Abstract

Modern educational technologies have a significant impact on chemistry teaching in schools, opening up innovative approaches that greatly improve learning outcomes. Virtual laboratories, simulations, gamification, and interactive tools meet students' needs such as individualized learning, increased motivation, development of 21st-century skills, access to information, visualization of complex concepts, fostering independence, social interaction, and the development of digital competencies. These technologies make complex chemical concepts accessible, engaging, and visual. This article discusses the integration of these tools into chemistry curricula, analyzing their advantages, challenges, and prospects. A comprehensive review of existing digital technologies provides information on their application and effectiveness, contributing to the development of research in the field of digital learning in the natural sciences.
