MODERNISATION OF PHYSICS TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DIGITALISATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

In the course of their research, the authors analysed the theoretical and methodological foundations of modernising physics teaching in higher education institutions in the context of the digitalisation of the educational process, as well as contemporary approaches to the integration information and communication technologies, immersive environments, virtual laboratories and multimedia resources into the structure of professional training for students. Particular attention is paid to the possibilities of using digital educational platforms, simulation programmes and augmented and virtual reality technologies as means of improving the effectiveness of educational and cognitive activities of students. The aim of the work is to theoretically substantiate and analyse contemporary approaches to modernising the teaching of physics in higher education institutions in the context of the digitalisation of the educational process, as well as to determine the pedagogical conditions for the effective integration of information and communication and immersive technologies into teaching. The methodology of the study is based on systemic, informational and comprehensive approaches that allow us to consider the digitalisation of physics education as a multidimensional process of transformation of the educational environment, educational content and pedagogical technologies. The work uses methods of analysis of scientific sources, generalisation of pedagogical experience, and systematisation of theoretical provisions. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the comprehensive justification of the pedagogical conditions for modernising the teaching of physics in higher education institutions in the context of the digitalisation of the educational environment. The authors conclude that effective modernisation of physics teaching in higher education institutions is possible provided that a modern digital educational environment is created, the digital competence of teachers is improved, innovative technologies are integrated into the structure of the educational process, and traditional and digital teaching methods are combined. Such approaches contribute to improving the quality of natural science training of students and their adaptation to the requirements of a digital society. In addition, taking into account the peculiarities of the construct under study, it is fundamentally important not only to improve the content of physics education, but also to expand the range of digital teaching tools by integrating interactive models, virtual experiments, simulation platforms and augmented reality technologies into the educational process.
