The dangerous coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has been spreading around the world from the Chinese city of Wuhan for more than 15 months. More than 3.4 million people in the world have already contracted this disease, more than 12,290 in our country. As the virus spreads mainly through physical contact, to protect the health and lives of students and teachers, it was necessary to close universities and transfer teaching to the online space. The Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra has also switched to the distance form of study since March last year. In this paper, we compare the methods and forms of teaching mathematics in full-time study before and after the appearance of COVID. We compared teaching in the school year 2019/2020, when we taught in-person, and 2020/2021, when the teaching was carried out in a distance form. In both cases, we took into account the study at the Faculty of Economics and Management in the subject Mathematics IA, which is taught in the winter semester of the given school year. In this paper, we evaluated the partial score results those students achieved during the semester and their results of final exams. Both years differed in the number of partial semester works. We used the methods of mathematical descriptive statistics for this evaluation. We created databases in Excel, from which we calculated the average point evaluation of individual components and the total number of points. We also calculated the correlation coefficients between the individual parts of this course, for which students could get points. In this way we recorded the data obtained in tables and graphs. We tested hypothesis that students of full-time study would achieve better results than distance-learning students. After comparing the obtained results, we found that this hypothesis was not approved.

“…Economic study programs include mathematical subjects which utilize applied mathematical methods and express relations in quantitative forms (Rozhkova et al, 2017;Álvarez, et al 2018). Universities prepare graduates for the labor market where they will use mathematical knowledge to solve various practical problems (Farkašová, 2013).…”

“…This technology fundamentally changes the interaction between teacher and student. Both methods and forms of learning are changing [8]. The introduction of screencasting, that is, a video that contains a record of actions performed on a computer with the author's comments [9], allows the educational process to be taken to a qualitatively new level.…”

The information technologies applications in various fields of human activity are developing exponentially now. The article considers possibility of using screencasting in a computer science course at a technical university. Screencast is a video that contains a record of actions performed on a computer with the author’s comments. The advantages and disadvantages of this technology in the learning process are considered. It is noted that the technology of on-screen video is distinguished by information richness and strong emotional effect on the student. The application of screencasting in computer science classes at the Tomsk Polytechnic University using the mathematical package MathCad, which has the means to solve all kinds of problems associated with symbolic operations, is presented. The motivation for this study is to increase the student learning process effectiveness. Therefore, the objectives of the study are: to study the possibility of screencasting in the student learning process organization, to study the possibility of using this technology during studying a computer science course, to find out how effectively this method allows to master knowledge in the relevant discipline. The results of study using this technology and the traditional method are analyzed. It is shown that the use of screencasting allows to improve the test results in comparison with the group trained by the traditional method.
