The Possibilities of Using New Digital Technologies in Teaching Students the Course of Geometry

Abstract

This article discusses the possibilities of using digital educational resources, including virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies in the process of teaching geometry to future mathematics teachers. In the modern education system, in order for students to receive an effective education, they must first arouse their interest in learning new knowledge, and only then will the new material move into long-term memory. And it is impossible to interest the youth of the 21st century with videos, presentations, pictures. Therefore, the use of VR/AR technologies in the learning process is considered promising. The authors of the article analyzed the state programs and concepts on the research topic, analyzed the work of domestic and foreign scientists on the research topic, conducted online surveys and conversations with students, and analyzed the results. . In addition, the article presents a number of tasks performed by the use of technology in augmented reality, and examples of their digital performance in the chapter "Rotating body" in the course of practical training. As part of the math education program, 54 students were surveyed to find out how well students are familiar with VR/AR technologies and how they use them, and the results of the survey are presented in detail. According to the results of the survey, it was found that students do not know the possibilities of applications and programs of VR/AR technology in the course of geometry and need to improve their knowledge in this area from a methodological and psychological-pedagogical point of view. The authors believe that teaching future mathematics teachers to use augmented reality technologies in geometry lessons will stimulate the process of visualization and create a creative, informational and educational environment for students.
