The opinion of employers regarding the advantages, disadvantages and obstacles in the implementation of such a study mode was studied. Several specific issues that need to be resolved in order to effectively implement a dual mode of study in math teacher training have been identified. The obtained results could be used by universities that provide training in pedagogical specialties, experts in the field of education, state authorities and local government organizations that take care of education issues, as well as other specialists interested in the spread of the dual form of obtaining education in Ukraine and abroad.","PeriodicalId":41818,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Informatics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75438732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An approach for classification (up to equivalence) of all such paths is considered. Two closed knight’s paths are called equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by applying one or more of the equivalences: translation, rotation, symmetry, or when the corresponding polygons (whose vertices are the cells visited by the knight), are geometrically congruent. By applying the construction algorithms and classification approach, we enumerate both nonequivalent and non-self-intersecting knight’s paths and show the obtained results. Some pedagogical aspects related to the problems under consideration and the teaching of subjects such as “Programming”, “Algorithms and Data Structures”, “Graph Algorithms” and “Competitive Programming” are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":41818,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Informatics","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136046034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data collection and evaluation of the results was carried out through the qualitative methods of participant observation, interviewing, content analysis and survey card. The article analyzes the state of the researched problem by reviewing the normative base of web design training at school, the scientific and educational literature on the methods of learning through role play and teamwork. A staging of the implementation of an experiment for web design training is presented, describing the general framework for organizing the learning process, the stages of conducting the research, as well as the plot and scenario of conducting. The final results of the research were analyzed on the basis of a discussion with students and data from survey cards. The training, according to the experiment, is in the form of a simulation game and takes place in six academic hours of 40 minutes in three consecutive weeks, passing through four stages. The work of two teams of students with representative roles was studied: manager, web designer, graphic designer, stylist and web programmer. The final product of the role-playing game is the development of a website, and its final result for the learning process is knowledge and skills acquired during the formal training by the teacher and the informal training between the students during their team work.","PeriodicalId":41818,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Informatics","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89760963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
