Abstract

The main peculiarity of the information age is the introduction of media technologies in various spheres of educational activity and human life, which means that the effectiveness of mastering everything new largely depends on self-learning individual readiness in the face of changing media realities. To form and develop self-learning individual readiness in order to continuously update the level of their knowledge and skills, both in their professional sphere and in ordinary life, is necessary to start in the process of their education at a higher educational establishment, taking into account external and internal factors of this development, and also their relationship. We have identified the shown factors at the stage of individual training at a university and developed a factor model of the media educational concept of developing self-learning individual readiness, demonstrating the main mechanism of the relationship between a person and the environment of their development. Based on this model, teachers can successfully influence on the process of developing self-learning individual readiness, both at the stage of formal education and at the interface of formal and non-formal forms of individual education, helping to improve their self-learning readiness after graduation from a university in constantly changing media conditions.

Abstract

The article describes the results of the study of methodological approaches to teaching programming in primary school using the Kodu Game Lab environment. Existing trends in teaching programming are described, as well as the connection of training with the development of computational thinking and the formation of “new literacy”. Seven methodological aspects of using the Kodu Game Lab are highlighted (quick entry of students into the topic; mastering the method of action instead of remembering the sequence of actions; mastering the method of action instead of listing; differentiation of results in the implementation of formalized tasks; implementation of project activity as part of the lesson; conducting research on the patterns of the virtual environment; development of teamwork skills on a digital project) and examples of the implementation of each of them are provided. The lack of sufficient statistical support for the analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of the developed approaches has been taken into account, accordingly, further research paths have been formulated. There are also arguments in favor of using the stated methodological approaches.

Abstract

The active development of the cybersecurity industry has led not only to the need to develop specialized software, improve the skills of employees of large companies, but also to the formation of future teachers’ skills and abilities of competent behavior in cyberspace. The analysis of the normative documentation indicates that the problem of training future teachers of mathematics and computer science for teaching schoolchildren the basics of cybersecurity comes to the fore. The article is devoted to the description of a possible way to solve the identified problems. The article presents four levels of formation of knowledge, skills of students of pedagogical areas of training in the field of cybersecurity, means and methods of their achievement, structural components of cybersecurity and the disciplines of the curriculum (bachelor’s degree), allowing to master the content of these components, describes the special features of lecture and practical lessons. The authors of the article believe that the proposed approach allows us to implement the idea of lifelong cybersecurity education according to the scheme: schoolchildren — undergraduate students — graduate students — acting teachers.

INFORMATIZATION OF EDUCATION

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the problem of effective presentation of theoretical material by e-courses in mathematical disciplines, which arises due to the peculiarities of teaching mathematics, and of such hypophysical processes as attention and memory. We consider the pedagogical principles of microlearning and combining theory with practice, following which allows to increase the degree of theoretical material digestion by students. We propose implementing these principles with the help of training lectures, in which portions of theoretical material alternate with test tasks. We describe an experiment for studying the effectiveness of training lectures in teaching students using the electronic course “Probability theory” created in the Learning Management System Moodle. We examine the effectiveness of training lectures in the educational process in comparison with standard electronic lecture, which is usually presented as a multipage text file.

Abstract

The article describes creation of the project of the information system intended for calculation of student’s ratings. Design of such system is a relevant task as in the higher education system of the Russian Federation there is a set of the scholarship and grant programs intended for identification and support of talented students and graduate students however not in all higher educational institutions, which students are involved in extracurricular activities, achievements within such activity are estimated accurately and objectively. Not only the design, which is the second stage of life cycle of the described system, but also process of collecting and the analysis of requirements to it, without which development of the project is impossible, is considered. On the basis of the project described within this article, the information system is planned to be developed and put into operation.

Abstract

The article discusses the process of automation of the formation of educational and methodological documents in a higher educational institution. The main problems arising in the development of educational and methodological documents that are faced by teachers of higher education are highlighted, and options for solving them are proposed. The stages, principles and advantages of automation are discussed. The components of the proposed approach are considered, in particular: the model of educational and methodological support in terms of essence-relationship; templates of basic teaching documents; integration with the curriculum; the need to reuse educational content; the possibilities of batch formation of training documents; quality control of educational and methodological documentation; experience of implementation and use, as well as problems and possible directions of development. The functionality of the UMKA software system is given. The directions of automation of educational and methodological activities in general are considered.

Abstract

The article discusses issues with the peculiarity of using information technology to study the features of perception of information in students with hearing impairments. Thanks to the use of information technology, a method for clustering technical science students with hearing disabilities connected with so-called image thinking phenomenon into subgroups with different characteristics of the information perception in the learning process was created.

Employed methods and research strategy of the issue are presented in section 1. Based on the methodology of R. Cattell (form C) and using the modification of the test questionnaire of A. Mehrabian non-metric learning assessment scale using novel clusterization algorithm was proposed. Approbation of the proposed scale was conducted during the survey among the university students of technical specialties. The processing of survey results was conducted in Matlab based software, which was developed as an express method that allows to form personal, intellectual characteristics of hearing impaired students, as well as their motivational basis for learning. Analysis of the results obtained by the software is provided in section 2.

Section 3 of the article includes discussion of the results and recommendations to adopt the real-virtual environment of education, that allows to increase the efficiency of education for students with different types of hearing disabilities. A novel interaction model between teacher and students is also proposed.
