Within the framework of the International Scientific and Practical Conference held at our university, a roundtable discussion was organized on the topic: “Modern Issues in Physics Education in the Context of Developing Students’ Soft Skills: Research, Solutions, and Scientific Cooperation.”

The event brought together leading domestic and international scholars, professors, university lecturers, and young researchers. Participants comprehensively discussed one of the key priorities in modern education—the development of students’ soft skills.

The main objective of the roundtable was to analyze contemporary scientific approaches in physics education, exchange experiences, discuss effective teaching methods, and identify future directions for scientific and pedagogical collaboration.

During the discussion, participants emphasized that teaching physics should not be limited to theoretical knowledge alone. They highlighted the importance of developing students’ critical thinking, creativity, communication, teamwork, as well as research and engineering skills within the modern educational process.

As a primary issue, participants examined the актуal challenges of physics education in the context of fostering 21st-century skills. In this regard, discussions focused on updating educational content, improving teaching methodologies, and effectively integrating digital technologies into the learning process.

The next part of the discussion focused on modern approaches to developing students’ soft skills and practical ways to implement them. Participants shared real-life examples and emphasized the importance of introducing innovative pedagogical methods into the educational process.

One of the key topics of the roundtable was the establishment of a scientific community in the field of physics education. Participants supported the relevance of this initiative and discussed its main goals, objectives, structure, and future areas of activity.

As a result of the meeting, participants unanimously supported the proposal to establish a scientific and methodological community aimed at fostering experience exchange among researchers and educators in physics education, implementing joint scientific projects, and strengthening academic partnerships.

Overall, the roundtable became a meaningful platform for scientific dialogue and marked an important step toward modernizing the education system, improving the quality of research, and developing international scientific cooperation.
