Shulga S. Development of Cognitive Activity of Students in Quantum Physics by Computer-Oriented Learning Tools

The methodical system of development of cognitive activity of students in quantum physics has been developed in the dissertation on the basis of the implementation of a physical practicum with the use of computer-oriented learning tools in a multicomponent educational environment during the study of general physics course at pedagogical universities preparing future physics teachers. On the basis of the performed scientific and theoretical analysis of the research problem, fundamental principles have been grounded and on their basis an author’s system of development of cognitive activity of students has been created; It’s been shown that the introduction of ICT tools in the course of experimental research developed cognitive activity of students and promoted their self-development, self-improvement and construction of own trajectory of educational achievements. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the methodical system of development of the cognitive activity, a computer-oriented learning tool “Quantum Physics” has been developed, that provided a gradual preparation of the completion of the experimental study in the course of the work of the practicum from the section “Quantum Physics” and simultaneously improved the methodology of the implementation of the physical practicum and formed personal qualities of a proficient physics teacher. The effectiveness of the method of development of cognitive activity of students and the methodology of the physical practicum on quantum physics with the use of computer-oriented learning tools in the multicomponent learning environment has been experimentally verified and confirmed. The results have been implemented into the educational process of institutions of higher education.
