Controlling Research Activity of Students by Digital Tools

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of control of creative research work of students under conditions of involuntary distant communication. The aim of this article is to establish interconnection between implementation of the most recent special content and software into learning process and willingness of students for distant research work. It is assumed that a necessary condition for solution to this problem is the optimal assisted and integrated usage of digital resources and programs. This assumption has been verified by the following methods: pedagogical experiment including conversation, consultation and remote graphical support of student activities, sociological questionnaire survey, and parametric analysis of results of student research work. The experimental procedure was comprised of four installed programs, four types of network service, and three content resources. The obtained results demonstrate that the willingness of students to complete research work in a competent manner significantly increased. Another result is that research works of students corresponded to most criteria, except for the requirement of statistic data processing.
