Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses student research project work as an essential component of the context-based approach to teaching analytical chemistry. The key principles of student research project work were formulated. Step-by-step planning and organization of this work was proposed considering different functions of the teacher and the student in the research project activity. The context-based approach was illustrated by an interdisciplinary project on designing software for measuring nitrates in vegetables. The effectiveness of the research project work was evaluated by a students’ survey. Attitudes toward research projects were very positive and students developed a better understanding of practical importance of analytical chemistry.
