The dissertation for the first time examines the forming of the experimental component of professional competence of future Physics and Nature Sciences teachers, that include applicants for higher education in the specialties 014 Secondary Education (Physics), 014 Secondary Education (Chemistry) and 014 Secondary Education (Natural Sciences).
It is defined the experimental component of the future teacher's professional competence as a coherent, systemic entity, which includes relevant, mental and practical skills, acmeological invariants, social purposes, and the knowledge in the field of educational experiment, that is the product of persistent and determined cognitive learning activities. It is established that the main components of the experimental part of professional competence are: experimental knowledge; experimental skills; experimental abilities; professional attitude; individual psychological person`s features; acmeological invariants.
For the first time it is offered and theoretically sustained approaches to a combination of innovative and traditional didactic methods throughout the preparation and accomplishment of lab works in educational process in Physics; methods of organizing laboratory workshop in Physics at the Pedagogical University. It is analyzed and selected among the total mass of cloud services, web-applications, virtual learning environments that are available to the user on the Internet. The services that effectively influence on the formation of the experimental component of students' professional competence are cloud-based services Web 2.0 LearningApps, EDpuzzindMind, Mind; virtual laboratories - sites all-fizika.com, virtulab.net, sunspire.ru, sites.google.com and mobile application "Physics at school LITE". Basing on those services, we have developed modern teaching aids for organizing a number of laboratory works in Physics.
It is developed methodical recommendations due to advancement of the experimental component of professional competence of future Physics and Nature Sciences teachers, based on a combination of classical and virtual experiment using didactic tools based on cloud services to study courses "Experimental Physics" and "General Physics".
For the first time, the structure and content of the educational set "Natural Sciences in Pedagogical Universities: Laboratory Experiment in Physics in a Cloud-based Environment" are developed and offered, which combine traditional and virtual experiment, laboratory work and teaching aids using cloud-based technologies. The set is implemented as a web site in the Google environment.
The aim of the educational and methodical set is to help students in organizing independent activities in the fulfilling physical workshops, preparation and conducting laboratory work in Physics by increasing the self-educational activities of students at each stage (self-preparation, experiment, reflection). The set contains training programs; methodical recommendations of designing and mathematical processing of the experimental results; the thesis shows the modernized and expanded instructions of laboratory work in courses of experimental and general Physics basing on the integration of classical and virtual experiment, means of cloud services. Here are given tasks of online testing of checking and self-checking the readiness of the student`s level to accomplish laboratory work.
The thesis offers experimental testing of the effectiveness of the given methodological fundament in the forming of the experimental component of the professional competence of future teachers using didactic tools, developed on the base of cloud-based technologies, confirming the effectiveness of their use.
The pedagogical experiment has confirmed the theory of introducing the developed method of using of integrated pattern of classical and virtual physical experiment on the basis of cloud services, virtual laboratory works, simulators, flash animations. It has been increased the level of educational achievements of future Physics and Science (knowledge component) teachers in the amount of skills of the experimental component of professional competence and the level of their readiness to experimental activities during the learning process in the curricular and extracurricular activities.
