Modernization of content of lecture course in physics to train future agricultural engineers

Abstract

The main goal of the higher education system of the agrarian and technical educational institutions is training qualified specialists in accordance with the public demand. The article contains analysis of the theoretical provisions that form the basis of the concept of teaching physics to the students of agrarian and technical educational institutions during the lectures. There are established integrative connections between the fundamental essence and professional orientation of teaching physics to the students of an agrarian-technical educational institution during the lectures, and a proven methodology described for their implementation. There are disclosed the main techniques for realization of professional orientation of teaching physics in the form of lectures to the students of agrarian and technical educational institutions. There are defined the main ways of increasing the professional knowledge of the students while studying the course of physics. Since the educational process in physics in an agrarian and technical educational institution is a complex system that includes many components, in order to investigate it, as a whole, and to study each of its components separately, it is necessary to determine the basic principles of the fundamental and professional orientation of education. It is proved that the use of a professionally directed material contributes to the formation of a system of physical knowledge by the students, as well as the acquisition of various practical skills and abilities. Introduction of professional competence into the educational process stimulates cognitive interest in the study of physics as a science, allows to better assimilate the material of other disciplines of the natural science cycle, develops cognitive and creative abilities, and influences the formation of sustainable motives for obtaining knowledge in special disciplines.
