IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY OF DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGICAL THINKING BASED ON METAREFLECTIVE TEACHING IN THE COURSE “PHYSICS OF CONDENSED MATTER”

Abstract

This article presents the theoretical and practical aspects of improving the methodology for developing technological thinking through metareflective teaching in the course “Physics of Condensed Matter.” The main goal of the study is to deepen students’ physical reasoning by fostering an educational environment that promotes independent analysis, reflection, and the generation of innovative solutions to technological problems. The essence of the metareflective approach and its role in enhancing cognitive activity in the learning process are discussed, along with the potential of reflective strategies for mastering complex concepts in condensed matter physics. The methodological system integrates reflective tasks, digital laboratories, problem-based scenarios, and elements of technological modeling. The results demonstrate that the metareflective approach significantly develops students’ analytical and creative thinking, research readiness, and technological reasoning. This methodology is recommended as an effective tool for modernizing physics education and fostering scientific-technical thinking and reflective self-awareness among students.
