Implementation of the blended learning model in the study of mathematical disciplines

Abstract

The introduction of various information technologies into the learning process remains relevant. Higher schools are developing new forms and methods of teaching, focused on the use of computer Internet technologies. In the context of informatization of the education sector, the introduction of blended learning, as one of the varieties of e-learning, is best suited to the task of forming the cultural and professional competences of the future engineer. Blended learning technology has significant didactic capabilities and is characterized by a variety of forms, methods and learning tools provided, their interactivity, different ways of interaction between the subjects of the educational process and most fully meets the specifics of the university. The features of the use of distance learning technologies for students of the day department of engineering and technical specialties are considered in the article, the use of the basic elements of the e-course is described. Elements of electronic courses introduced in the educational process are presented, one form of blended learning is described. Within the course of higher mathematics, which is taught at Sumy State University, an information and practical block was formed. The information block is presented by electronic lecture notes with a built-in dictionary, video lectures and presentations. Information from the theoretical unit of the discipline is available to the student at any time when accessing through the student's personal office. Practical block of study of mathematical discipline includes tasks for individual work, simulators, tests. The article describes the peculiarities of implementation of these elements in the educational process. It is noted that the mixed approach to learning gives more interactivity and stimulates active learning, motivates students to educational and cognitive activity, allows to develop skills of independent learning, promotes the development of creative thinking and search for non-standard solutions. The introduction of electronic control elements of training (tests, tasks for joint performance, etc.) allows the teacher to get rid of the routine work of checking the intermediate learning result. Electronic systems allow you to do this quickly, efficiently, impartially. Conclusions have been made regarding the effectiveness of introducing blended learning into the learning process.
