Treffer: Java script generator of interactive computer models of classical and relativistic mechanical systems.

The paper considers a relatively simple method for creating interactive electronic models of physical systems that does not require programming and automatic generation of numerical models of complex physical systems. The created training models are available for use via the Internet and allow almost unlimited on-line editing by users. The options of using the created electronic models to support mass individualized learning and the organization of independent educational and scientific research of students are discussed. The development is based on the original method of physical object-oriented modeling (POOM), which is an application of traditional ideas of object-oriented programming to the problems of constructing and configuring numerical models of relatively complex physical systems. Within its framework, a computer model of a physical system is constructed as a set of software objects that model the behavior of its components relative to separate physical elements: particles and fields. The interaction between the elements of the model is described using self-adapting algorithms, the choice of which is set during the construction of the model, depending on the physical approximation used: classical or relativistic. An electronic designer of interactive models of physical systems, represented in the form of arbitrary aggregates of classical and relativistic particles interacting with each other and external fields, has been created on the basis of the POOM ideology and Java-Script technology. The possibility of using an electronic designer as a basis for students to conduct independent research work on the study of the physical properties of complex mechanical systems, the analysis of which goes beyond the standard programs in physics and mathematics, is tested. The heuristic capabilities of the models created with the help of an electronic designer are demonstrated. The electonic designer is focused on the development of a series of virtual physical models to support classroom and online courses in physics and the organization of independent creative work of students in the MOOC–education system.
