Experience of creating videos as an independent work of students on the example of natural science disciplines

Abstract

. The article considers the possibilities of using information and communication technologies in
the educational process, which is one of the urgent problems of our time. The purpose of the article is to organize
independent work of students in natural sciences using information and communication technologies and
determine its effectiveness. Creating videos in group work is an excellent form of collaborative learning, but
the fact that they are little used in teaching basic scientific concepts at the undergraduate level determines
the relevance of the research topic. The authors point out that the organization of a video project in the form
of an independent work assignment for students, including preparatory, research, analytical, technical,
demonstration, reflexive stages, makes it possible to use it effectively, both in natural science classes and in
extracurricular time. The article provides the authors’ recommendations on the organization of each stage.
During the implementation of the video project, the ways of linking the actions of students with practical,
research enterprises are considered.
When discussing the advantages and disadvantages of a video assignment, the opinions of students are
taken into account. In the article, the authors draw conclusions that the video project method significantly
increases the efficiency of the educational process in natural sciences, allows students to improve their skills
in using innovative media technologies, forms professional competencies, including research.
