THE COMBINATION OF CAUSALITY AND PROBABILISTIC APPROACHES AS A CONDITION OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY SKILLS FORMATION AT THE LESSONS OF PHYSICS

Abstract

This article explains the idea of interconnection of probabilistic and causality approaches when studying physics in a secondary school. The author examines the peculiarities of the main categories: “causality” and “contingency”, the idea of a hierarchy at different levels of organization of matter, as well as the reflection of this idea within a school course of physics. The analysis of scientific sources on the topic allows the author to conclude that there is a necessity to make amendments to the existing method of studying physics, and, in particular, the use of surveillance schemes and analysis of physical phenomena in accordance with the principle of causality and the probabilistic approach.
