FORMATION OF PRACTICAL SKILLS IN STUDENTS WITH THE HELP OF EXPERIMENTAL PROBLEMS IN PHYSICS

Abstract

The article introduces one of the ways to form students' practical skills by solving experimental problems focused on a specific practical method that can be successfully used to solve life's cognitive problems. The introduction of the proposed approach was preceded by the study of the opinions of physics teachers of secondary schools in the Volyn region of Ukraine. The attitude and wishes of students from the same region to solving experimental problems are clarified. The definition of experimental problems is offered as follows: these are the problems with the data taken from the experiment to obtain a solution. The solution of experimental problems is considered as a part of educational physical experiment, which is an essential component of the methodical system of teaching physics, as it provides the formation of the necessary practical and research skills. A series of experimental problems that provide the formation of practical skills of students on the example of educational material devoted to the study of the concept of "density of matter". A solution is proposed for each problem. The views of scientists on the problem of using experimental problems in the practice of physics lessons are reflected; the difficulties that teachers face when using the mentioned type of tasks are outlined. A study of corresponding textbooks in recent years on the problem of using experimental problems in the practice of teaching students is conducted. Methodical recommendations on the choice of time for solving the given series of experimental problems, forms of work of students in a modern physics lesson are offered. Attention is paid to the selection and solution of experimental problems of other educational material related to the concept of "density of matter", the place and forms of their solution in the practice of the lesson are substantiated. The effectiveness of the proposed approach to solving experimental problems on the basis of expert evaluation is established.
