Educational Mathematical Modeling as a Tool of Scientific Method in Solving Text Problems by Students

Abaturova V.S., Dyatlov V.N.

Abstract

The article considers the problem of using the algorithm of educational mathematical modeling in teaching primary and high school students to solve text problems as a tool of the scientific method. It is shown that despite the requirements for the results of mastering educational cognitive, logical and research activities, primary and high school students have difficulty solving text problems, demonstrate a low level of skills to analyze the condition of the problem, create a mathematical model, and find a reasonable answer using the studied mathematical methods. The results of comparing the algorithm of the scientific method of solving research problems and the algorithm of educational mathematical modeling in solving text problems are presented. In the course, it is proved that these algorithms correlate, i.e. educational mathematical modeling is a tool of the scientific method in solving text problems by students. It also provides a detailed description of the student's universal learning actions at each stage of the learning mathematical modeling algorithm when solving a text problem. An example of solving a typical text problem for movement using this method is given. At the end of the article, the results of a study conducted by the authors within the framework of events for teachers and students of primary and high schools, during which an algorithm of educational mathematical modeling was used when students solved text problems.

Method of Teaching Solving Planimetric Problems by the Method of Coordinates Using GeoGebra

Sanina E.I., Polyakov I.V.

Abstract

The traditional system of teaching mathematics is currently undergoing changes. On the one hand, the changes are due to objective circumstances, such as the digitalization of society and its impact on educational processes, on the other hand, the requirements for the training of school graduates, which include, according to the Federal State Educational Standard of Basic and Secondary Education, subject training and personal development of students. In the scientific literature, both positive and negative effects of digital educational tools are noted. The problems of teaching geometry and the use of dynamic mathematics systems in solving geometric problems are especially discussed. In the theory and methods of teaching mathematics, issues related to teaching basic school students to solve planimetric problems with the support of GeoGebra have not been sufficiently studied. The purpose of this article is to develop a methodology for teaching planimetric problems using the coordinate method using GeoGebra software. The coordinate method in teaching planimetric problems was not chosen by chance. The analysis of the results of teaching geometry in basic school showed that it is when studying this method that students have many problems and teachers rarely use the coordinate method in solving planimetric problems. The methodology for teaching students of basic school to solve planimetric problems using the coordinate method with the use of GeoGebra is a system of interconnected components, the integrity of which determines the achievement of the final result. A special feature of the methodology is the visual modeling of the drawing construct based on the use of GeoGebra.

FUTURE ENGINEERS COMPUTATIONAL THINKING DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNIVERSITY MATHEMATICS COURSE

Kulikova I.V.

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of using computer mathematics systems in solving mathematical problems by students studying in specialties and training areas in the field of engineering and technology of land transport. The results of a content analysis of the concept of computational thinking of students of various specialties and fields of study in the process of their education in general scientific and special disciplines are presented. In the context of the problem under study, computational thinking is considered as the process of programming an algorithm for solving a problem using computer mathematics systems. When studying a university mathematics course, it is proposed to use special didactic tasks (complex computer-mathematical ones), the implementation of which provides for the mandatory use of the Mathcad computer mathematics system. The formulation of such tasks is based on the modification of the content of standard mathematical problems with the addition of the mandatory use of the Mathcad computer mathematics system to find quantitative values of the desired quantities. The article presents tasks for solving a system of linear algebraic equations (four equations and four unknowns) with multi-valued non-integer values of free terms and coefficients before the unknowns, constructing a graph of the surface of a function of two variables in a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system, which has extremum points and stationary points, and simulating a random event to calculate its relative frequency. The implementation of the proposed complex computer-mathematical tasks determines the need to go through such stages as the perception of the learning task, the definition of a mathematical model, the construction of an algorithm for solving the problem, programming computational actions, and analyzing the results obtained. These stages create favorable conditions for the activation of students' cognitive activity and the development of their computational thinking.

Accounting for Students Intermediate Attestation Data Using Blockchain Technologies

Nesterenko O.E., Orkin V.V., Ledjankin I.A., Antonov D.A.

Abstract

In the context of reforming the higher education system in the Russian Federation, the issues of meeting certain requirements and provisions of regulatory and legal acts related to digitalization and informatization of the learning process and accounting for its results are of particular relevance. In order to improve the quality of students education, various automation systems and educational management systems are currently being intensively implemented in educational institutions of the Russian Federation. The analysis of open sources of information conducted by the authors team has shown that cases of falsification of educational documents in order to mislead employers about the actual formation of certain competencies of an employee of the company are still possible. The reason for this problem is that universities often keep records of learning outcomes «on paper» without using computerization tools, which does not exclude the possibility of re-registration of students credit lists and credit books retroactively. The article describes the developed demonstration prototype of an automated system for recording the results of intermediate certification of students in a higher education institution. In order to avoid making changes to accounting documents, the development of the prototype used the capabilities of blockchain technology, which has proven to be effective in preserving the integrity of user data. In addition, based on the experience of implementing other automation systems, requirements were formed for the system of accounting for the results of intermediate certification of students in higher education institutions. The use of the developed system will increase the complexity of entering data into the system retroactively to an unacceptable level, or this possibility will be excluded altogether.
