APPLICATION OF THE ELECTRONIC COURSE “DRAWING” IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF STUDENTS OF TECHNICAL SPECIALTIES, THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE BASIC TRAINING IN DRAWING
Graphic literacy of a technical specialist is an important component of the competence and competitiveness of a future specialist. Closely interconnected graphic disciplines “Descriptive geometry”, “Engineering graphics” teach the basics of this literacy. One of the factors that influences the formation of graphic literacy of students is the level of training of applicants in the disciplines of geometry and drawing. Since students study these graphic disciplines in the first years of study. To date, the lack of basic training for the majority of students in engineering fields and specialties has become an urgent problem. The purpose of this article is to present pedagogical experience in organizing the educational process in graphic disciplines at a technical university using the developed electronic course “Drawing”, placed in the electronic information educational environment Moodle. This course provides for independent study, and the teacher controls it, since the course is intended for students who have not studied drawing at school. The electronic course contains five sections, which include the basic concepts and topics of the school curriculum. Each section of the course contains interactive lectures, small graphic tasks and a form of self-control in the form of testing with a time limit. The electronic course has a forum for feedback from the teacher and other course participants to discuss emerging issues. The main advantage of the electronic course is that the student has access to it at any free time from any technical device with Internet access, both within the walls of the university and remotely. The data obtained in the course of the work done and their comparative analysis showed that the developed electronic course is necessary for students, as it helps to fill in the lack of basic knowledge of drawing and positively affects the quality of studying graphic disciplines. Along with this, it was noted that many students enrolled in the course did not start it due to their inability to organize themselves or negligent attitude to the educational process.
