Formation of technical competencies in future electrical power engineers through professionally oriented physics education: a practice-based approach

A study conducted at Almaty University of Power Engineering and Telecommunications explored the effectiveness of professionally oriented physics education in developing technical competencies among future electrical power engineers. The research, using a quasi-experimental design with an experimental and control group, found that an enriched physics curriculum, incorporating professionally oriented problems and engineering interpretation tasks, significantly impacted student competency development compared to traditional instruction.

This research provides evidence that tailoring foundational education to professional contexts can enhance the practical skills and technical competencies of future professionals. This is critical for ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of their respective industries, thereby improving workforce readiness and overall sector productivity.

Professionally oriented physics education positively influences the development of technical competencies in future electrical power engineers.
