The efficiency of the use of multimedia developments in the study of graphic disciplines

Abstract

The article substantiates the necessity of using multimedia technologies in the process of teaching graphic disciplines at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The applied multimedia developments have a significant impact on the process of improving the teaching methods and, accordingly, on enhancing the quality of the acquired knowledge of students in descriptive geometry and engineering graphics. The article presents the slides of the lecture material from a multimedia manual on the discipline "Descriptive Geometry", developed by the lecturers of the department for all types of classes. The manual contains theoretical material, examples of problem solving, questions and tasks for self-control in the discipline "Descriptive Geometry". The manual is based on the use of multimedia and 3D visualization of the basic concepts and engineering examples of the use of the theoretical provisions of the discipline "Descriptive Geometry" and is intended for independent work of students of engineering and technical specialties of higher educational institutions. The article provides specific recommendations at the presentation design stage. When creating a multimedia presentation, it is necessary to take into account not only the relevant principles of classical didactics, but also the specific principles of using computer multimedia presentations. Multimedia technologies open up fundamentally new methodological approaches in the system of general education, and as for the study of graphic disciplines, multimedia technologies make it possible to quickly combine a variety of tools that contribute to a deeper and more conscious acquisition of the studied material, as well as save time of seminars and lectures. Multimedia materials in the form of electronic textbooks and presentations provide a more solid assimilation of knowledge and allow improving the efficiency and quality of education. Using multimedia technologies in the process of teaching boosts students' interest in obtaining new knowledge and activation of cognitive activity, both at the level of consciousness and subconsciousness.
