Abstract:
The following study is devoted to a particular didactic question i.e. the way increasing the e-textbook visuals efficiency in order to stimulate students’ cognitive processes and to increase the perceptions of knowledge. The field of study is the information and educational environment of a military university; the object is the use of electronic textbooks when teaching ecology; the subject is the design of visual information models for ecology e-textbooks. The methodological basis of the study is the theory of instrumental didactics (V.E.Steinberg, N.N. Manko) originated from the ideas of P. Ya. Halperin (about the tentative bases of actions) and N.F. Talyzina (on the management of knowledge assimilation processes). The statistical reliability of the pedagogical experiment results is confirmed using the Mann – Whitney criterion. The types of cognitive visualization tools used in the content of electronic textbooks on military ecology have been clarified. The study proposes some methodological recommendations to design didactic models for the e-textbooks content, as well to design case studies to be included into the students’ educational and cognitive activities. The study facts may be of interest to teachers designing original e-textbooks, as well as for any person contributing the educational environment information culture.
