Abstract
Annotation: This article examines the effectiveness of applying innovative pedagogical technologies in chemistry lessons within general secondary and higher education institutions. The study analyzes the theoretical foundations of innovative teaching approaches, including digital technologies, interactive methods, problem-based learning, STEAM integration, flipped classroom models, and gamification. The research evaluates their influence on students’ cognitive activity, motivation, academic performance, and practical competence in chemistry. Based on experimental observations, survey results, and comparative analysis, the article demonstrates that innovative pedagogical technologies significantly enhance students’ conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and scientific inquiry skills.
