Scientific and educational experiment in the engineering training of students in the bachelor’s degree program in energy production

Abstract

© BEIESP. In the paper, the experience of the teachers of the Department of Physics, working with the students of the Yelabuga Institute of the Kazan (Volga) Federal University of Russia and organizing educational and scientific experimental activity in the engineering training of students in the Bachelor’s degree program in energy production for the system of institutions of secondary, secondary special and additional education of the Republic of Tatarstan, is presented and analyzed. The research on the wide introduction into the educational process of automated research experiments was conducted on the basis of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in 2016-2018. Altogether 112 students, future holders of the Bachelor’s degree in energy production, participated in the study. The students themselves participated in the designing, manufacturing, and upgrading of the experimental equipment. In the process of research, both theoretical and empirical methods were used: analysis of regulatory and program documents, scientific and educational literature on the problem under study, realization of research projects in the field of physics and energy production, as well as the introduction of innovative and digital technologies in the preparation and realization of educational experiments. A conclusion is made that the approach under study fosters an increase in the interest in the subject, intensification of the training process, individualization of its character, improvement of the quality of mastering the educational material.
