Information technologies in math education: pro et contra

摘要

The article considers the necessity, importance and practicability of the digital technologies used in the math education. The purpose of the analysis is to identify the advantages, disadvantages and risks of using digital technologies in the math education. The article includes a review of publications on using digital technologies in education. It is emphasised that in recent years the students' culture of mathematical speech, especially oral, has deteriorated. The students were interviewed to identify the influence of information technology on the math education. The survey was organised among the students and graduates of Yelets State University named after I.A. Bunin and Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev. According to the survey results, digital learning will have a positive effect on students' motivation, but just for a moment. The comparison of the survey results demonstrates that the students are not interested in the subject of math, but in the form of material presentation, not in the content of the material presented, but in the dynamics of the presentation, i.e. in what is not related to the math education.
