Preparation of future physics teachers for the creation and use of mobile applications in physics lessons

Abstract

The article presents the results of research into the problems of implementing mobile
learning technology in institutions of general secondary education. Currently, the rapid development of mobile, cloud, and digital technologies in general, and artificial intelligence in particular, is evidence of the relevance of using mobile devices in the education system of Ukraine. It is common knowledge that change in education is usually slow, while technology advances at a rapid pace, outpacing educational innovation. For the successful implementation of mobile learning technology, which is rapidly changing due to the emergence of new technological developments in the field of mobile and touch technologies, the participants of the educational process should indirectly participate in the changes and promotion of digital technologies in education. This will greatly reduce the lagging of learning technologies from the development of digital technologies, and on the other hand, it will increase the effectiveness of methodical training systems focused on the formation of learners of end-to-end skills and relevant competencies. The presented study shows that one of the ways to implement the proposed approach is to prepare future teachers of physics and natural sciences for the development and implementation of mobile applications as a component of mobile learning technology in the methodical system of teaching physics and natural sciences.
The conducted research made it possible to draw the following conclusions. The development of mobile learning is developing due to the emergence of new cloud and mobile technologies, technologies of augmented reality and artificial intelligence, etc. One of the important directions of modernization of the methodical system of training future teachers of physics and natural sciences is the involvement of higher education students in the development and implementation of mobile applications in the educational process of general secondary education institutions.
To optimize the process of creating educational mobile applications, we suggest using the no-code (zerocode) approach, which involves programming without writing code. Special services (in the form of online designers) offer ready-made fragments from which you can assemble a mobile application. Creating software products based on no-code, as well as writing code, requires special training. Therefore, this should be considered in the methodical system of training future teachers of physics and natural sciences.
