DESIGN AND APPROBATION OF THE MODEL OF EDUCATION CONTENT DEVELOPMENT FOR DIGITAL EDUCATION PLATFORMS ACCORDING TO ACTIVITY-BASED APPROACH

This article considers the issue of putting together educational content on digital educational platforms according to activity-based approach to education defined by works of L. S. Vygotsky, P. Y. Galperin, A. N. Leontiev, V. V. Davydov and their followers. The results of cooperative development of the content model and content itself on the example of middle-school mathematics are presented. The teachers’ and students’ perceptions of the developed materials are analyzed in terms of their recognizability, difference from the usual materials, and time consumption. In addition, the teachers’ perception of the usefulness of the materials, their opportunities for use in the educational process, and their potential impact on educational outcomes are investigated. Differences in the students’ and teachers’ perception of problem-oriented content in computer form are revealed: teachers perceive them as familiar, standard, relying, apparently, solely on the form, while students characterize the materials as unusual and rarely used, presumably paying attention to the content and context of the tasks. Speaking of probable outcome and usability, teachers rate presented content mostly positive. Most teachers consider it as a tool for the preparation for Olympiads and training for solving complex problems. However, respondents note the negative aspects of using the electronic form as such, associated with the shift of students’ attention from the content to the very organization and appearance of tasks, as well as the non-obviousness of the essence of elements of the subject content due to the non-standard character of tasks and a large amount of contextual information.
