ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT OF PHYSICAL EXPERIMENTS: FEATURES OF VR TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION

Today, it is important to organize and conduct physics experiments at a high modern level. Practices based on phenomena and laws from physics include not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills. However, the need for expensive equipment that requires time and safety measures when performing traditional laboratory work in the field of physics causes difficulties. It also limits the possibility for students to comprehensively study physical patterns during practice. The use of VR (virtual reality) technology in the organization and conduct of physical experiments will eliminate these problems and make asignificant contribution to achieving learning outcomes. VR technology creates conditions for students to conduct experiments without hazardous materials and complex equipment. This, in turn, makes the activities in the educational process more optimal and safe. In this sense, the main idea and purpose of this study is to determine the features of the use of VR technology in teaching physics, effectiveness in achieving learning outcomes. The study examined examples of teaching some complex physics topics and determined the impact of VR on the assimilation of the topic, the possibility of improving the learning outcomes of laboratory classes. In the course of implementing the research objective, research methods were used: meta-analysis, questionnaires, mathematical and statistical analysis, etc. The results of the study showed the methodological features of the use of VR technology in physical experiments and the effectiveness in improving learning outcomes with ease of mastering the topic. In addition, at the end of the pedagogical study, the students expressed a desire to increase their interest and motivation in learning using VR technology.
