Abstract:
The article is devoted to the development of methods for conducting independent work of students in the
conditions of credit technology of education. The main idea is the need to change the accent position – first
the IWS, then the IWST using the example of a specific section of molecular physics: «Transport». Transport
phenomena are experimental justification and confirmation of the fundamentals of molecular-kinetic theory.
This section is practically not considered in the school course of physics because of its complexity, but with
careful study of the material, it can be given in classes with a physical and mathematical bias. The article selected
and analyzed the problems of increased complexity, which students of secondary schools offer no
sense, since they are very complex in physical essence and require a mathematical apparatus at the level of at
least differential equations. The students were offered two laboratory works - one contact, which is classical
and does not need special comments, and one is virtual with the expectation that they can be used both in university
and in school. Assignments on the topic within the framework of the IWS with different number of
answers were selected and tested, and questions requiring careful study by students using literary sources.
The results of the physical dictation, colloquium, testing in the system of EVEA, control work were carried
out and analyzed. The proposed system of organizing the IWS and IWST for many years was developed in
the educational process for general courses of physics and special courses of the appropriate profile, during
the performance of the theses, during pedagogical practices, was presented in reports at conferences.
