The Possibilities of Using the Encyclopedia in Introducing Modern Students to the Culture of Academic Writing
Abstract
The article considers the possibility of using a modern electronic encyclopedia in the educational process. It is noted that both teachers and students themselves significantly underestimate the possibilities of tertiary electronic sources, which include digital encyclopedias. The author emphasizes that in the electronic encyclopedia format, the traditional disadvantages of printed tertiary sources and of electronic databases are significantly leveled, while the advantages of both of them are preserved in full. It is noted that modern electronic encyclopedias meet the features of information expectations and attitudes to the educational process that are typical for younger generations today, and can also act as guiding sources for students with a proven basis and rigid structure. Using them in the educational process will contribute to the formation of students' research skills and gradually "force" them to academic work and greatly facilitate the development of academic writing. Turning to electronic tertiary sources as a modern and convenient tool will help in solving such problems of students existing in modern education as the crisis of textual culture, reducing the time of active attention and the erosion of stable motivation. For the most effective use of the electronic encyclopedia as an educational tool and at the same time the gradual formation of analytical reading and academic writing skills, it is recommended to introduce special educational disciplines that act as a kind of educational lot for the development of tertiary electronic sources, acting, in turn, as a lot in the world of science.
