FORMATION OF COMPONENT ELEMENTS OF STUDENTS’ STEM COMPETENCE DURING THE STUDY OF PHYSICS USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGI ES

Abstract

The role of digital technologies in the educational process is now becoming an increasingly significant and integral part of the formation of students’ competencies in various sciences and disciplines. Their influence on the study of natural sciences, in particular physics, is especially important, since this discipline requires the development of analytical thinking, technical skills and the ability to solve complex problems. Digital technologies contribute to increasing the interactivity of physics lessons. The use of virtual laboratories, simulations and interactive programs allows students to experiment and observe physical phenomena in a safe environment. This helps to understand and remember the material, and also develops the skills of independent work and critical thinking. An important component of the formation of STEM competence is the use of programming and robotics in teaching physics. It allows students to create their own experiments, models and projects, which promotes creative thinking, engineering skills and the ability to work in a team. The connection between physics and other STEM disciplines is important, and digital technologies help to mark this connection. Students can study physics using examples from mathematics, chemistry and engineering, making learning more interesting and understandable. Formation of STEM competence of students during the study of physics with the help of digital technologies is a relevant and necessary task in modern education. This contributes to the development of a deep understanding of physical phenomena, the expansion of students’ skills in the field of science and technology, which, in turn, prepares a new generation of specialists for the development of modern society.
