Methodology of formation of modeling skills based on a constructive approach (on the example of geogebra)

Abstract

Author's methodology of forming modeling skills involves 4 steps: Step 1 - the teacher step by step constructs the curve by means of cloud based service GeoGebra; Step 2 - the teacher offers a descriptiondefinition of the curve and provides a ready-made algorithm by which students model the curve independently in GeoGebra; Step 3 - the teacher offers an algorithm for constructing a curve model, and students need to characterize the properties of the curve or give its definition based on the results, Step 4 - students are offered definitions of curves that they have to model in GeoGebra). An example of realization of the author's methodology is given, the pedagogical experiment on proof of its effectiveness is described.
