Information technologies postgraduate R. Liucvaikiene’s paper “Research and construction of educational modeling software for plants growing ”. Information technologies postgraduate study program, computerized teaching specialization. Work leader: doc. K.Baniulis, Kaunas, 2008. Paper size: 57 pages, 11 tables, 18 pictures, 9 literature and 22 internet resources were used. The aim of the research to create computer modeling tool, which could be flexibly and creatively used teaching/learning plant-growing subject. In order to reach the aim of the research functional and non-functional requirements were analyzed, educational computer tool “The Factors Influencing Plants’ Growing” was projected and realized and the experiment research was done. After analyzing similar programs, the requirements for creative plant-growing educational tool were set: easily implemented; no big requirements for technical and software equipments; easily used, tolerant to consumers mistakes; interactive possibility to a student is made to become an active action participant. The tool includes plant-growing theory and examples of practical tasks, self-control and checking tests, implemented laboratory works and virtual experiment. Plant -growing teaching/learning program can be used by profession teachers and students while learning plant-growing subject. While projecting the tool information technologies were used how to release projecting and programming processes and various other problems. Good projecting, programming and documentation experience gained during studies was used. Macromedia Flash, Adobe Dranwever, JavaScript, etc. After doing the experiment it was found out that this tool has a lot of good features (interactive, easily used, etc), which are very attractive to consumers, improves the checking of knowledge and skills. The results of the research approved the hypothesis, that ICT can supply new, modern and active education methods, which stimulate the formation of construction skills, creativity, ability to express oneself. |
