METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO IN-DEPTH STUDY OF THE CONCEPTUAL POSITIONS OF THERMODYNAMICS
The article proposes a methodological solution for an in-depth study of the fundamental provisions of thermodynamics in the framework of a propaedeutic course in physics. The peculiarity of the presentation is determined by the study of physics in the framework of pre-university training and is designed to solve the problem of successive links between the university and the secondary school. In addition, the proposed approach acts as a motivating factor for the study of physical theories, leading in the future to a reduction in the adaptation period when studying at a university or example, the demonstration of the application of the basic principles of thermodynamics in the operation of heat engines and electrical installations generates interest in engineering education. The article presents the goal, methods and results of a pedagogical study of the influence of the proposed content on the quality of knowledge, the completeness of mastering the conceptual provisions of thermodynamics. To study the reliability of the conclusions about the effectiveness of the proposed content, empirical research methods were used: surveys that diagnose test papers, electronic testing in the Educon educational process support system. For the classes of the physical and mathematical profile, an in-depth study of physics was assumed, which leads to the need for a high scientific presentation of educational material, in particular, the conceptual provisions of thermodynamics. The results of the pedagogical experiment can be used by school teachers, teachers of secondary vocational institutions in teaching physics, as well as university teachers in the implementation of career guidance projects.
