This paper explores the improvement of teaching methods for the course “History of Chemistry” by applying an integrative approach within an innovative educational environment. The study emphasizes the significance of connecting historical, scientific, and methodological aspects to create a holistic understanding of chemistry’s evolution. The integrative method encourages active student participation, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary learning. It also contributes to shaping creative, research-oriented learners prepared for modern scientific challenges. The article examines pedagogical principles, implementation techniques, and the educational impact of integrating technology and innovation into chemistry education.
