EXPERIMENTAL WORK TO PREPARE FUTURE PHYSICS TEACHERS FOR THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ SCIENTIFIC WORLDVIEW

Abstract

The proposed work is relevant due to the high interest of applicants for pedagogical majors in natural sciences in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The research aims to train teaching staff competent to formulate the scientific worldview of students; in turn, the scientific worldview is based on empirical and theoretical knowledge about the world as a whole and consists of the most fundamental laws and principles of nature. The following methods were utilized during the study: theoretical (synthesis, classification, generalization, deduction, induction, analogy, and modeling); empirical (observation, survey, questionnaire, and interview); experimental (stating, developmental, and diagnostic experiment); and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the study results. In the course of the study, a qualitatively new methodological system was developed to prepare future physics teachers to form students’ scientific worldviews and reflect the results of the pedagogical experiment. We propose our model for preparing future physics teachers to shape the worldview of students in the process of integrated teaching of physics, as well as an original course that we have developed on determining effective forms, methods, and means in teaching physics. As a result of the research, it was determined that the most important components of the organization of the main activity in shaping the worldview of students are the development and use of educational and methodological enhancement, as well as solving problems of integration in the teaching of physics.
