Using the e-learning course “Analytic Geometry” in the process of training students majoring in Computer Science and Information Technology

Abstract

As a result of literature analysis the expediency of free access of bachelors majoring in Computer Sciences and Information Technologies to modern information educational resources, in particular, e-learning courses in the process of studying mathematical disciplines is substantiated. It was established that the e-learning course is a complex of teaching materials and educational services created for the organization of individual and group training using information and communication technologies. Based on the outlined possibilities of applying the e-learning course, as well as its didactic functions, the structure of the certified e-learning course “Analytic Geometry” based on the Moodle platform was developed and described. Features of application of cloud-oriented resources are considered: Desmos, Geogebra, Wolfram|Alpha, Sage in the study of the discipline “Analytic Geometry”. The results of the pedagogical experiment on the basis of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University and A. S. Makarenko Sumy State Pedagogical University are presented. The experiment was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the implementation of the e-learning course “Analytic Geometry”. Using the Pearson criterion it is proved that there are significant differences in the level of mathematical preparation of experimental and control group of students. The prospect of further scientific research is outlined through the effectiveness of the use of e-learning courses for the improvement of additional professional competences of students majoring in Computer Sciences and Information Technologies (specialization “Programming”, “Internet of Things”).

8th Workshop on Cloud Technologies in Education: Report

“…The article "Methodology of formation of modeling skills based on a constructive approach (on the example of GeoGebra)" [34] by Marina G. Drushlyak (figure 27), Olena V. Semenikhina, Volodymyr V. Proshkin, Serhii Ya. Kharchenko and Tetyana D. Lukashova highlights further research by the authors, begun in [3,12,19,35,47,48,197]. Author's methodology of forming modeling skills involves 4 steps: Step 1 -the teacher step by step constructs the curve by means of cloud based service GeoGebra; Step 2 -the teacher offers a description-definition of the curve and provides a ready-made algorithm by which students model the curve independently in GeoGebra; Step 3 -the teacher offers an algorithm for constructing a curve model, and students need to characterize the properties of the curve or give its definition based on the results, Step 4 -students are offered definitions of curves that they have to model in GeoGebra).…”

CTE 2019 – When cloud technologies ruled the education

“…The article "The usage of digital technologies in the university training of future bachelors (having been based on the data of mathematical subjects)" (Fig. 13) of Oksana M. Hlushak, Svetlana O. Semenyaka, Volodymyr V. Proshkin, Stanislav V. Sapozhnykov and Oksana S. Lytvyn [23] highlights further research by the authors, begun in [22] and [114]. This article demonstrates that mathematics in the system of higher education has outgrown the status of the general education subject and should become an integral part of the professional training of future bachelors, including economists, on the basis of intersubject connection with special subjects.…”
