Possibilities to Use Information and Communication Technologies in Teaching Disciplines of the Natural Sciences Unit

Abstract

AbstractThe modern digital transformation of education is followed by the introduction of numerous various interactive technologies and communications in all areas of educational process. The success and effectiveness of the use of new technologies in the educational process depends largely on the conditions for their implementation: the material and technical base, the characteristics of the educational institution, the readiness of lecturers, and the chosen technologies. Currently, one of the most actual problems is the selection and evaluation of the effectiveness of such technologies, as well as their implementation and successful integration into the educational process. The purpose of the article is to generalize and analyze the results of the experience of conducting all types of classes in the discipline “Physics” at the Don State Technical University (DSTU). This experience makes it possible to study the possibilities of using information and communication technologies and proprietary teaching methods for effective teaching. The article contains the results of approbation of digital interactive technologies and teaching methods, discusses the features of the use of these technologies and methods, provides system information and practical recommendations on their application and the methods of checking the level of adoption of the competencies by students. The results of the winter and summer sessions of the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic years confirmed the effectiveness of the methods used. The information provided can help to identify the most optimal methods and ways of conducting and organizing classes for the disciplines of the natural sciences unit.KeywordsDSTUInformation and communication technologiesDistance learningDigital interactive technologiesDigitalization of education
