Problems of digital transformation of laboratory practicum during teaching of natural science disciplines

The problems of increasing the share of digital learning resources in educational practice for the natural science disciplines, in particular chemistry, within the system of higher technical educational institutions have been analyzed. The elements that should include a laboratory practicum, which is delivered with the use of information and communication technologies, are considered. The necessity of combined use of virtual elements of the practicum with the implementation of real experimental laboratory work is reasoned. One of the possible forms of implementation of virtual laboratory work in chemistry is considered, the necessary components in the content, structure and form of interaction between the teacher and students when performing such work are noted. The problems of digital transformation of laboratory practice during teaching of general and inorganic chemistry are discussed.
