SOFTWARE MEANS OF VISUALIZATION OF TOPOLOGICAL CONCEPTS
Abstract
The article discusses software means of visualization of topological concepts from the perspective of the dual imaging interpretations as an auxiliary tool in the classroom and as a means of forming metasubject knowledge to ensure the implementation of a continuous educational process in the conditions of informatization trends in modern educationInformation visualization is not just an important part of the educational process, but it is an integral part of it. This motivated is to consider the possibility of using visualization as a means of forming metasubject knowledge. To achieve this goal, we consider the provision of information in form of a treegraph, also known as the method of mind map, developed by Tony Buzan to best perception and memorizing information. In the article we review the basic software for creating mind maps, in terms of tools and basic features. By combining the concept of presenting the material in a structured way with metasubject concepts, including topological, we get together a method of studying the curriculum at different stages of its formation and the method metasubject knowledge. From this perspective, we consider such concepts as “continuity”, “coherence”, “set”, etc., which are not only metasubjectial, but also topological.
