Extensive teaching of physics for students of technical specialties with the help of experimental units and computer simulation software

Abstract

The paper studies the issues of the extensive teaching of physics for the stu-dents of technical specialties with the help of experimental units and com-puter simulation software. The authors proposed and experimentally tested a pedagogical method for increasing the students’ interest in mastering the study material in physics. The article presents the experimental units devel-oped by the authors and patented as utility models for the study of dielectric hysteresis and the tunnel effect, developed by the authors and patented as useful models. Computer models for calculating the current in an electrical circuit and for calculating the interaction potential of particles created by the authors and patented as computer programs are shown. The methods of per-forming work by students on experimental units and with the help of com-puter simulation software are described. In conclusion, an increase in the in-terest and involvement of students in project and research work after the in-troduction of experimental units and computer models into the educational process, and as a result, an increase in motivation for learning in general and in-depth study of physics in particular, was noted.
