Abstract

The paper analyzes the key didactic and methodological problems of development and application of electronic technology of learning. Methodical aspects of digital educational resources in teaching physics

Nowadays the «Electronic Learning"term (or E-learning) is widely used in educational field of study. This term includes concepts as ICT, multimedia, online training and training which is based on web technologies, etc. Computer technology progress gives us big opportunities for various didactical ideas realization. However, methodical aspects ofelectronic learning lag behind technical tools development. Therefore, the methodological problems development issue, which includesthe problems with electronic learning implementers’ realization, is vital more than ever.

The Education Development State Programmefrom 2011 to 2020 is directed oneducational process technologization and focused on electronic learning which allows realizinghigh quality mass education [1].

The info communication technology of XXI century led to cardinal educational process updating. The new century training paradigmbuilds new relations betweeneducational process participants.

Electronic learning methodical bases development includes:

- Training system development, deployment and support in process of using the digital educational resources (DER). This system provides educational process individualization and high-quality changes in learning process by learners’ academic results improvement;

- Research based on new educational technologies with DER usage;

- Specialists training who can use modern educational technologies based on DER, and develop their professional skills;

- Create methodical manuals about electronic educational technologies usage;

- Creation training system for students with disabilities. This system makes the studying process with DER possible for them, and gives them opportunity for distance learning.

Nowadays many researchers’ work referto electronic learning extension in Kazakhstan. Moreover, the International Consortium of DERdevelopers of national electronic learning system werecreated in Kazakhstan. According to theNational Center of Informatization the"Systems of Electronic learning (E-learning)" development and equipment extension are provided by AEO “New Information Technologies”. Training of teachers who in future could use this system is providedby "Orleu"Teachers Professional Development Center. National Center of Informatization (NCI), the branch of "Parasat"holding, andL.N.Gumilyov National University etc. are engaged in Digital Educational Resources (DER) development extension around the Kazakhstan[2].

Nowadays problemof methodical supporting of DER usage, problem of students’ professional development, and network interactionorganization between students, methodologists, and teachers from universities are important part of educational field study.Development of pedagogical software and using in educational process sets of high quality IT products depend on teachers’ staff motivation and readiness to use new information technologies. Furthermore, it demands updating the methodology and transferringinformation and communication technologies to new next level. Readiness to implement and develop electronic systems of education isdirected to educational process informatization.

Nowadays education at universities faced the problem of electronic system methodology using manuals creation. Teachers’ ability to define useful information in our world of huge amount of dataplays the significant is the biggest issue. Teachers should create the Information field of study: ways of search, analyze, processing the information, to focus on distance learning and distance ways of assessment.

Creation and effective data usage at informational educational environment is one of the electronic learning problems. Methodical bases development demands:

• Traditional teaching approaches organizations, and approaches providing students’ activity and their interaction with all members in educational process;

• Advanced administrative component (assessment policy development, registration mechanisms, collect assessment data, resources supply etc.)

Electronic methodical system can work under the few conditions as Informational teaching field construction,distance interaction environment creation, and automotive teaching quality monitoring.

Electronic technologies usage demands new approachesand allows educational process acceleration.

As it was motioned above, electronic learning system content should be converted to a digital format. Level of pedagogical and infocommunication technologies integration defines the different types of this content. For instance, at elementary school this is computer training games, at high school – electronic textbooks, in colleges – virtual simulators, at university level – electronic research laboratories. It is impossible withouttechnical tools. These tools are educational multimedia complexes as: electronic textbooks, virtual laboratories, testing computer systems, applied programs packages. All informational educational environment components and educational multimedia complexes have and carry out didactic functions.

Electronic learning technical tools classify on three groups:

• Software and hardware multimedia Internet tools;

• Pedagogical tool as electronic learning materials automotive preparationsoftware;

• Pedagogical tool as educational process systems hardware.

Electronic learning system updating will update the controlling system. This system controls school (SMS), classes (CRMS), learning process (LMS), testing process (TMS), social interaction (CMS), psychology -pedagogical monitoring (MPcMS) and content subjects methodical systems controlling process (MMS)[3]. Educational process controlling system hardware integrates the main functions of electronic learning organization: students’ registration, students independent study supporting, organization of individual and group interaction between students and teachers, summative and formative testing and other functions which supports educational process organization. Distance learning demands new pedagogical methodology content and teaching approaches. Roles of teachers and the students’ are needed to be redefined.

Electronic toolkits allow students independently choose material and study mode, allow find the answers to questions, complete tasks, operate with multimedia illustrations (flash, vrml, video, audio), etc. Therefore, electronic learning demands from studentscertain information and communication competences level.

Digital educational resources acting as portable electronic contents promote intersubject competences. Electronic learning content can be classified as:

I. Reproductive type: printing materials as files, audio, video records.

II. Active type: electronic textbooks and testing computer systems which demanding hyperlinks navigation, 3D objects illustration, multiple choice tasks, etc.

III. Interactive type: simulators, virtual laboratories, computer systems with objects mathematical models and the didactic interface.

IV. Research type: computer systems for work performance improvement: productivity, quality etc.

Each digital educational resource represents an integrative complex as multimedia sounded presentations, digitized texts, interactive tasks and testing programs for certain subject.

The DER components, from students’ point of view, have to be tested. The authors have to consider pedagogical methodology of material assimilation. Materials taught in audiovisual and interactive forms are easier to acquire, than in the abstract and text forms.

The DER content has to be according to the State obligatory standards of Republic of Kazakhstan. DER data should be available through the Internet, accessible both on line and off line.
