Modern Methods of Teaching Physics: From Traditional Approaches to Digital Technologies

Abstract

This scientific article provides a thorough analysis of the main methodological directions influencing the formation and development of modern physics education, particularly focusing on the transition from traditional teaching methods to innovative methodologies based on digital technologies. Due to its nature, physics requires the reinforcement of theoretical knowledge through practical observation and experimentation, which necessitates continuous methodological updates and the introduction of technological tools in education.

From this perspective, the article scientifically explores the role of digital technologies—such as interactive simulations, virtual laboratories, AI-based learning programs, and remote education platforms—in shaping students’ scientific thinking, developing practical skills, and enhancing the culture of independent reasoning.

Additionally, the formation of teachers’ digital pedagogical competencies, the didactic selection of modern technologies, and their application tailored to students’ individual needs are regarded as integral parts of modern methodological approaches. The article also analyzes existing pedagogical problems, including lack of technical infrastructure, teachers’ digital literacy levels, and factors contributing to students’ passive participation, proposing practical suggestions and solutions to overcome these issues. Overall, the article aims to analyze the current methodological transformation processes relevant to modern physics education, demonstrate effective ways to integrate digital technologies into the learning process, and substantiate scientific-theoretical and practical approaches to improving teaching quality.
