VISUALIZATION OF SECOND ORDER CURVES IN GEOGEBRA WHEN TEACHING MATHEMATICS TO STUDENTS OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Problem statement. This article is devoted to such a topical issue as the use of the dynamic mathematics system (DMS) GeoGebra in teaching mathematics. DMSs are gradually being introduced into mathematics education, but the question is raised about the effectiveness of their application. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of GeoGebra on the quality of the solving of tasks on the topic «Second order curves» by 2nd year students studying in the specialty “Applied Informatics (by branches)” at NovosibirskProfessional and Pedagogical Vocational Education Institution. The research methodology consisted in the analysis and synthesis of scientific literature on the chosen topic, pedagogical experiment, mathematical methods of processing the results of this experiment and observation of the participants in the pedagogical process.The obtained results of the research indicate that the use of the GeoGebra program has a positive effect on the academic performance of students. Statistical processing of the obtained data shows that there are no differences in the selected criteria between the group that worked in the GeoGebra and the group that worked without computer programs. However, the use of DMSmakes it possible to visually demonstrate the material, draw the attention of students to the academic discipline, promotes the development of creative thinking, and allows students to experiment with mathematical objects on their own. Conclusion. Due to the widespread use of dynamic systems in mathematics education, the study of their influence on the development of various cognitive abilities and personal qualities of students is of practical and scientific interest. The materials of the work can be used in the educational process when teaching and learning the course EN.01 Mathematics at the level of secondary vocational education and distributed to various topics and sections of mathematical disciplines at other levels of education.
