  The meeting Researches in Didactics of Mathematics and Computer Sciences was held in Novi Sad, Serbia from the 23th to the 25th of January, 2015 at the University of Novi Sad. It was organized by the PhD School of Mathematics and Computer Sciences of the University of Debrecen and the Department of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of Novi Sad.
  The 70 participants – including 42 lecturers, and 18 PhD students – came from 9 countries, 28 cities and represented 40 intstitutions of higher education.

  In this study, I will introduce how Algorithm Visualizations (AV) can help programming education or, in this case, the acquisition of basic programming theorems. I used two di erent methods to test this: in the first round, I examined in a larger group how much the students' ability to solve specific tasks changes after being introduced to a visualization tool, and then, what was their motivation and experience during this process. In the second round, I looked for the components that could be important when choosing a tool with the help of an in-depth interview with a smaller number of individuals. In both cases, I describe the research, experience, and results of the study, and then summarize them at the end.

  This paper deals with the examination of the programming patterns best known by programmers: the programming theorems. It is a significant issue that in what way these patterns can be formulated in order to solve a relatively broad spectrum of problems using a small number of patterns. In this paper, the well known programming theorems are applied to the processing of enumerators. To this end, the robustness of patterns gained this way will be presented, and it will be also pointed out how the programs thus constructed can be implemented in the modern object-oriented programming environments: in language C++, Java and C#.

  "Take the textbook to computer" – is said quite often. Would it be so easy? If we start such a work, we meet a lot of trouble very soon. A book stored on a CD, read on the screen of computer and containing some hyperlinks does not become automatically electronic textbook. There are difficulties also in writing merely an electronic attachment to a classical book. In this paper, we deal with some important features (actually important from our point of view) of interactive mathematics textbooks, arising mathematical, didactical and technical problems. The "principles" are illustrated with examples taken from the book-CD "Models of Impulsive Phenomena".

  Algorithmic thinking is a valuable skill that all people should master. In this paper we propose a one-semester, algorithm-oriented computer science course for human science students. According to our experience such an initiative could succeed only if the next recipe is followed: interesting and practical content + exciting didactical methods + minimal programming. More explicitly, we suggest: (1) A special, simple, minimal, pseudo-code like imperative programming language that integrates a graphic library. (2) Interesting, practical and problem-oriented content with philosophical implications. (3) Exciting, human science related didactical methods including art-based, inter-cultural elements.

  Computers, informatics, and information technology have an ever-increasing role in the establishment and spread of new educational forms and methods. The role of e-learning as a new educational model is increasing in the world of computer networks, because of a widespread access to the net and a growing demand for learning beside work.
  Technological elements of e-learning can be separated as Learning Management System, authoring system, course material and a browser. Learning Management System is the software package that creates the structure of the whole educational process: course organisation, course material presentation, tracking student work, recording results, and the completion of the program.
  This publication shows examples of Learning Management Systems used in Hungarian higher education. Summarizing and systematizing expectations and demands expressed in connection with learning management systems, the present work tries to help the reader orientate on an ever-expanding market.
