Abstract
This article explores effective strategies for developing students’ ability to apply chemical knowledge in everyday life, a key component of functional scientific literacy. In the context of modern education, it is increasingly important that students understand not only chemical theories, but also their relevance and practical application in real-world situations. The study identifies pedagogical methods that promote contextual learning, such as problem-based learning, inquiry-oriented activities, and interdisciplinary tasks. Emphasis is placed on designing lessons that bridge the gap between academic content and students' daily experiences, including environmental issues, household chemistry, and health-related contexts. The paper also discusses the role of teacher guidance, curriculum flexibility, and assessment tools in supporting the transfer of classroom knowledge to everyday decision-making. The findings highlight that when chemistry education is connected to real-life applications, students become more engaged, motivated, and better prepared to act as scientifically informed citizens.
