Formation of students' research skills and abilities with the help of Mobile Learning in the course of general physics

Abstract

Relevance. The relevance of this research work is to investigate the impact of mobile learning methods on students' academic performance in the course of general physics based on university-level physics laboratories, since similar studies show that allowing students to solve mathematical models of physical processes exclusively on their smartphones rather than on traditional personal computers tends to improve students' academic performance.Purpose. The purpose of this research work was set, which is to study the impact of mobile learning on the formation of research skills and abilities in the study of general physics course, and in particular in the construction of mathematical models, which include methods of differential and integral calculus.Methodology. To achieve the goal of this research work empirical methods of research were used, which consist of observation, direct experiment, generalization and analysis of the results obtained. For the research two groups of students were formed � control and experimental, who studied the same physics disciplines, only the control group did it on personal computers, and the experimental group did it on smartphones.Results\Conclusions. The results of the experiment showed that the use of smartphones in the building of mathematical models in the course of general physics increases the academic performance of students. The results of this research work have prospects for use in the development of new techniques in education, in particular for the course of general physics and other research subjects. The results are also in demand for the analysis of student results obtained in mobile learning, which can be used to improve the academic performance of students.
