The Multimedia Presentation of a Lecture as the Means of Perception, Comprehension, and Memorisation of Educational Information by Students
Abstract
The demand for teachers of Ukrainian universities to create multimedia presentations of lectures and their use in the process of teaching the course “Methodology of teaching mathematics” has been formulated as the result of the experimental research. Taking into account the specificity of the discipline and the peculiarities of the perception, comprehension, and memorisation of educational information by students, what has been determined are the requirements for visual and audio content, for the text presented on presentation slides, and for the design and navigation, and their effectiveness has been experimentally proved. In particular, it has been established that, in order to facilitate students’ perception of educational information, presentation slides should not contain large text arrays. Text slices of presentations should be executed using a certain font, with a certain font size and dominant colours of the headings and main text. To facilitate understanding and memorisation of the content of teaching, the theoretical information should be structured and presented in the form of circuits, tables, diagrams, etc. To stimulate interest in learning, a positive emotional background should be created, and thus a presentation should contain bright colour objects, photographs, and video footage of real mathematics lessons. It is emphasised that, in order to create conditions for the perception, understanding, and memorisation of educational information, presentation design should provide a single style of design and identical compositions of components; for example, image of the same type of information should be in the form of identical elements of “SmartArt.”
