We suggest an approach for overcoming of crisis in the physics teaching based on modern results of theoretical-physics research in the area of quantum-thermal phenomena.
We ground an idea of interdisciplinary integration for chapters of General physics course on the base of criteria that allow us to locate the position of physical theories in the general system of physical knowledge.

In this paper author propose the introduction the principle of least action and Lagrange’s formalism into the course of general physics in technical universities. Writing this paper was caused by necessity of modification course of general physics that teaching in technical universities. Moreover I suppose that studying Lagrange’s formalism must prepare students to understand special subjects of their future engineer professions and get habit in solving difficult engineer problems. That job carried out on department of general and experimental physics in National Technical University «Kharkov Polytechnic Institute».

This paper describes the results of research the purpose of which was to establish how solving dispersed data problems can affect learning efficiency in physics. The authors of this article created a new methodology of solving problems based on classical problem solving but demanding more independence and analytical thinking from students. A new type of problem has been offered for solving: so-called dispersed data problems with superfluous data. The efficiency of learning physics by solving this new type of problems was under research.
