The authors analyze the concepts of "humanization" and "humanitarian" in the context of teaching chemistry in schools and pedagogical universities. The relationship between the processes of humanization and humanization of chemical education is presented. The humanization of teaching chemistry is considered as a characteristic of the learning process, in particular, through the introduction of educational technologies focused on the student's personality, the priority of humanistic values and ideals in the organization of training. Meaningful humanization creates a new technology of education, i.e. educational technology, distinctive signs which are interactivity, understood as effective multifaceted interaction of the individual with chemical – pedagogical learning environment and promoting formation of professional competence of future teachers of chemistry. The authors describe four groups of interactive methods of teaching chemistry: methods of positive motivation, methods of organizing interactive cognitive and practical activities of the student, reflexive assessment methods, and methods of developing an individual educational learning environment. On the results of the pedagogical experiment, a method of teaching the humanization of inorganic chemistry for the formation of professional competence of future chemistry teachers is given.
