Physics teaching in a technical college using complex case-technology

The paper describes a complex case-technology for teaching physics in technical colleges. The technology development is determined by the requirements to the future engineers’ training level and by the need to develop their professional competencies. To provide the necessary level of the education outcomes the practice-oriented and situational approaches of teaching physics should be introduced into the educational process. The purpose of the article is to provide the rationale and to describe the education model of the physics teaching process based on the complex case-technology. To achieve the aim the analysis of the literature was made. The concept of an “integrated case-technology” was clarified. The analysis of legislative and regulatory documents in the field of higher education was made and the model was created. The application of the complex case-based technology in practice-oriented physics was proved effective. The stages of the technology were identified. The complex case-based technology in physics teaching at a technical college incorporates the idea of unity of fundamental and applied knowledge. The complex case-technology can be used in higher school to train future engineers.
