PHYSICAL MODELING AND FORMATION OF RESEARCH SKILLS OF STUDENTS

Abstract

The article discusses issues related to training future engineers for research activities, to development of professional competencies that contribute to the formation of scientific thinking in students when solving quality problems in a physics course. The relationship between the experiment and the educational and research activities of students has been determined, and their importance for the preparation of future engineers to solve professional problems defined by the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education. The stages of constructing a physical model of the phenomenon as stages of a scientific experiment are considered, and examples of tasks of a research orientation are given, which can be included in the program of practical and laboratory classes in physics at a university. The application of the Matlab software package in a laboratory practice for visualization of research results is substantiated. The material presented in the article is a generalization of the experience of solving problems of applied materials science in a physics course for the formation of professional competencies of students of the Military Space Academy named after A.F. Mozhaisky.
