Development of Information Competency in Students during Training in Al-Farabi's Geometric Heritage within the Framework of Supplementary School Education

Abstract

Information competency is one of the essential qualities of a person living in the information age. It includes skills in information handling in both educational domains and the outside world, as well as readiness and capability to use modern information and communication technologies when involved in various types of information activities. Building and developing information competency in students during teaching and upbringing is one of the primary goals of education. This article describes possible ways of developing it in students within the framework of supplementary education when studying the mathematical heritage of Al-Farabi, one of the greatest scientists of the early Middle Ages, whose fundamental studies made a significant contribution to development of world science. It has been proven that integrated extracurricular classes in geometry and information science are one of the most useful patterns of teaching the scientist's heritage within the framework of supplementary school education. The article highlights the main components of information competency for the most effective organisation of its development process, provides geometric construction problems from the scientist's mathematical heritage, tasks related to his biography and scientific activities, as well as up-to-date educational and information and communication technologies to facilitate the most effective development of information competency in students.

Multimedia Educational Environment as a Tool for Developing Communicative Competences in the Field of Trilingual Higher Education

“…All of these skills are components of successful communicative competence, which manifests itself in three dimensions. This includes not only communicating, but also analysing both one's own level of knowledge and that of the interlocutor, and the ability of students to convey the information they receive (Bidaybekov et al, 2017).…”

State Order for the Training of Specialists With Higher Education and Optimisation of the Higher Education Network

“…The practice of applying the current state order distribution system confidently demonstrates that the best of all applicants, especially for technical and natural sciences, which are extremely necessary for the recovery of the economy of Ukraine, do not always have sufficient basic school training and the necessary level of cognitive abilities to form the necessary professional skills and personal competencies (Kraliuk et al, 2021). This is clearly evidenced by the low passing scores when enrolling in the budgetary form of education in higher education institutions for these specialties (Ponomarenko, 2020;Bidaybekov et al, 2017).…”
