| dc.description.abstract | In nowadays we have much kind of problems in the system of higher education. Actually there are a lot of reasons. But in this thesis I will explain only one reason. Only one but in my opinion it is one of the main reasons. Students especially in our university everyday get very huge amount of information. Every student can take up to 8-9 courses in one semester. During one day student will have to go to 5 - 6 lessons. From every lesson he will have to read at least one chapter. It will take about 1 - 2 hour to read chapter and to understand it. So you can see that it will take very big amount of time for a student to understand all lessons and it will be very hard for him/her to do everything in time. But this is only one side of a coin. According to a Soviet Union system of education. Student has to read very much if he wants to learn some topic. He reads a lot of information about the things that are concerned with his topic. This is a good practice but unfortunately not now. Because now it is information age. Information is increased every day. And it is not possible to know everything. Especially this is true for information technologies sphere where new technologies are developed every day. The thing that you learned yesterday may be not needed tomorrow because it will be old and new technologies will come and you will have to relearn again. So what can we do in this situation? We can use the microlearning method which is very popular now in the world. The main principle of this method is to divide one huge complex information into many small pieces and try to make them as easy as possible. Leave only main parts, only necessary things and try to give more good examples. This makes work very easy. You can learn a small part of information in 15 minutes and then practice it. And in this way you learn step by step until you will learn everything at all. Now when you know enough about this topic you can deal with complex things related to your topic. Because you are aware of what it is about. You have so called fundament. Let me show an example. Say you want to learn what Computer Networks is. We have many books that explain you what is this Science about. But most of these books are very huge and sometimes boring books. Instead many people are making search request in Google and find good tutorials for them. For example w3schools.com. Why? Because it will take about 20-30 minutes for you to understand the main principle of Computer Networks without going into details. If you want to learn more about this topic, ] mean if you want to learn some specific or more detailed information about it, then you can read a book. And because it has exhaustive examples that can teach you a lot. Also it is very good to memorize this topic. Now I will try to explain my idea more clearly. | |
