The article analyses the application of automatically controlled physics laboratory experiment using information technology to enhance students’ motivation and interdisciplinary communication. The paper reveals how the application of interdisciplinary methods promotes students’ interest in studies, enhances the learning process and the quality of the students’ learning results from the very beginning of learning process. It was practically justified that during the fundamental science laboratory experiments, the first-year students realistically assess their future career prospects. Students become aware of the perspective of the further studies because they work with equipment designed by higher courses students. As a practical illustration of the authors and students of physics experiment designed automated equipment. The experiment system realized combines mechatronics, electronics, and programming technical areas corresponding to students' professional specialization. The system of physics laboratory experiment, has attracted particular interest students and the author conviction increased student motivation to learn.

We investigated effects of the media’s portrayal of boys as “scholastic failures” on secondary school students. The negative portrayal induced stereotype threat (boys underperformed in reading), stereotype reactance (boys displayed stronger learning goals towards mathematics but not reading), and stereotype lift (girls performed better in reading but not in mathematics). Apparently, boys were motivated to disconfirm their group’s negative depiction, however, while they could successfully apply compensatory strategies when describing their learning goals, this motivation did not enable them to perform better. Overall the media portrayal thus contributes to the maintenance of gender stereotypes, by impairing boys’ and strengthening girls’ performance in female connoted domains and by prompting boys to align their learning goals to the gender connotation of the domain.
