have a low level of general educational abilities, skills and methods of activity (competencies),
there is no sustained interest in educational subjects, their memory is not developed enough, so
the need for using various methods increases contributing to the solution of these problems.
Mnemonics is a set of techniques and methods that facilitate memorization and increase
memory through the formation of artificial associations [5].
The words "mnemotechniques" and "mnemonics" come from the Greek "mnemonikon" -
the art of memorization, by the name of the ancient Greek goddess in memory of Mnemosyne -
the mother of nine muses.
The subject “Physics” in institutions of general secondary education is considered to be
one of the most complex subjects, requiring the ability to think logically, to have good memory
and attention. In this regard, the interest of students in the study of the subject is quickly lost.
In
this situation, I consider that the use of non-traditional forms of training based on
mnemonics is a real salvation, which allows you to activate students' cognitive interest, develop
educational motivation, and sometimes even allow them to give way to their accumulated
energy, sending it into a “peaceful” direction.
One of these forms of work, according to V. I.
Kozarenko, is the use of mnemonics methods in physics lessons [5].
The principles of mnemonics are based on:
1) the replacement of abstract concepts into the concepts that have a figurative
representation (for example, visual or auditory);
2) establishing links with information in memory.
For high-quality memorization of information, it is important to use various types of
memory: visual, auditory, motor, etc. For a more durable assimilation of the material under the
study, it is necessary to use as many types of memory as possible. In this case, independent paths
to this information are formed in the brain [3].
The Triangle of formulas.
The triangle of formulas is represented by the two levels: the upper (1 part of the triangle)
and the lower (2 parts of the triangle), in each of which is placed, in accordance with the
formula, a physical quantity.
The algorithm for working with the triangle of formulas:
1. To find the physical quantity located in the upper level of the triangle, it is necessary to
multiply the lower quantities.
2. To find the physical quantity from the lower level of the triangle, you need a physical
value from the upper level divide by a physical value of the lower level.
For example, the triangle to the subject "Ohm's law for the chain section" (Fig. 1):
Figure 1 - Ohm's
law for a chain section
In the lesson on the topic of Ohm’s Law for the chain section, I offer students a practice-
oriented task, the solution of which is based on the use of this type of mnemonics: “In the Young
Investigator school circle, the third-grader Dima calculated the number of light bulbs in a
Christmas garland connected in a chain. It is known that one small bulb is designed for a current
of I = 0.25 A and has a resistance of R = 10 Ohm. The voltage at which such a garland is turned
on is 220 V. How many bulbs did Dima get?”
