ENHANCING THE DIDACTIC EFFECTIVENESS OF TEACHING PHYSICS BASED ON PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
Keywords:
Problem-based learning technologies, general education school, physics teachingAbstract
This thesis addresses the theoretical and methodological foundations for increasing the effectiveness of teaching physics in general education schools through problem-based learning (PBL) technologies. Based on an analysis of recent international scientific studies, it substantiates the potential of this technology to develop higher-order thinking, critical thinking, and student motivation. Furthermore, the author presents the experimental research design, methodological developments, and assessment tools conducted within the study. This research serves as a practical basis for enhancing the didactic effectiveness of PBL methodologies in teaching physics in general education schools.
