THE USE OF STUDENTS' CREATIVE PROJECTS IN TEACHING PHYSICS
Project activities of students are an indispensable element of the educational process in Physics. At the same time, as pedagogical practice shows, the educational projects of students in some cases are not much different from traditional essays. In this regard, the author draws attention to the expediency for students to implement creative projects, as a result of which an original product appears, i.e. a technical device or a method (technology) for achieving a positive effect. A particular attention is paid to developing the ability to see problems and formulate project topics. The author relies on his own scientific research and 22 years of experience in holding the All-Ukrainian open tournaments of young inventors (the initiator of its establishment and the chairman of the jury).
