MODERN METHODS FOR MEASURING THE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY OF SOLID MATERIALS: IMPROVING ACCURACY AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

This research explores modern approaches to measuring the specific heat capacity of solid materials in physics education. Traditional methods, such as calorimetry, often suffer from human error and low accuracy. The study examines how infrared thermography (IRT), AI-assisted data analysis, and digital sensors improve the precision and efficiency of experimental procedures. The results indicate that these advanced tools significantly reduce errors, enhance real-time data processing, and increase student engagement. The study concludes that integrating artificial intelligence and non-contact measurement techniques in physics laboratories can greatly enhance learning outcomes.
