Science Learning with Information Technologies as a Tool for "Scientific Thinking" in Engineering Education
Smirnov, Eugeny; Bogun, Vitali
Online Submission, US-China Education Review A 4 p439-463 2011
New methodologies in science (or mathematics) learning process and scientific thinking in the classroom activity of engineer students with ICT (information and communication technology), including graphic calculator are presented: visual modelling with ICT, action research with graphic calculator, insight in classroom and communications and reflection of integrative actions. How can we show our students the beauty of science (and mathematics) with ICT and the way scientists think and try to find the truth? Is it possible to create the motivation in science learning for students using ICT or graphic calculator? How can we organize the engineer training on such professional activity in classroom? In this paper, we tried to answer the questions using methodology of visual modelling and technology of resource lessons in high engineering school, including remote e-learning environment. (Contains 13 figures and 2 tables.)
