The effect of using e-learning tools based on visualization in teaching and learning latin

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of using visualization in teaching and learning Latin. Both positive and negative implementation aspects of a classic didactic principle of visualization are analyzed in terms of e-learning. The experimental research aimed to carry out the system of pedagogical impact by means of e-learning tools based on visualization and evaluate the effect of using such tools on teaching and learning Latin. The ways to minimize didactic risks that may result from inappropriate (from psychological and educational points of view) use of visual aids in e-learning tools are outlined. The necessity to keep up with the demand for reasonable visualization sufficiency is shown. The pedagogical experiment has proved the advantage using of e-learning tools based on visualization in learning Latin by following criteria: motivation (indicators: focus and level of academic motivation), cognition (indicators: quality and amount of knowledge, academic performance), activity (indicators: mastering practical skills, speed of execution of training tasks). The results of the pedagogical experiment (including the comparison of the results of the experimental and control groups) give the grounds to state that training veterinary students with using e-learning tools based on visualization is more effective than the traditional one.
