Methodical requirements for training materials of on-line courses on the platform “Higher school mathematics teacher”

Abstract

The article looks into the issue of developing methodical requirements for the structure and content of online courses. The study is dedicated to the analysis of peculiarities of developing the content of online systems and developing methodical recommendations to educational materials for online courses of training higher school mathematics teachers. The research considers the experts' experience in preparing, structuring and developing the content for online courses and answers to volunteers who have agreed to test the educational materials of the course. The answers given by the participants have allowed estimating the quality of the developed course and detecting its insignificant drawbacks. The article discusses general requirements to the structure and content of the online course, means for the implementation of a testing subsystem, peculiarities of developing educational video content and educational materials in PDF format, issues of implementing forum and survey subsystems, as well as means of estimating learning outcomes. We have grounds to conclude that the quality of the course is determined by the range of factors, among which we point out the course organization based on weekly planning, implementation of a testing subsystem under conditions of extended functionality, creation of abilities to organize feedback.

Model of the On-Line Course for Training Master Students Majoring in Mathematics for Teaching at University

“…Timeliness of designing the course "Methods for Teaching Mathematics to Students at Technical Universities" [26], its model and content were discussed and approved during the International Conference on Sustainable Futures: Environmental, Technological, Social and Economic Matters (ICSF 2020) (Vlasenko et al [33]).…”

“…Nurzhynska and Chernobrovkina [13] emphasize the fact that dynamic development of e-learning improves educational process and urges the necessity to create on-line libraries, to promote systematic on-line communication with a teacher, participation in webinars. Summarising the on-line learning experience of both, students and teachers, Austin, Gustafson [14], Vlasenko et al [15] focus on the possibility to ensure improving the qualification of Mathematics teachers through on-line courses. Gaff [16] and other developers of the courses justified the idea, that on-line education can contribute to students mastering the core types of practical teaching activities, applied when teaching Mathematics and solving certain problems.…”

The support of the process of training pre-service mathematics teachers by means of cloud services

“…The issue of application of information and communication technologies (ICT), and cloud technologies in particular, in the process of professional training of pre-service mathematics teachers is the subject of active research by Bobyliev and Vihrova [1], Clark-Wilson, Robutti and Thomas [4], Drijvers [5], Kiv, Soloviev and Semerikov [10], Kiv et al [11], Kramarenko, Bondar and Shestopalova [13], Kramarenko, Pylypenko and Zaselskiy [14], Kumar and Bhardwaj [16], Lovianova et al [17], Merzlykin, Popel and Shokaliuk [18], Mulenga and Marbán [20], Ndlovu et al [21], Papadakis [23], Perienen [24], Ponomareva [27], Popel [28], Purnomo and Jailani [30], Pyper [31], Semenikhina, Drushliak and Khvorostina [32], Vlasenko et al [39,40,41,42,43,45,46,47,48], Yang [49]. We will consider in more detail some of them related to our study.…”

Personal e-Learning Environment of a Mathematics Teacher

“…Relevance and timeliness of the issue of designing PLE for Maths teachers was discussed during the International Conference on Sustainable Future: Environmental, Technological, Social and Economic Matters (ICSF 2020) [14], [15], the participants of which came to a conclusion about the necessity to develop and implement on-line support for Maths teachers in designing PLE.…”
