PRACTICAL TRAINING IN PHYSICS WITH DEMONSTRATIONS IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

Formulation of the problem. The article discusses the features of organizing practical training in physics with the involvement of demonstrations in higher technical educational institutions. Practical training is an integral part of the educational process. In these training, the applicant for higher education applies theory in practice, thereby forming his skills and problem solving skills. The curricula of many technical specialties devote little time to practical classes in physics, and this time, as a rule, is only a third of the total number of classroom hours. We believe that such an approach to the distribution of the study load of students is methodologically unjustified, since it excludes such an important form of classes, in which the student's ability to act quickly and successfully solve the assigned tasks is manifested most of all. The teacher faces the problem of how, in a limited time, to achieve the greatest effect from conducting a practical lesson and what methodology should be chosen for this.

Materials and methods. The solution to this problem was facilitated by the analysis of scientific and methodological sources; generalization of his own pedagogical experience in teaching physics at the Kryvyi Rih National University; the use of theoretical and empirical methods of pedagogical research.

Results. The analysis of traditional and non-standard methods of practical classes in higher education is carried out, their features are studied and their efficiency is determined. A methodical solution for involving demonstrations in practical classes is proposed, given the greatest effectiveness in modern conditions. Specific examples of the use of demonstrations in practical physics classes are given.

Conclusions. Practical training with the use of demonstrations significantly increase the interest of students, as they most clearly reproduce the phenomena being studied. As a result, students learn the material better and easier than with traditional teaching methods.
