Network interaction between school and university
The article discusses the experience of the network of vertical interaction of the Department of Physics of the USTU with the schools of Ukhta in solving problems of identifying and eliminating gaps in knowledge among applicants and first-year students, considering socio-economic problems in the country. The average scores of the Unified State Exam in physics for applicants enrolled in USTU in 2018 in different training profiles and the results of entrance testing for first-year students are given in comparison. On the basis of a statistical analysis of the results of input testing, it is proposed to evaluate the real preparedness of first-year students for the study of specialized disciplines, as well as the prospects for their study at the university. The authors offer some options for cooperation in popularizing physics and motivating 10th and 11th grade students for the Unified State Exam in physics and in-depth study of natural science disciplines, reading popular lectures on rapidly developing sections of modern science, solving complex and challenging physics problems. For vocational guidance of oil and gas and other areas and specialties of the university, it is proposed to conduct excursions in educational and scientific laboratories, performing laboratory studies in physics under the guidance of teachers of the department.
