). This will also simplify university mobility and the recognition of student grades at other institutions.The materials in the article will be useful for the Ministry of Education and Science and guarantors of higher education programs, teachers of chemistry disciplines, methodologists, developers of standards and teaching materials, as well as for researchers in the field of secondary school pedagogy and higher education chemistry education.
