IMPROVEMENT OF THE METHOD OF TEACHING GRAPHIC DISCIPLINES IN THE CONDITIONS OF COMPUTERIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

Purpose of work. Investigation of the possibilities of combining traditional and computer methods of teaching graphic disciplines to improve the level of technical knowledge of students in the process of training fu-ture specialists in materials science. Research methods. The article analyzes and developed the theoretical and methodological foundations for the use of information systems in the course of studying the discipline "Descriptive geometry, engineering and computer graphics" in higher technical educational institutions. Research results. The components of the educational-methodical complex on descriptive geometry, engi-neering and computer graphics for future specialists of the technical branch of mechanical specialties have been developed. The existing problems in the traditional approach to teaching graphic disciplines are analyzed and the necessity of introducing computer technologies into the educational process is substantiated. It is shown that the use of modern computer systems allows students to more easily and quickly acquire basic technical knowledge and gain practical skills in computer modeling and graphics, in the limited time of the educational process, to more consciously and deeper understand the rules of classical descriptive geometry and engineering graphics. It is noted that excessive computerization of the educational process leads to students' confidence in the unlimited possibilities of computers, in turn, can lead them to think about giving up independent efforts to achieve certain results in performing production tasks in professional activity after graduation. Therefore, a reasonable compro-mise between the traditional approach to the study of the discipline and the use of computer technology is an im-portant task for higher education teachers. Scientific novelty. Methodologically, the analysis of theoretical studies of modern methods of teaching graphic disciplines is combined with the practical results of the acquisition of knowledge by students of mechan-ical specialties. It is shown that for students of mechanical specialties, graphic disciplines must be taught as usu-al, with an emphasis on the future profession, and the comprehensive application of computer education technol-ogy. Practical significance of work results. The content of the working programs of the course "Descriptive geometry, engineering and computer graphics" should be adjusted towards more attention to three-dimensional modeling of geometric shapes using computer technology. It is necessary to take into account interdisciplinary connections, develop and implement a unified methodological approach suitable for teaching general engineer-ing disciplines using computer technologies in the educational process.
