СИСТЕМНО-ДІЯЛЬНІСНИЙ ПІДХІД У НАВЧАННІ ТЕОРЕТИЧНОЇ ФІЗИКИ В ПЕДАГОГІЧНОМУ УНІВЕРСИТЕТІ

Abstract

The article deals with the theoretical aspects and practical implementation of the system-activity approach in teaching the discipline «Theoretical Physics» at the Pedagogical University within credit and module system of the educational process. In the context of the analysis of problematic issues of fundamental training of pre-service physics teachers, the leading educational task of the theoretical physics course is substantiated: creation of the most complete and holistic ideas about the modern physical view of the world and the content of its fundamental physical theories in the process of forming pre-service physics teachers’ professional competence. The main principles, methods and techniques of the author's methods of teaching of the course of theoretical physics at the Pedagogical University on the basis of a student centered approach are highlighted. As a basis for the author's approach to teaching theoretical physics developed educational and methodological complex (on the example of the course «Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics»), which contains a curriculum recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for lectures, seminars and practical classes, a collection of tests for diagnostics of students' academic achievements (which includes among the obligatory program questions of methodological and ideological nature), syllabus of generalization of knowledge (the content of scientific-theoretical and practical-activity components of professional competence for each semantic module of the discipline is defined and concretized on the basis of structuring of elements of knowledge). It is noted that the study of theoretical physics by pre-service teachers of physics should take into account the principle of interconnection and continuity with the course of general physics, from a single stand, methodically combined with a common idea of forming the most complete and holistic ideas about the modern physical view of the world and its evolution; awareness of the content and structure of fundamental physical theories, their unity, multifunctionality and hierarchy in accordance with certain spatial intervals and interactions. Key words: theoretical physics, professional competence of physics teacher, educational and methodical complex, activity approach, professional orientation.
