Abstract

The penetration of digital technologies in the field of human sciences requires the use of more diverse teaching methods and techniques. Electronic educational resources (EER), which include a whole range of educational materials, allow varying the forms of teaching and contribute to improving the quality of education. This study analyses international experience in the development and implementation of EER and offers a practical description for organizing electronic teacher education with the bachelor's degree programmes. We tried to consider the specificity of using e-learning in the field of human sciences, specifically history. The study describes original development of electronic educational resources that have effectively proven themselves when working with students: the Eureka forum, creating a database project, text analysis of academic articles and creating a digest of scientific research on the problem. The study offers e-learning techniques that allow in a digital environment to preserve the traditional learning model – lecture-and-book model. To determine the impact of the e-learning, we conducted a survey among 98 students to evaluate the degree of involvement in the e-learning process and to obtain an assessment of its use in teaching practice. The study results can be practically used for creating new electronic educational resources focusing on distance education.

Highlights

The transition of all forms of intellectual potential to digital, in particular, the process of digitizing printed materials, including scientific works, educational and methodological materials, periodicals and much more, becomes the most important incentive to change the format of higher education [1,2]
Hundred percent of the respondents chose “In preparation for classes” in response to the first question. This means that educational resources (EER) is actively used by students in the learning process
According to the frequency of EER using, 73% of respondents indicated that they use electronic course materials once a week, which corresponds to the frequency of seminars. 5% of respondents indicated that they access to EER 12 times a month, and 26% - daily

Summary

Introduction

The transition of all forms of intellectual potential to digital, in particular, the process of digitizing printed materials, including scientific works, educational and methodological materials, periodicals and much more, becomes the most important incentive to change the format of higher education [1,2]. The easiest way to electronize learning is to transfer part of the training material, training tasks and additional materials to the cloud-based services available on mobile platforms or to the university servers. Such an approach makes it possible to simplify the work of the teacher, extend the learning time for students due to extracurricular time, and implement the “Anytime Anywhere Learning” concept important for the 21st century skills [5,6]. The main problem of the higher education for a while was that during the preparation of the printed edition of the textbook, the information contained in it became irrelevant [4,7]
