INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT: INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO TEACHING THE MECHANICS OF SCHOOL PHYSICS SECTION

Abstract

This article discusses in detail the theoretical and practical foundations of the use of interactive technologies and educational experiment in teaching the mechanics of school physics. In the modern education system, one of the main tasks is to develop students' functional literacy, critical and research thinking skills. In this context, it is obvious that it is not enough to limit oneself to traditional methods of interpretation and illustration in teaching physics, especially mechanics, which is considered its fundamental part. The article analyzes the didactic possibilities of combining interactive technologies, in particular virtual laboratories, computer modeling, digital measuring devices and elements of STEM education with educational experiment. It is scientifically proven that an educational experiment allows students to prove their theoretical knowledge based on real experience, and to better understand the cause-and-effect relationship of physical patterns. It is also shown that in the context of interactive learning, the role of experiment acquires a research character, and is not limited only to demonstration character. The article describes the impact of innovative methods used in studying the topics of movement, force, work and energy in the mechanics section on students' cognitive activity, learning motivation and the quality of knowledge. The advantages and limitations of mixed laboratory work based on virtual experiments and real equipment are considered relatively. The results of the study show that the systematic use of interactive technologies and educational experiments not only increases students' interest in the subject, but also develops their skills of independent work, analysis and summing up. The presented scientific and methodological conclusions are of practical importance for school physics teachers, methodologists and research teachers and are aimed at improving the teaching of the mechanics department. The article presents innovative approaches aimed at modernizing the educational process through the harmonious use of interactive technologies and educational experiment in teaching the mechanistic section of school physics. The scientific novelty of the scientific work is to improve the model of integration of interactive technologies and assessment methods for them based on the results of an educational experiment, in contrast to traditional learning models. The results of the experimental study are reflected in the depth of theoretical knowledge, improvement of practical skills and increased motivation of students.
