Staged Development of Students’ Scientific Process Skills in Physics within an Information Educational Environment
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This study examines the pedagogical potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) for developing students’ scientific process skills in physics. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify digital tools that support experimental activity and data analysis. The review results made it possible to determine key ways in which ICT contributes to the formation of scientific process skills. Based on these findings, a model for the gradual integration of ICT into physics laboratory work was designed and implemented. The model was applied over three academic years (2021–2023) in grades 7–9. At each stage, students used digital tools with increasing complexity, moving from basic data processing to data analysis and computational modeling. To evaluate the development of scientific process skills, a self-evaluation survey based on reflective assessment was used. This approach allowed students to analyze their own experimental actions, data interpretation, and problem-solving strategies. The results of the pedagogical experiment indicate a positive effect of the proposed model on the development of students’ scientific process skills. The findings confirm the effectiveness of a staged ICT integration in physics education and highlight the role of reflection in skill development. Further research may focus on adapting the proposed model and instructional support materials for other natural science subjects within an information educational environment.
