Improving the efficiency of teaching mathematics in e-learning course using training lectures

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the problem of effective presentation of theoretical material by e-courses in mathematical disciplines, which arises due to the peculiarities of teaching mathematics, and of such hypophysical processes as attention and memory. We consider the pedagogical principles of microlearning and combining theory with practice, following which allows to increase the degree of theoretical material digestion by students. We propose implementing these principles with the help of training lectures, in which portions of theoretical material alternate with test tasks. We describe an experiment for studying the effectiveness of training lectures in teaching students using the electronic course “Probability theory” created in the Learning Management System Moodle. We examine the effectiveness of training lectures in the educational process in comparison with standard electronic lecture, which is usually presented as a multipage text file.
