TECHNOLOGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL THINKING OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF GEOMETRIC IMAGES USING GEOGEBRA
Teaching geometry occupies a special place in the development of thinking of secondary school students, in the formation of components and qualities of thinking necessary not only for continuing education and mastering new fields of knowledge, but also ensuring the success of professional activity and the fullness of everyday life in modern society. The specifics of the geometric content of mathematical training at school contributes to the mastery of mathematical methods of cognition of the surrounding world, the development of logical thinking, the mastery of graphic, symbolic skills and skills necessary for the development of spatial thinking of students. The development of spatial thinking in teaching geometry in secondary school is based on visual-imaginative thinking. The student deposits images of perceived geometric objects in his memory. For students of older adolescence, the mental representation of a graphic image is important and is a factor contributing to the development of spatial thinking. Despite the fact that for many years the issue of the formation of spatial images and representations, the development of spatial thinking remains in the focus of attention of scientists and methodologists, the problem of the development of spatial thinking has unsolved problems. In the modern educational environment, information technologies are not sufficiently used in the development of spatial thinking when teaching geometry. The article discusses the technology of developing students' spatial thinking by constructing geometric images using GEOGEBRA. The technique of computer support of geometry lessons on the example of the topic "Combination of polyhedra and round bodies" is presented. The technology of spatial thinking development is a systematic method of designing, implementing, evaluating, correcting and then reproducing the learning process.
