Work experience shows that applicants entering university for chemical specialties are practically not familiar with the state of the chemical industry in Kazakhstan. They are poorly aware of the opportunities and prospects of the chosen profession due to the lack of information about chemical industry, its achievements, successes and development tasks. All this prevents the conscious assimilation of educational material in the chosen specialty. According to the authors, a carefully thought-out and substantiated introductory material, supported by figures and facts, will make it possible to understand the importance of the chosen profession and its deep assimilation. Familiarization with the achievements and successes in the construction of the chemical industry instills a sense of patriotism, pride in their Motherland, forms an active life position, and familiarization and awareness of environmental problems that invariably accompany the chemical industry, fosters a sense of their rejection and stimulates the search for ways to eliminate them. Examples of the implementation of the proposed idea in the classroom in various disciplines are given below. For example, at the lecture «Classification of methods of physical research» («Physical methods of research» discipline) it is advisable to inform students about the work in Kazakhstan of five National Laboratories for Collective Use; at the laboratory lesson «Design and operation of an IR spectrometer» (discipline «Introduction to spectroscopy») it is useful to talk about scientific activities and equipment of university scientific laboratories of an engineering profile etc. According to the authors, the presentation of the introductory material should not be instructive, obligatory, intrusive.
