Abstract: The main educational goal of each teacher is to improve the quality of students’ knowledge. The use of information technologies is a way to achieve it. Computer modeling of physical objects, processes and phenomena is one of the most promising areas of application of these technologies in teaching physics. The psychological, didactic and methodological aspects of the implementation of compter modeling in physics education are presented. The psychological aspect reflects the teacher-student-computer relationship. They suggest a flexible approach in the educational activities of enhancing cognitive interest and development of mental activity of students.Didactic aspects are connected with obtaining qualitatively new learning outcomes. These are: the formation of long-lasting and profound knowledge, the development of the skills for application of theoretical knowledge, the formation of research skills, graphic skills, skills with specific computer programs, the development of students’ creative thinking. The article discusses different types of physics lessons with compter models: lesson of new knowledge, research lesson, computer laboratory work. The idea of using the program “Mathematica” in physics education is presented. Our focus is the graphical presentation of physical laws. Methodical recommendations for the successful carrying out of lessons are also given. We also consider the compilation of tasks of varying complexity for computer models.
