Integration of adaptive mobile educational environment into the educational process and evaluation of its effectiveness

Abstract

The article considers the peculiarities of the use of computer technologies in the educational process of higher education institutions, in the system of mobile learning, the main idea of which is the implementation of the educational process based on the use of mobile phones. The content of the article is a continuation of the previous work of the author, dedicated to the design of high-tech adaptive mobile educational environment; development of the general functional structure of the adaptive mobile educational environment, definition of features of its application. The paper presents the results of the introduction of an adaptive mobile educational environment in the learning process, demonstrates research on the effectiveness of the mobile educational system based on student surveys. According to the results of the survey, the expediency of using a mobile educational environment when students study the discipline "Expert Systems" of the bachelor's degree program 122 "Computer Science" and a positive attitude to the automated system of analysis of practical tasks. Based on the obtained results, a system of adaptive mobile educational environment for integration into the learning process is proposed. The user interface of the mobile application from the teacher and student is given. The main screens of the mobile application are shown, where respectively for each role of users (student and teacher) the calendar is displayed differently, according to the registered events. It is proved that the dynamics of improving the learning process is positive, because the system of adaptive educational environment affects all stages of the initial process. Due to constant access to the materials of the discipline, the ability to improve assessment through additional tasks, as well as, if necessary, quick communication with the teacher, the system helps to master, to grasp the materials better, which in turn has a positive effect on students' final grades. In addition to the main functionality, which is aimed at studying the discipline in the mobile application, there is also an opportunity for communication between students of the group, for communication between students and the teacher, as well as a screen for displaying system notifications. To conduct research using qualitative methods, a methodological survey on the UXReality platform was used. According to the results of qualitative research methods, motivational aspects of respondents' behavior and personal expectations from using the system of adaptive mobile educational environment were revealed. To test the convenience of working with a mobile application, the study used the so-called neurotest with the use of eye tracking technology. In the process of research the correctness of the chosen direction of research is proved, which confirms the practical implementation of the system of adaptive mobile educational environment in the learning process.
