Survey reveals diverse opinions on digital math games among teachers in Ukrainian schools, suggesting potential use and methodological challenges.
The article discusses the search for ways to optimize the use of digital resources and adapt them to the educational process, taking into account the age characteristics and personal needs of each student, and presents the results of studying the opinion of mathematics teachers on the feasibility and possibility of using digital mathematical games in the educational process. The study was conducted in urban and rural schools of Ukraine in 2024 (sample size - 55 teachers). The survey involved teachers of all ages and levels of school education (primary, basic, specialized). The study found that Ukrainian math teachers are increasingly interested in digital math games, and that some teachers are already using digital math games to develop their students' knowledge, skills, and abilities. However, every fifth teacher does not consider it necessary to use digital game resources in mathematics lessons. It is concluded that today in Ukraine the introduction of digital games in the process of teaching mathematics raises many controversial issues related to various aspects, in particular: determining the goals, place and boundaries of the use of digital didactic games in the educational process; readiness of mathematics teachers to methodically balanced use of digital games in the educational process; conscious choice of software products. In general, there is a tendency to introduce them at different levels of education, but there are still a number of unresolved important issues, including methodological ones.
