METHODOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT OF THE STUDENT OLYMPIAD IN PHYSICS IN DISTANCE FORMAT

Abstract

The article proposed by the author deals with one of the most pressing issues for employees of education management bodies, methodologists and scientists who are part of the organizing committees and juries of the All-Ukrainian student olympiads of various levels - how to properly, qualitatively, comply with all standards, and at the appropriate level organize and conduct the relevant student olympiads. The article examines the issue of methodological features of the All-Ukrainian student physics olympiad at the regional level. The study of modern scientific, pedagogical, special literature and the legislative framework revealed the absence of a unified approach to solving this problem today, although some efforts have been made recently in the introduction of distance and mixed forms of organization of education process, implementation of digital transformation of the education system, digitalization of elements of the educational process, implementation of mobile learning technologies. These are developed and implemented digital and information resources, platforms, educational environments, tools and services, approaches, methods and some practical experience. Understanding the processes of organizing and conducting olympiads of various levels allowed the author to outline the possible existing approaches and options for organizing and conducting experimental and theoretical rounds of the III (regional) stage of the All-Ukrainian student physics olympiad in remote form, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as to characterize the methodological features of these processes. For each proposed variant of organizing and conducting an experimental tour in remote form, the author provides examples of possible tasks of an experimental tour in physics based on a creative experiment using improvised means, a virtual experiment with existing platforms, the use of mobile learning elements based on existing mobile applications. The author also considered methodological features of organizing and conducting a theoretical tour of the olympiad in a remote format. The article describes possible expected difficulties in organizing and conducting the physics olympiad in a remote format and suggests ways to solve them. Based on the analysis of the presented material, the author made general conclusions and proposed directions for further scientific and methodical research of this problem.
