Върху два подхода за преподаване на понятията в курса по компютърна топология

Kalin Georgiev, Dimitrina Stavrova - We consider two approaches for introducing topological notions in a course of Computational Topology. One is an intuitive inductive introduction of a notion; the other is theoretical-analytical one. As an example we treat the notions of interior, closure and boundary of a set in a topological space. We analyze several visual representations as well as analytical ones. Examples of tests and quiz problems are considered. Comparisons of student’s achievement on different type of problems are presented.

Ролевата игра като форма на повишаване на творческата активност на учениците в часовете по информатика

Irina Goranova - The author shares his experience with rising the creativity of students in informatics classes using role-playing games. The paper contains the methods of preparation and taking role-playing games and examples of role-playing games, used in informatics classes.

Върху един клас криви от втора степен

Sava Grozdev, Vesselin Nenkov - By the software THE GEOMETER’S SKETCHPAD some generalizations of a problem from the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2008 are realized.

Основни учебни дейности при обучението по информационни технологии

Kosta Andreev Garov, Stefka Iordanova Aneva, Elena Hristova Todorova - This paper concerns the formulation and systematization of basic educational activities in training in Information Technologies. Educational activities are demonstrated throughout the performance of a specific Information technology lesson. The paper is meant for teachers in Information Technologies.

Реализация на електронно-базирани курсове в магистърска програма за педагози

Daniela Ivanova Dureva–Tuparova In this paper 3 pedagogical scenarios of e-learning courses are performed. The courses have been implemented in blended mode with the students in Master program “ICT in primary schools”. The courses apply different didactical methods such as “Jigsaw” interactive technique, on-line simulations, project based learning, etc. Some results from study of students’ attitude to the used didactical methods and technology enhanced educational activities are presented and discussed.

Аргументиращо мислене в обектно-ориентираното програмиране при изграждането на фундаментални знания за програмирането

Kiril Ivanov - Four criteria for estimating the degree of fundamental programming knowledge acquisition are formulated. The specificity of the proof-oriented thinking in object- oriented programming and its role in the learning of fundamentals are pointed. Two ways of reasoning are distinguished: with an only possible conclusion and with a multiple choice by search of balance between contradictory requirements. Examples of arguments that help considerably the students to understand the basic ideas related to the use of objects and classes in different stages of the software system development are given. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the proof-oriented thinking on the learners’ motivation and hence – on their fundamental knowledge acquisition.

Голяма идея – все още с малка популярност

Bahsen Ismailova-Isufova, Ridvan Isufov - In this paper it is described the birth and the growth during the last 50 years of the idea for the systematization of definitions and theorems based on the activities which can be done with them. Also there are methods to include the personal computers in this activity and to continue the research of the role for extending the heuristics abilities of students.

Играта в обучението по математика в пети клас

Mariana Katcarska, Margarita Todorova - The Didactic game in Mathematics Education is considered as a powerful tool for stimulating pupils to a cognitive activity, for raising the pupils’ interest in mathematics as a science and, in result of this, for easier acquisition of the educational contents. A particular application is also examined.

Използване на системата MATLAB в техническите университети

Mihail Konstantinov, Vladimir Todorov, Galina Pelova, Juliana Boneva - We consider some aspect of the mathematical education in technical universities using MATLAB. Special attention is paid to the subjects Analytical Geometry and Differential Equations.

Компютърна система за обучение по програмиране

Hristo Krushkov, Mariana Krushkova, Victor Atanasov, Margarita Krushkova - The rising of the Bulgarian Higher educational standard is one of the strategic purposes of our country as a member of the European family. The implementation of new scientific methods and modern technological means in the process of education is a precondition for fulfilling this purpose. The study of informatics is making a significant contribution to the creation of a knowledge-based economy. In view of this the informatics has been studied in several departments of the Plovdiv University “Paisii Hilendarski”. However, due to different reasons the majority of the students have difficulties in mastering this discipline. The present report offers an architecture of computer-based system for helping the whole process of education in informatics.

Обектен подход към извънкласната работа по информатика за начинаещи ученици

Neli Maneva, Plamenka Hristova - The paper is devoted to a new approach to the extracurricular activities in Informatics for beginners, 3–5 grade pupils. Only the first step of our approach are described in detail, namely the modeling of the identified so far objects with prime and secondary importance. Some examples of objects are presented through their main characteristics revealing their peculiarities and the level of significance for the achievements of the stated goals for an efficient performance of the activities under consideration.

Характеристични свойства на някои многостени

Plamen Penchev - The origin is a problem from the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad in 1980, which is solved in general and ended to similar variants. Certain characteristic properties of such polyhedra are investigated.

Възможности за реализация на раздела “създаване и публикуване на Интернет страници” в 8 клас

Georgi Tuparov - In the paper basic problems related to implementation of topic “Development and publishing of web pages” are discussed. The topic is part of 8-th grade syllabus in IT for Bulgarian schools. A framework for comparison of software tools for implementation of learning objectives and outcomes is performed. The learning content and several groups of software tools are analysed, according to proposed comparison framework.

Актуальные проблемы школьного математического образования

Tatyana F. Sergeeva - Basic problems of school mathematical education are analysed in the paper and key factors of its development are designed. Experience of productive international cooperation is described – the Bulgarian-Russian project "MITE" in the field of techniques of training in Mathematics, improvement of professional skills of teachers and work with mathematically gifted students.
