METHODS OF DEVELOPING COMPETENCES THROUGH REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS IN PHYSICS LESSONS

Abstract

This article analyzes the theoretical foundations and practical methodology of an approach aimed at developing competencies through real-life situations in physics lessons. Within the framework of a competency-based approach, students should develop the ability to apply their acquired knowledge to solve real-life problems, think independently, approach tasks creatively, work in teams, and adapt to problematic situations. Since the nature of physics is directly connected to technological, natural, and social processes in life, designing lessons based on real-life examples, problem-based tasks, and STEM elements becomes an effective means of developing students' practical competencies. The article highlights the scientific foundations of these approaches based on the theories of scholars such as Vygotsky, Dewey, and Jonassen, and analyzes the methods used in pedagogical practice, the results, and the assessment criteria.
