ABOUT PHYSICAL OLYMPIADS AT A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The paper examines the potential of using physical Olympiads in technical universities in order to train high-level specialists. Modern graduates should be ready for systematic, continuous improvement throughout their professional activities. To achieve this goal, a wider introduction of the Olympiad movement into the educational process can be used. The article analyzes views of researchers and suggests a new approach to the Olympiad movement that allows for the development of an individual educational trajectory of a student, the formation of professionally-oriented motivation for learning activities, the development of systemic thinking, self-realization and self-development in the learning process, and the pedagogical process taking place within the framework of the Olympiad movement, as its specific form, including education, training, development.
