Abstract:
An important component of the professional development of a modern engineer at a technical university is the knowledge of fundamental disciplines, physics in particular. While studying this subject, students acquire the basic knowledge that are necessary for mastering their professional competence and at the same time they form a special way of engineering thinking. Unfortunately, the first-year students lack basic knowledge and skills on physics, especially in solv-ing physical problems and tasks. This leads to having vital complications while learning the course of physics according to the syllabus of a technical university. Some students realize it and try to eliminate the defects of the previous stage of their education by their own. The goal of this article is to describe the adaptive course of physics for the students of the technical university. The course was constructed to study un-der the flipped classroom model of the blended learning. The developed teaching materials include brief theoretical information, methodological instructions how to solve the problems and the examples, as well as tests on each theme to monitor students’ level of knowledge. The materials are hosted in the LMS Moodle. The approbation of the teaching materials and offered methodology were carried out among a number of the first-year students. The usage of the developed materials showed rising in student activity in the classroom in solving the prob-lems and according to the results of the summing-up tests most students have made up for their deficiency in this subject.
