Abstract

Introduction. Nowadays, studying is impossible without the involvement of information resources that are undergoing significant evolution. Therefore, the support of the educational process at all levels is realized, in particular, by means of the usage of modern electronic educational resources. In this article, we are focusing on such electronic educational resources as Matific, TEDm, LearningApps, which may and should be used in the methodological training of the future mathematics teachers. Purpose of the article is to characterize the advantages and disadvantages of the mentioned electronic educational resources in the context of their application in students' solving interactive educational and methodical problems (EMP). Methods. Theoretical analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of introducing electronic educational resources into the practice of teaching methodical disciplines, comparison, generalization and systematization were used. Empirical systematization and generalization of the best pedagogical experience in relation to the problematic issues also formed the basis of the used methods. Results. Matific, TED-m, LearningApps are powerful educational resources to teach students to solve and create interactive EMPs by themselves. In this way, the praxeological and activity approach to the blended teaching the disciplines during students' professional preparation is realized. Each of these resources has its advantages and disadvantages. Leading position in this context belongs to LearningApps.org service. It is free, it has a «friendly» interface (you just have to select the checkbox in the upper right corner), it gives you the ability to use different languages and exchange interactive tasks. In addition, the task can be created and edited online using different templates. Many templates support work with pictures, sound and video. An opportunity is given to check the propriety of the task «here and now». You can get a reference to send by e-mail or code to embed in a blog or site, and on a Wiki-page. However, there are also some difficulties (inconvenience) that arise in working with this service. Some templates do not support Cyrillic. There are some errors in templates that cannot be corrected manually. It is impossible to integrate the formula into the exercise; it must be stored in a certain format. Some templates of exercises are changed or removed from the site. There are some inaccuracies in statements of teaching and methodological tasks presented on the service. There are a lot of tasks that foresee the simple reproduction of knowledge without their comprehension. Conclusion. The research proved that e-learning resources Matific, TED-m, LearningApps may and should be used for creating and solving interactive teaching-methodical tasks by students in the process of studying of methodological disciplines. It is necessary to take into account the specifics of the construction and functioning of each of them. In this way, the praxeological and activity approach in the methodical training of the future mathematics teachers is realized. The future specialist receives not only theoretical knowledge about the use of EAA in the practice of teaching students, but also creates his own experience when applying these resources at different stages of the educational process.
