The article describes the role of chemistry science in modern life and the importance of its study in secondary school. Non-standard forms of learning, which activate cognitive process of students, are noted. The author briefly describes the goals that are set before students and highlights the basic principles of high school students’ cognitive culture formation at chemistry lessons.

The relevance of the presented research is due to the need to study the problem of preparing students for the formation of cognitive culture in the learning process. Technological preparation is an important component of modern schoolchildren education and upbringing, formation of cognitive culture among students. In the conditions of a democratic state development, one of the most urgent problems remains constant improvement of educational and cultural level of the people. That is why the task is so urgent today - to teach schoolchildren to learn, to acquire their knowledge independently, to navigate the flow of information. New programs of the general education school direct teachers toward the formation in students a set of interdisciplinary or general educational knowledge, skills and abilities that serve as the basis of the cognitive culture for each age group. The main approach, which was used to achieve this goal, is culturological one. The main method is problem method; in addition, visual, verbal and practical methods were used. The school curriculum was analyzed, and topics were identified, in which it was possible to introduce cognitive material for the formation of the cognitive culture. The main conditions for preparing students for the formation of cognitive culture in the process of teaching the subject were considered. The result of this research work is revealing of the basic methods and forms for maximizing the creative potential of students. The research problem consists in comprehension, theoretical substantiation of the effective pedagogical conditions that would contribute to the formation of students’ cognitive culture. The necessity of solving this problem, its urgency, determined the choice of the research topic: "Readiness of students for the formation of cognitive culture". The aim of the research is to substantiate theoretically the pedagogical conditions for the readiness to form among students cognitive culture. The object of the research is the process of forming the cognitive culture in schoolchildren. The subject of the study is the readiness of students to perceive cognitive culture. To solve these tasks, a set of research methods was used: analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical scientific works, synthesis, systematization, classification, generalization.

The paper proposes a form of teaching using information technologies in chemistry classes. The use of distance learning for work with gifted children or in situations where there is no possibility of direct dialogue between teacher and student contributes development of independence of students and their self-control.
