IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERSUBJECT CONNECTIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES AND NATURAL DISCIPLINES USING 3D MODELING

Abstract

Based on theoretical and empirical studies, it was determined that the integration of learning technologies and natural sciences has a number of important advantages, supports a balanced and purposeful approach to the educational process. It was established that the implementation of intersubject connections in these subjects contributes to: the organization of more realistic and practical education; development of students' critical thinking; expanding knowledge in several areas; stimulating interest in learning. The article focuses on 3D modeling in the process of manufacturing physical (astronomical) devices during the design activity of students in technology classes (educational module "Computer Design"). An example of students' implementation of the creative project "Computer design of a sundial" is given. The following sequence of stages of project activity is proposed: definition of the topic and tasks of the project; analysis of the design object; information search; relevant for the project; selection of an automated design system; 3D modeling; 3D printing; product testing; project presentation; conclusion. It has been established that, in addition to modeling and manufacturing of physical (astronomical) devices, it is also advisable to use other options for the integration of technologies and physics: visualization and research of physical phenomena (motion, forces, electromagnetism, and others); creating 3D models of objects that allow students to study and experiment with physical laws; creation and improvement of technical devices or mechanisms that could be studied within both disciplines; creation and analysis of electrical circuits, study of the main components of electrical circuits, connections and interactions between them; creation of simulations of thermal processes, such as heat transfer or expansion of substances: observation and analysis of thermal phenomena in a virtual environment. Prospects for further work consist in the development of methodological recommendations for the creation of 3D models of the planets of the solar system and other astronomical objects, to illustrate the physical laws that operate in space.
