Album of animated drawings as an innovative means of teaching algebra in the digital environment of bilingual students

Introduction. Digitalization of education has opened up new opportunities for the development and application of the didactic potential of digital technologies in teaching algebra in the context of bilingualism. This determined the purpose of this work, which is to create a methodological system for teaching algebra to bilingual students and an album of animated drawings in a digital environment. Scientific and pedagogical research focuses on the problem of mathematical training of schoolchildren in the context of bilingualism. From the point of view of improving the quality of education, it is advisable to rely on visual-figurative and associative thinking developed by bilingual students. Materials and methods. The experimental study involved 50 students of the seventh grade of gymnasium No. 5 in the city of Kyzyl, Republic of Tyva (Russian Federation). The methods of comparative analysis of scientific, pedagogical and methodological sources, empirical and statistical methods (Student's t-test) are applied. Results. A methodological system for teaching algebra to bilingual students using an album of animated drawings in a digital environment has been developed. An album of animated drawings is presented, implemented in the form of an electronic training course in the electronic learning system of Tuvan State University and the results of its application in teaching algebra to bilingual students. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that in the absence of statistically significant differences in the control and experimental groups at the time of the initial control, since tэмп = 2,00 < tкр = 2,01, during the final control, tэмп = 2,80 > tкр = 2,01 at the significance level p < 0,05. This indicates that the compared groups are significantly different and the experimental hypothesis about the effectiveness of using an album of animated drawings as an innovative means of teaching seventh grade algebra in the digital environment of bilingual students is confirmed. Conclusion. The use of an album of animated drawings as an innovative means of teaching algebra in the digital environment of bilingual students of the seventh grade of the Republic of Tyva increases the effectiveness of learning by increasing the clarity of algebraic concepts and statements, reducing the amount of non-essential calculations, as well as the use of mechanisms for rapid assessment of learning outcomes using a developed system of bilingual prompts. The proposed learning tool forms and develops an experimental research style of learning.
