Using 3D Modeling to Develop Schoolchildren's Research Skills in the Process of Studying Natural Science Disciplines

Abstract

3D modeling and prototyping are important areas of digital education and have undoubted didactic potential for the development of engineering thinking, that is highly sought after in today's economy. The authors suggest using 3D modeling technology to develop the research skills of schoolchildren when studying natural sciences and implementing interdisciplinary projects aimed at forming the foundations of a holistic scientific picture of the world through understanding the relationship and interdependence of the natural sciences. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and develop approaches to the development of schoolchildren's research skills when studying natural science disciplines based on 3D modeling.
