Features of the implementation of the practical application of science education in the content of courses selected by a institutions of basic secondary education

Abstract

The article analyzes the current state of the implementation of the practical application of school science education in the content of optional courses on the example of teaching physics in institutions of basic secondary education. It was found that the key aspect of the practical application of modern school education is the orientation of its content, methods, forms and means of learning on the application of knowledge in engineering and technology, scientific research and professional activity of a person. It was concluded that strengthening the practical application of physics is an important didactic condition for the formation of competences. It has been established that an important tool for implementing of the practical application of the content of elective courses in physics is practice-oriented tasks, as a rule, of interdisciplinary content, the solution of which contributes to the thorough assimilation of knowledge of the natural world, skills and abilities, awareness of the practical significance of scientific theories and their impact on development of equipment and technologies. Completing tasks of a practical application contributes to both the formation of subject competence in physics and key competence in the field of natural sciences, engineering and technology.
