The article considers the problem of formation of research and experimental competence of students in teaching physics in the context of European integration processes in Ukraine and the functioning of the bilingual educational environment. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in modern conditions of Ukrainian society there is an accelerated introduction into all spheres of human life achievements of scientific and technological progress, implementation of sustainable development, intensive development of information and communication, digital, cloud technologies, expansion of digitalization. research, production, services. In the XXI century in Ukraine the need for integration of domestic society into the European educational and scientific environment is becoming more acute. Based on the outlined integration trends, the presence of students' competence in communicating in foreign languages, which is one of the key competencies, acquires special relevance for quality education. We see the solution of the tasks in the formation of a bilingual educational environment, which in the teaching of physics has a number of features: definition of the list of key words submitted both in the state and foreign language; submission to each laboratory work of brief theoretical information, in the text of which the relevant keywords are highlighted; similarly to the theoretical information the course of work is given; selection of a list of information and digital resources that will promote better understanding by students of the physical phenomenon or process, the study of which is provided for the purpose of laboratory work; formation of a list of control questions (with highlighted keywords), which will monitor students' knowledge of physics. The article gives an example of laboratory work, the implementation of which is provided in a bilingual educational environment. Our research on the implementation of the proposed elements of the methodology of formation of research and experimental competence of students in teaching physics in a functioning bilingual educational environment showed an increase in students' interest in acquiring knowledge and as a consequence of improving learning outcomes in general. Key words: bilingual educational environment, integrativity, teaching physics, laboratory work, research and experimental competence.
