ORGANIZATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOLCHILDREN’S RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN PHYSICS

Abstract

The methods of organization of schoolchildren’s research activities in the context of teaching physics at a high school with the requirements of the FSE standard of basic general education and basic secondary education. It is shown that the use of research in educational activity increases the motivation for studying. Besides, creative, educational, and research abilities are developed. As a result of the tasks performed schoolchildren comprehend their own actions, analyze the results of measurements, evaluate the reliability and accuracy of measurement results, and define the limits of applicability. They also generalize and systemize theoretical knowledge. Schoolchildren acquire skills of experimental measurements, knowledge about physical devices, methods and techniques of measurement, terms of physical quantities in the International System of Units SI measurements, and the interrelationship and interdependence between physical quantities. They are able to compile presentations for presenting experimental research results. Everything mentioned above is a prerequisite for successful mastering Physics.
