USING THE CAPABILITIES OF SMARTPHONES IN PHYSICS EDUCATION

Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of using smartphones in the educational process of physics. Various smartphone applications and functions that can be used for conducting experiments, visualizing phenomena, accessing educational materials, and interactive interaction are discussed. The purpose of the article is to show how modern technology can improve understanding of physical concepts, increase student engagement, and make learning more effective and exciting. The study analyzes the equipment of modern smartphones with sensors and the possibilities of using these sensors to measure physical quantities. The available mobile applications used for measuring physical quantities are studied, as well as the experience of using smartphones as measuring systems in school practice. Practical tasks for schoolchildren aimed at integrating smartphones into the educational process in physics have been developed and proposed. An experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of using smartphones in education, the results of which confirm the improvement of academic achievements of schoolchildren. The significance of this study is that it demonstrated the possibilities of using smartphones in teaching physics as a tool for conducting experiments, measurements and research both in the classroom and outside of school without special equipment, as well as for monitoring students' knowledge, receiving instant feedback, and gaining access to additional educational materials. The study shows that the use of smartphones can become an effective tool in teaching physics, helping to increase students' interest and involvement in the educational process and developing research and independent work skills.
