SEPARATE ASPECTS OF THE REALIZATION OF POLYTECHNIC EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOL COURSE OF PHYSICS

Abstract

Formulation of the problem. In the XXI century in Ukraine the problems of increasing the practical orientation of school education and assessing the effectiveness of learning from the standpoint of student competence as an integrated learning outcome have become relevant. Society needs people who are conscious, purposeful, active in building their lives, socially active, capable of individual creative work and aimed at transforming reality and themselves. Modern youth must be ready to use the modern technical achievements of civilization, be able to use them safely, be environmentally conscious, adapt quickly to the changing world of technology. Education must ensure the adequacy of the potential of human resources to equipment, technologies, methods of production management, which today are updated very quickly. Polytechnic education is one of the basic components of general education, without which comprehensive human development is impossible, and the resumption of polytechnic education is dictated by the needs of the time and has nationwide importance. Therefore, the article considers the problem of improving the quality of school physics education through the implementation of polytechnic education in the study of physics, the formation of students' technical knowledge and skills that will correspond to the level of scientific and technological progress. The introduction of "polytechnic education" is carried out both through the content of educational material and through various forms and methods of educational activities.

Materials and methods. The following methods were used in the research process: theoretical - analysis, comparison, systematization and generalization of educational and methodical, popular science and applied sources on the research problem.

Results. Didactic possibilities of application of technical tasks in a school course of physics as means of realization of polytechnic training are considered, their functions and a role in formation of polytechnic knowledge and abilities are explained; the tasks of technical content tasks are singled out, the requirements to them are formulated, examples of technical content tasks from separate sections of physics which promote increase of efficiency of educational process, provide formation of both key and subject competence of pupils, successful application of knowledge in various life situations are given.

Conclusions. The process of solving the proposed tasks of technical content provides the implementation of research activities; activation of students' cognitive interest;  interest in learning about the world around and the possibility of experimental study of physical processes. The implementation of polytechnic education in the educational process creates opportunities for personal self-determination and self-realization of students, for the professional choice of students in accordance with their interests, abilities, passions.
