Information Technology in Multicultural Educational Environment: Teaching Art Students Fractal Geometry

Published:21 January 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the challenges of learning in multicultural educational environment. It proposes approaches of using information technology tools such as on-line internet resources, mobile devises, mobile programs for calculations etc. in international students groups for teaching art students fractal geometry. Some exercises for easy comprehension of such mathematical concepts as self-similarity, iterative process, recursion, convergent and divergent sequences, infinite sequences are designed. The paper considers the phenomenon of using technology as medium of instruction in the international students groups. The challenge of considering and using the means of information technology when developing pedagogical tools, techniques and approaches to teach students in multicultural educational environment is posed.
