Abstract:

The article discusses the possible use of LMS Moodle in the development of the course “The use of computer modeling in education”. The course is based on the introduction of interdisciplinary integration of higher mathematics, computer modeling, programming into the educational process and involves the use of computer mathematics systems and software environments. Examples of specific integrated tasks are presented.

When designing the training course “Using Computer Simulation in Education” in LMS Moodle, the following set of elements was used: “lecture”, “task”, “test”, “forum”, “resource”, “wiki”, “chat”, “glossary”.

The use of the methodology for compiling integrated tasks based on LMS Moodle showed that: integrated tasks using information technology help to increase the level of mastering the material of complex sections of higher mathematics; the content of the course of higher mathematics is the fundamental basis of the material studied in the proposed course, and contributes to a deep understanding of mathematical disciplines; integrated design tasks form practical skills and abilities of computer modeling using programming in various software environments.

Abstract: There were identified problems that arise in the teaching of mathematics a medical university. We considered the ways of organizing independent work at each stage of studying a subject by using an electronic training course implemented on the Moodle platform. We studied the students' attitude to the components of the course, which allows to assess which resources are the most demanded.

Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the study of the cognitive function associated with the generation of elliptical sentences in the Russian language. The study is conducted by testing this cognitive ability using a computer system specially developed by the authors for this purpose. Testing of this cognitive ability is proposed and implemented for the first time. The system is an extension of Moodle and is openly hosted in the github repository. Elliptical constructions are limited to verbal and nominal ellipses, which are theoretically possible to be completely reconstructed based on the context of the sentence. The study is conducted with the participation of SPbPU students as respondents. The texts of planimetric tasks are chosen as the subject area. As a result of the analysis of testing data, the following results are obtained: the influence of the respondent’s knowledge of the subject area (planimetry) on the test results is established; a tendency towards self-study of respondents was discovered, which is manifested in a reduction in time and an increase in scores as they pass tests; it is shown that respondents are poorly motivated if they do not see feedback on the answer to the completed task. The paper discusses the problems of further development of the testing system and its use in adapting questionnaires (tasks) to assess the knowledge of SPbPU students in the field of automation of bug detection in programs, as well as for diagnosing the functional state of operator specialists and express diagnosis of dementia. It also seems promising to use the system to improve the processes of syntactic parsing of elliptic sentences and automate the restoration of ellipses in the subject area of planimetry.
