Formulation of the problem. The problem of conducting a high-quality physic experiment in educational institutions is extremely relevant today. A modern education system is impossible without the active use of digital technologies, online services, and platforms. Therefore, a new form of visualization is actively used in educational activities - virtual, which is effective when supplementing a real physic experiment. The use of a virtual physic experiment activates the cognitive and research activities of students, but only a combination of a virtual and a real experiment provides a high-quality result during physics education. Therefore, one of the main tasks in the process of training future physics teachers is the search for optimal forms and methods of integration of real and virtual experiments, which will contribute to the improvement of the professional competences of the students.
Materials and methods. In order to clarify the state of investigation of the problem in pedagogical theory and practice, the following theoretical methods were used - analysis, comparison, systematization, and generalization of educational and methodological, scientific and applied sources, and electronic resources on the research problem.
Results. The didactic and methodical possibilities of the virtual physic experiment as a means of improving the professional competencies of the students of education were considered. In the research, it is proposed to carry out the laboratory work "Determination of coil inductance by the method of using the phenomenon of self-induction when closing a circuit". Proteus software from Labcenter Electronics was used as an environment for modeling electrical circuits. The results of a student survey on the effectiveness of using a virtual experiment in educational activities are presented.
Conclusions. The use of a virtual physic experiment in the educational process ensures the implementation of the experimental method of teaching physics in the conditions of distance learning, the formation of research abilities and skills, and the application of acquired knowledge in practical activities, significantly expands the possibilities of engaging students in cognitive and research activities, activates their independent activities. The virtual physic experiment contributes to the formation and improvement of the general and professional competencies of the students.
