The management of technology enhanced study process development at LUA

摘要

This article is the result of the research made in Latvia University of Agriculture (LUA) with the goal to study the possible usage of information communication technologies (ICT) in the studies of mathematics in engineering programs and the basis for that is the Pale's division of ICT usage in education system. The problem has been studied using the analysis of scientific literature, the author's experience reflection and various observations as well as analysis of the results of participation in research and development projects. An empiric research was carried out as well – a questionnaire for the students and lecturers of LUA on the factors determining the organization of study process of mathematics. Thus, according to the results of the research the main emphasis in this paper is put on ICT as a facilitator tool for the intensification of study process in the studies of mathematics development. The intensification includes two essence directions. At first, it includes the minimizing, automatizing or even avoiding at all from so called “non-educational” functions. Secondly, making the learning and studying processes faster, easier, more concentrated, wider and deeper thus providing support in the processes of learning and teaching.
