Component: University component

Cycle: Base disciplines

Goal
  • The objectives of the discipline are to form a holistic system of views on the structure of the surrounding world, using known experimental facts and theoretical views, to form a scientific method of thinking, to demonstrate the leading role of physics in the process of cognition of the world, to show the universality of physical laws and their justice in living and inanimate nature.
Objective
  • Give the basics of knowledge on the sections of this course necessary for use in subsequent special courses, or for independent research activities.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • Students ' assimilation of the basic physical phenomena and laws in the section of physics electricity and magnetism and methods of physical research.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • Familiarization of students with measuring equipment, development of the ability to conduct experimental research, process the results of the experiment and analyze them.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • Formation of students ' scientific thinking and dialectical worldview, correct understanding of the limits of applicability of various physical concepts, laws, theories, and the ability to assess the degree of reliability of results obtained using experimental or mathematical research methods.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • Be able to organize their work, evaluate the results of their activities with a high degree of independence, possess the skills of independent work; be able to apply basic knowledge in professional activities; possess theory and practical work skills; analyze the results obtained, draw the necessary conclusions and formulate proposals; present the results obtained in research in the form of reports
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • Solving qualitative and quantitative physical problems, analyzing and finding methods for solving physical problems, developing the ability and interest in independent thinking and creative activity.
Teaching methods

When conducting training sessions, the following educational technologies are provided for:: - interactive lecture (using the following active forms of learning: executive (guided) discussion or conversation; modernization; demonstration of slides or educational films; brainstorming; motivational speech); - building scenarios for the development of various situations based on the specified conditions; - information and communication (for example, classes in a computer class using professional application software packages); - search and research (independent research activity of students in the educational process); - solving educational tasks.
