Abstract

The generally accepted idea of modern education is its compliance with the development of science, as well as with those methods of cognition that are decisive in science. The main goal of teaching physics in high school is to develop the personality of students by means of physics as an educational subject, in particular through the formation of physical knowledge about natural phenomena, a scientific worldview and an appropriate style of thinking, ecological culture, the development of experimental and research skills, creative abilities and a tendency to creative thinking in them.The article justifies the importance of including in the content of the school physics course modern issues of physics, which are the basis of modern technology and engineering. The purpose of the article is to establish the features of teaching the basics of quantum physics in the conditions of a specialized school and outline the directions for the formation of students' theoretical thinking.The content of high school physical education is aimed at students mastering scientific facts and fundamental ideas, their awareness of the essence of concepts and laws, principles and theories that allow not only to explain the course of phenomena and processes, but also to understand the scientific foundations of modern production, technology and engineering, and to use the acquired knowledge in practical activities. It is determined that for high school students the development of formal theoretical thinking is of great importance. It is shown that for this it is advisable to use approaches that take into account the peculiarities of the content of quantum physics: the objects of research are microobjects; a special place among physical experiments is occupied by fundamental experiments that are difficult to reproduce in the conditions of an educational institution. Special attention is paid to the thought experiment as a means of forming the basic concepts of quantum physics and developing students' formal thinking.It is determined that in general the methodology of teaching quantum physics is dynamic, constantly evolving, since the content of this section is filled with new material.
