Interaktivna multimedija u nastavi matematike

Abstract

This PhD thesis presents the benefits and importance of using multimedia in the math classes using selected examples of multimedia lessons from isometric transformations, regular polyhedral and definite integral. The research presented in the thesis was carried out among 150 first year students of the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Civil Construction Management and the Faculty of Entrepreneurial Business of the UNION "Nikola Tesla" University, Belgrade, Serbia. Each group of 50 students was divided into two equal groups of students, one of which had the traditional lectures, while the other one had the interactive multimedia lessons. All three topics were presented to students of the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Civil Construction Management while only definitive integral was presented to students of the Faculty of Entrepreneurial Business. The main source of information in multimedia lectures were the software’s created in Macromedia Flash, with the same definitions, theorems, examples and tasks as well as in traditional lectures but with emphasized visualization possibilities, animations, illustrations, etc. Both groups were tested after the lectures. In the multimedia groups students showed better theoretical, practical and visual knowledge. Besides that, survey carried out at the end of the research clearly showed that students from multimedia groups were highly interested in interactive multimedia learning.
