Modern Approach to Physical Modeling in the Course of the Theoretical Physics for Pedagogical University

Modeling process is the methodic foundation for any course of theoretical physics. Here we present so-called semiotic approach to the modeling process in the course of theoretical physics for pedagogical university. In the case of theoretical physics this approach means application of the "family" of special languages to formalize a physical model. These languages are: the "natural" verbal languages (Russian, English) in their professional form, mathematics, and the internal languages of computer modeling. We discuss how to construct an appropriate "meta-language" of modeling for the purposes of the education at pedagogical university.

The brief review of the place and role of thermodynamics in the modern course of physics in high-school education is given. It is shown that there are many possibilities for much more effective use of this field of physics in scientific and methodological purposes. The problems of thermodynamics as non-classical field of physics and some ways their solution are discussed.

The Potential Discovered by F.A. Neuman

It is strange, that the vector and scalar potentials, which were actively and successfully used for the description of electromagnetic phenomena (before the Maxwell theory was recognized) were claimed as "unphysical". This was unjustified even in 19-th century, but survived until now. The role of potentials in the relativity theory, the refuse of the force description in quantum theory and the unified dynamical theory of fundamental interactions makes it necessary to reformulate the wrong traditions, which were formed in the teaching of classical physics.

The Educational Environment as Means of Improving Physics Learning Efficiency in High School

The problems of introducing of the competency approach as one of the basic elements of modern IT on the experience of the teaching physics course in the ordinary and high school is discussed. Some experimental data, obtained during the varieties study of physics, are also considered.

Improvement in the Quality of Physics Education is the Main Objective of Contemporary School
Shiyan N.V.
Murmansk State Pedagogical University
Nowadays there is a great demand for specialists with professional education in physics. High quality of education in physics is the basis of pupils' future success. The effectiveness of physics education depends on development of pupils' mental abilities, thoroughness of their knowledge, highly-qualified teachers and technical support of educational process. The present article deals with reasons for modernizing education in physics and ways of improving its quality.
