The goal of every teacher is to provide quality teaching and better opportunities for pupils to achieve the learning content. Effective teaching requires modern approaches, such as contextual and interdisciplinary teaching and the use of digital technology (DT). The interdisciplinary integration of chemistry and fine arts enables a more comprehensive understanding of abstract chemical concepts. The research examined the impact of using DT and artistic approaches in chemistry lessons. In this study, Grade 8 pupils learned about the structure of the atom by using simulations and creating atom models. The research aimed to determine how such approaches affect pupils' understanding, motivation, and participation. The research showed that combining DT and creative methods improves the understanding of the structure of the atom, where creating a model is particularly effective. The research, which was based on quantitative methods, included 88 Grade 8 pupils at the Brežice Elementary School. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of ICT, cross-curricular integration, and contextual teaching of chemistry and encourage teachers to incorporate innovative pedagogical approaches to improve the learning process.
