Digital Visualization Tools in Training Students of Economic Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The study is devoted to the issue of improving the quality of training of students of economic universities using visualization tools for educational material. The importance for future economists of the ability to formalize economic problems is emphasized. An important role is given to graphical models as a means of visualizing quantitative data. t is noted that within the framework of mathematical training, students of economic universities study the basics of differential and integral calculus, which, in turn, allows them to explore, analyze and interpret a wide range of graphical models. The advantages of digital technologies for the visualization of educational material and the study of dynamic economic and mathematical models in the process of mathematical training of students of an economic university are considered. The capabilities of the MS Excel spreadsheet processor and the Python programming language are demonstrated, which make it possible to formalize specific economic problems and perform an intra-model solution. An online survey of students of economic universities in the city of Omsk was conducted on the problematic aspects of using digital tools for visualizing economic and mathematical models. The findings indicate the need for further development of integrative links between the disciplines of the subject areas “Economics”, “Mathematics”, “Computer Science and Information Technology” in the context of the digitalization of modern society.
