Design and Application of Wise Tasks as a Technology of Productive Learning
Abstract
The article examines the pedagogical potential of digital educational resources such as Wise Tasks and their role in implementing productive learning technologies. The relevance of the study stems from the widespread practice of using digital tools primarily for organizing the learning process or knowledge assessment, which often leads to a passive role for students and limits the development of their research and creative activity. The paper analyzes the limitations of such approaches and substantiates the need to create educational environments in which students act not only as consumers of ready-made tasks and solutions, but also as active participants in their formulation and development. As a solution, the use of formalized means for representing subject area problems and digital tools that allow for the automatic verification of solutions to constructive tasks is proposed. This approach is implemented in resources like Wise Tasks, where the learner can experiment with different solution methods, test hypotheses, and formulate new problems. Using the example of developing an educational resource on graph theory, it is shown how such systems can support the “learning by teaching” technology, develop algorithmic and computational thinking, and engage students in the collaborative development of learning materials and software modules. The obtained results demonstrate that the use of such digital environments contributes to a deeper mastery of the discipline’s content and the formation of research skills.
