SELECTION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONTENT OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS OF SCHOOL NATURAL EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN LEADING EDUCATIONAL PARADIGMS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF STUDYING THE BASES OF THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY AT SCHOOL)

A brief overview of the results of theoretical and experimental research on the selection and structuring of educational materials in the context of the ideas of humanization and fundamentalization of the content of school science is presented including physical education. The paper shows that when constructing the content of such educational materials, it is necessary to present them in the context of historical development and formation of relevant knowledge, and the proposed content structures provided not only scientific and integrity content of school science education but also the development of the personality of a school-age child.The specific task of this article is to substantiate the new content of teaching the basics of the special theory of relativity in general secondary education and in the methodological system of training future physics teachers. The results obtained in the process of theoretical and experimental research can be used by students of general secondary and higher pedagogical education, graduate students, teachers and methodologists. Keywords: natural education; personality-oriented content of education; critical thinking; study of the basics of special relativity; expected (predicted) learning outcomes.
