ABOUT THE QUESTION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GRAPHIC TRAINING METHODOLOGY FOR STUDENTS

Abstract

The article explores the issues of enhancing students' interest in studying graphic disciplines amidst a decline in the quality of geometry education and a lack of technical drawing preparation at the school level. Drawing from years of observations of students' engagement both in class with instructors and independently throughout the course, the article identifies the challenges in the learning process and their underlying causes. It highlights the role of geometry in fostering creativity, the significance of descriptive geometry among graphic disciplines, and stresses the importance of a deeper understanding of the tasks in the engineering graphics course.

Through examples of geometric problems, the article demonstrates the connection between the quality of school-level graphic training and its qualitative extension into university education, showcasing the modeling capabilities in solid geometry, analytical geometry, and descriptive geometry.

Furthermore, the article emphasizes the crucial role of effectively organizing students' independent work in achieving a high level of knowledge in engineering graphics and the continuous refinement of this approach. In recent years, there has been an intensive search for an effective model of teaching graphic disciplines. It suggests that achieving better results in addressing these challenges can only be possible by stimulating students' interest in the course and deepening their understanding of the tasks. This involves showcasing how visualizing technical problems impacts the efficiency of their solutions, with graphic preparation and visual thinking being essential components. The article proposes a methodology to increase students' interest, including continual improvement of instructional support. It argues for the need to make it more flexible and to activate students' participation in academic circles, where they can deepen their knowledge across all course topics, enhance practical skills in constructing and researching spatial geometric objects, develop algorithms for solving complex geometric problems, and participate in student competitions in graphic disciplines.
