REVIEW:
The article “Enhancing the Research Competencies of Future Physics Teachers through Solving Olympiad Problems” by Zulkarshyn P., Skakov M.K., and Nurizinova M.M. is devoted to a highly relevant topic in modern teacher education. The authors focus on the development of research competencies among future physics teachers through the systematic use of Olympiad tasks in the educational process.
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of how Olympiad problems can be used not only to strengthen theoretical knowledge but also to develop critical thinking, creativity, and research skills. The authors effectively identify existing challenges — such as the lack of methodological support, limited time in curricula, and insufficient teacher training — and offer practical recommendations to address these gaps.
A significant contribution of this work is its empirical research, which includes a survey among students, undergraduates, doctoral candidates, and school teachers. The analysis of the survey results clearly demonstrates both the advantages and shortcomings of integrating Olympiad tasks into teacher training programs. Based on the findings, the authors propose methodological improvements and steps for implementing Olympiad tasks in university education.
The article is well-structured, logically organized, and written in clear scientific language. The conclusions are supported by data and relevant literature, making the study both theoretical and practical in value.
In conclusion, this paper makes an important contribution to improving the quality of teacher education in physics. It presents practical approaches that can help future teachers develop strong research competencies and inspire their students to engage in scientific inquiry. The work is timely, meaningful, and deserves a high academic evaluation.
