Developing the Potential of Visualization Technologies in Hybrid Tuition
Research problem. The problem of the pedagogical technologies effectiveness for students' distance learning has grown more acute in the extreme period of the world pandemic lockdowns. The analysis of the training quality and students' estimations showed a decrease in the significance of vocational and oriented texts; weak association between educational material and the reality of the profession; vagueness of visual representation of study objects; misunderstanding of the processes studied; reluctance to read the texts of methodological materials; misunderstanding of presentation graphics; rapid fatigue and reduced concentration of attention in monologue lectures. The research focuses on the experience of using the developing potential of imaging technologies in hybrid training. Research aim: To analyze the experience of implementing various modern technologies for visualizing the content of vocational and oriented educational disciplines in hybrid university tuition; to identify and experimentally test the positive effects of the influence of visualization technologies in hybrid tuition. Research methods: Theoretical methods - the analysis of the developing potential of pedagogical technologies for visualizing objects and processes in domestic and foreign universities. Experimental methods included: case visualization; Flickr-illustration of presentations; static and dynamic animation; video and qualimetric analysis. Empirical methods included; statistical analysis of the students' questionnaire results; learning products and the results of academic achievements. The study involved 103 students on 2-3 undergraduate courses. Conclusions and recommendations. The research provides conclusions about the significant developing potential of pedagogical technologies of visualization in the educational process of the university. The analysis of the educational results demonstrated the demand for visualization technologies. Most assessments of academic achievements and the students' own predictions were above average. Case visualization as a variant of visualization technology provides a realistic presentation of real-life situations. Flickr-illustration of presentations is based on advanced Internet skills. The cooperative presentations by several students ensured the development of teamwork in a geographically distributed remote format. The animated images and dynamism of the objects revived lectures; reduced the fatigue; and the monotony of teachers' and students' distance meetings. This method contributed to the concentration of attention and the development of students' professional intuition. It provides the ability to repeat and watch video recordings of laboratory at a convenient time for detailed monitoring of the process under study. Thus, visualization technologies in the modern digital version improve the quality of professional education both in full-time and in a distance format of training in the universities. Application: In the development of training courses on MOODLE platforms as well as other digital higher education educational environments.
