Дидактическая сложность различных тем школьного курса физики и ее оценка

Abstract

The article discusses the actual problem of assessing the didactic complexity of sufficiently large educational texts on the example of topics and sections of a school physics course. To determine the complexity of the text, the expert must: 1) divide the text into fragments of 3–4 pages; 2) for each fragment, write out 10 key terms in a file, knowledge of which is necessary for understanding the text; 2) collect key concepts in one file Slovar.txt and evaluate the complexity of each term; 3) using a special program Slozhnost.pas, accessing the file Slovar.txt, analyze files with keywords and calculate their average information capacity; 4) for each topic, estimate the proportion of mathematical and other formulas relative to the total volume; 5) write out the key terms present in mathematical formulas from each topic in a special file and evaluate their complexity; 7) using the Slozhnost.pas program, determine the total amount of information in the key terms included in the formulas, as well as the information folding coefficient; 8) find the average number of words in sentences, the average word length, and calculate the structural complexity of the text; 9) calculate differential and integral didactic complexity for each topic. The results of the analysis are presented in a table and histograms characterizing the didactic complexity of various sections and topics of the school physics course.
