USE OF DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING PHYSICS

Abstract

The modern education system is undergoing fundamental changes in the process of digitalization. Technological progress requires the transformation of pedagogical approaches, particularly the modernization of teaching methods for complex subjects such as physics. The main objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using digital educational resources, specifically the PhET Interactive Simulations platform, in the process of teaching physics. The key research directions include studying the impact of digital technologies on the learning process, identifying the role of interactive simulations in teaching the "Electricity and Magnetism" section, and evaluating the effect of virtual laboratory work on students' knowledge levels. The scientific and practical significance of the study lies in proposing strategies for the effective use of digital educational resources in physics teaching. The research demonstrates the great potential of interactive technologies in developing students' cognitive abilities. The research methodology is based on a comparative analysis of experimental and control groups, surveys, and an assessment of students' academic performance. The study was conducted among students. The research results indicate a significant improvement in theoretical understanding due to the use of the PhET Interactive Simulations platform, frequent use of the platform by most students, and a substantial increase in preparedness for real laboratory work when performing virtual experiments.

The ultimate conclusion of the study is that digital educational resources make the learning process more interactive, visual, and efficient. The platform enables students to gain a deeper understanding of physical processes, conduct virtual experiments, and apply acquired knowledge in practice. The practical significance of this study lies in the fact that the proposed approaches and findings can help physics teachers effectively integrate digital technologies into the educational process, thereby enhancing the quality of education.
