PROBLEMS IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS AND INFORMATICS IN GENERAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AND METHODS FOR SOLVING THEM
Keywords:
mathematics, computer science, teaching methodology, challenges, interactive learning, problem-based learning, gamification, STEAM.Abstract
This article analyzes the main challenges in teaching mathematics and
computer science in general education schools. Students’ low performance, methodological
and pedagogical difficulties, as well as the insufficient infrastructure and resources of
schools are examined. Scientifically-based solutions are proposed, including problem-based
learning, project-based methods, gamification, visualization, and continuous professional
development for teachers. The research results contribute to the development of students’
logical and analytical thinking skills, enhance the interactivity and effectiveness of lessons,
and improve performance in national and international assessments.
