Revolutionizing Physics Education, ASU Rector Dr. Daud Mamiy Shares Insights at the All-Russian Congress of Physics and Computer Science Teachers
The All-Russian Congress of Physics and Computer Science Teachers is taking place on the federal territory of Sirius from August 25 to 28. This premier event has attracted a record number of participants, with over 600 teachers in attendance and thousands more joining the online events. One of the congress's primary focuses was the vital topic of popularizing physics among schoolchildren. The esteemed Rector of ASU Dr.Daud Mamiy, delivered a keynote speech at the plenary session of the All-Russian Congress of Physics Teachers, titled "Popularization of Physics: Moving Forward," sharing his insights on the importance of this initiative.
The opening of the event was marked by a distinguished gathering of high-ranking officials, including Sergei Kiriyenko, the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation. Also in attendance were Andrei Fursenko, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation, and Elena Shmeleva, Chairperson of the Council of the Federal Territory "Sirius". The Head of the Administration of the Federal Territory "Sirius", Dmitry Plishkin, was also present, alongside Dmitry Livanov, Rector of the esteemed Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. The event was honored by the presence of these esteemed individuals and others.
The congress program is designed specifically for educators of physics and computer science at general education institutions and centers of additional education, as well as instructors at regional centers tasked with identifying, supporting, and developing the abilities and talents of children and young people. University professors who provide training for teachers in these subjects are also invited to participate. Additionally, representatives from education authorities, heads of general education organizations, academics from various fields, and business leaders will be in attendance.
During the congress, participants will engage in lively discussions about the most pressing issues in education related to computer science and physics, including federal state standards and programs, final certification procedures, the digitalization of the educational process, teaching methods, Olympiads in these disciplines, and many other topics.At the plenary session "Physics for All", the rector of Adyghe State University, Dr. Daud Mamiy, presented the university's extensive experience in popularizing physics and mathematics. Over the years, ASU has developed a comprehensive system for identifying and supporting gifted children, organizing events to promote science, and implementing large-scale projects to make science accessible to all. The presentation highlighted the achievements of the first year of the federal project "Physics for All", which ASU has been actively involved in, as well as the initial results of the project "Science Around", which is being implemented with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.
The project "Physics for All" has seen significant success, with over 240 teachers from the Southern regions of Russia and 156 teachers from the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic participating in online training at Adyghe State University. Moreover, more than 1,000 schoolchildren have undergone online training at the university, developing their skills and preparing for the OGE and Unified State Exam in physics. ASU has specifically designed online courses to equip schoolchildren with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle complex exam problems using modern methods.
After each online lesson, students were tasked with completing homework assignments, which were then analyzed to reinforce the material. The project also provided training for teachers in planning and conducting physics lessons, improving their competencies in Olympiad movements, creating a digital platform for exchanging best practices, and working with students of varying skill levels.
As the rector emphasized, the key to successful popularization lies in fostering a holistic approach that seamlessly integrates science with various disciplines, including art, social projects, physical education, and sports. By embracing this interdisciplinary approach, we can create a more comprehensive and engaging experience that resonates with a wider audience. The full speech can be viewed at the link . provided.
