MODERN RESEARCH ON THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES BY PHYSICS TEACHERS IN TEACHING OPTICS

Abstract

The article discusses current research on the use of digital technologies in teaching optics in the school physics course. Digital tools such as virtual labs, interactive simulations, digital educational resources, as well as augmented and virtual reality technologies are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the possibilities of using these technologies in the study of complex topics in the Optics section, such as reflection and refraction of light, image construction in lenses and mirrors, interference, diffraction and polarization of light. The pedagogical possibilities of digital technologies, their impact on increasing the visibility of educational material, the development of cognitive interest of students and the formation of research skills are considered. It is noted that the use of virtual laboratories and computer models allows students to conduct experiments that cannot be performed in a school laboratory, and interactive simulations help to better understand the physical essence of optical phenomena. The article also analyzes the impact of digital technologies on the quality of students' knowledge, the development of their scientific thinking, independence and digital literacy. It is concluded that the use of digital technologies in teaching optics is an effective means of improving the quality of education and contributes to the formation of a sustained interest in the study of physics. The article examines the pedagogical possibilities of digital technologies, including increasing the visibility of learning, enhancing students' cognitive activity, and developing their research and experimental skills. It is noted that interactive simulations allow students to independently change the parameters of the experiment and observe the results, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the laws of geometric and wave optics. It also analyzes the impact of digital technologies on the quality of students' knowledge, the level of their learning motivation and the development of scientific thinking. It is emphasized that the use of digital technologies contributes to the formation of students' skills of independent work, critical thinking and digital literacy. As a result, it is concluded that the integration of digital technologies into the optics education process is one of the important areas of modernization of modern physical education.
