DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR STUDYING MATHEMATICS AT A MARITIME UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The paper discusses the positive impact of digital solutions on the learning process of higher mathematics for junior cadets at a maritime university. Most young people today prefer virtual communication and use social media for this purpose. Using the capabilities of the Telegram digital platform, the “Mathematics and Video” channel was created. Its goals are to engage students in the educational process, increase motivation for learning mathematics, stimulate cognitive activity, and develop critical thinking skills. Cadets who subscribe to the channel receive videos on the topic being studied in the form of popular science presentations and/or educational video lessons. In the former case, open materials in video format from domestic and international scholars who popularize mathematics are used. In the latter case, the authors are the university faculty themselves. To analyze the channel’s effectiveness, an online survey was conducted among channel subscribers. The survey results suggest that the digital solution in education, the “Mathematics and Video” Telegram channel, contributes to improving the quality and productivity of the educational process.
