DEVELOPING FUTURE PHYSICS TEACHERS’ COMMUNICATION SKILLS THROUGH E-LEARNING TOOLS

Abstract

The activity of a teacher is closely related to interpersonal communication. In this regard, communication skills occupy one of the leading roles in the activity of a teacher and are considered an important component of pedagogical skills.

The teacher’s interaction with students directly affects their interest in the subject, and as a result, their academic performance. Physics is no exception. Teaching physics requires not only high-level knowledge of the subject, but also oral and written skills, the ability to build relationships with subjects of the educational process, as well as developed empathy, which together can be attributed to the communicative skills of a physics teacher.

Currently, various methods and tools are used to form the communication skills of future teachers, but e-learning tools can be highlighted among them. These tools have a wide range of functionality, which makes them universal for use in the educational process.

This paper presents a model for the formation of future physics teachers’ communication skills through e-learning tools. The purpose of the article is to study the components of this model and its possible effects in teaching physics.

This study complements the research on the integration of technologies into education and allows understanding the potential advantages of e-learning tools in the formation of future physics teachers’ communication skills.
