Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of a pedagogical experiment aimed at studying the effectiveness of teaching methods of mechanical vibrations and waves in the school educational process. The experiment used traditional and innovative approaches; including theoretical training and multimedia resources. The main focus was on the integration of theory and practice; as well as assessing the impact of various methods on students' learning. The results of the experiment showed that the active involvement of students in practical activities; the use of technology and an individual approach significantly contribute to a deeper and longer-term assimilation of the material. At the same time; the importance of a balanced approach combining theoretical learning with practical tasks and real experiments has been revealed. The results of the study can be useful for further improvement of methods of teaching physics.
