THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS' HEURISTIC ACTIVITY USING TEACHING METHODS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

This article discusses the main task of a future physics teacher in heuristic teaching, which is the student's creative self-awareness. This is usually implemented as follows. The student takes materials for construction, but is not provided with ready-made knowledge about it. They create a product of activity (hypothesis, model, craftsmanship), and then compare it with the knowledge of natural sciences in that field with the help of the teacher. As a result, the student revisits the outcome of their activity, leading to personal growth (emotions, knowledge, abilities, and experiences change). When students are involved in the general educational process, the result of their activities may be immersion in the subject they are studying.
