Особливості діагностики математичної підготовки студентів комп’ютерних спеціальностей
Abstract
Статтю присвячено актуальній проблемі діагностики під час викладання вищої математики студентам комп’ютерних спеціальностей. У статті запропоновано комплекс діагностичних засобів для перевірки якості знань та навичок, отриманих студентами в процесі вивчення цієї дисципліни, розроблено методику його впровадження в навчальний процес. Особливу увагу приділено розгляду спеціальних підходів, зорієнтованих на специфіку математичної підготовки майбутніх фахівців галузі інформаційних технологій. Наведено засоби, за досвідом авторів, які дозволяють викладачеві забезпечити адекватне оцінювання студентів і скоригувати навчальний процес на основі аналізу результатів діагностики. Унаслідок цього підвищується ефективність навчання в цілому, що доводить доцільність використання запропонованої системи у викладацькій практиці. The article is devoted to the actual problem of diagnostics in the teaching of higher mathematics to students of computer specialties. In this paper a set of diagnostic tools to test the quality of knowledge and skills acquired by students in the process of studying this discipline is proposed and a methodology for its implementation is developed. Diagnostic tools and methods always play an important role in the learning process. The system of control and evaluation of the quality of knowledge should encourage students to purposeful educational activities, ensure the fairness of the assessment, meet world standards. At present, the main requirement for education is its competitiveness, the result of training is not assessed by the volume of acquired information, but by the acquisition of professional competencies. Today the quality training of a specialist means, first of all, his ability to work effectively, therefore, the approaches to diagnostics should correspond to the future profession of a student. This article presents the development of a diagnostic complex on higher mathematics focused on computer science students, the use of which in the learning process can significantly intensify the cognitive activity of students, improve the quality of knowledge obtained in the process of mathematical preparation. First of all, the work is devoted to special forms of diagnostics, which are practiced by the authors in teaching students of this profile, the presentation of the results of their implementation in the educational process and justification of the advisability of their use in teaching practice. The authors propose, along with traditional forms of control, to use: testing of theoretical and practical content; competence-oriented practical tasks; calculation tasks with the use of systems of computer mathematics MatLab, MathCad, etc.; tasks of programming algorithms and methods; creative tasks using computer software. The article describes the methodology for diagnosing the quality of knowledge gained by students, as well as experience in applying in this context the program-instrumental learning platform MOODLE, which is used at Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics. These tools, according to the authors' experience, allow the teacher to provide an adequate assessment of the students, and to adjust the educational process based on the analysis of the results of the diagnostics. As a result, the effectiveness of training increases in general, that proves the feasibility of using the proposed system in teaching practice.
