Teaching the history of chemistry today requires more than memorizing names and chronological discoveries. It is increasingly viewed as a tool to stimulate critical thinking, encourage interdisciplinary connections, and strengthen students’ scientific worldview. Recent international practices highlight the use of integration strategies, modern technologies, and innovative teaching techniques that bring historical knowledge closer to contemporary learners. This article explores global approaches to teaching the history of chemistry, focusing on integration across disciplines, the adoption of digital and interactive tools, and the introduction of innovative methods that make the subject both engaging and relevant.
