Abstract

The article outlines the mail ideas of teaching  methodology problem  solving that  formulated  by G. Polya. It is shown how the skills to solve problems  is associated  with modern  educational results. Examples of using analysis and synthesis method for drawing up plans for solving informatics problems  (puzzles "Transfusion" and  "Tower of Hanoi", asks counting  programs  for a computer runner  Evaluator, on counting  number  of paths  in a graph, on building a winning strategy) are given.

Abstract

The article deals with the concept  of "information model", which is widely used in informatics courses. Various points of view on this concept in educational, scientific and methodical  literature  are considered. The publication  reflects the personal  experience  of the author  of teaching  the course "Computer modeling" in South Ural State University of Humanities and Education.

Abstract

The  article describes  the  components of the  model  of extracurricular  activities using robotic  equipment and  programming environments: aim, content, methodological and  control  and  evaluation. This model  can be used  in the  organization  of extracurricular activities with students of 5–8th  grades.

Abstract

The article analyzes the real state  of student training in the subject  area "Informatics" and substantiates the need  to increase the attention of teachers  and authors  of textbooks  to the  section  "Computer Hardware and Software", which has important didactic and applied  importance. The solution of this task is based  on the development and implementation of the elective course "Computer Architecture" for students in grades 10–11 of information and technological  or physical and mathematical profiles. A significant part of the course is devoted to learning the basics of programming on low-level languages. Software and methodical  support  for the course includes a target  unit, thematic  planning, a fund of assessment tools (diagnostic tasks, tests, interview questions, topics for educational projects), theoretical information, and task material for laboratory work.

The course features are multi-format work with students, providing for the implementation of educational projects, organization  of role games, students’ learning and research activities in solving individual tasks. It is proposed to widely use public educational Web 2.0 services (Tiki-Toki.com, Google services, LearningApps.org and  etc.) as methodological support. Particular attention is paid to the  study  of low-level machine-oriented programming language  Assembler. Students  solve special tasks using the  analogy  with the  algorithmic  structures  of high-level languages, learn to compose, translate, and test a program  in the specified language.

The presented methodical  solutions were successfully tested  in real educational practice.

Abstract

The article describes  the results of the study of the informatics course for primary school. The author  pays special attention to the relationship between informatics  and  basic instrumental literacy.  Based on  previously published  works on  the  development of the  skills of receiving and transmitting  information  among  younger  schoolchildren,  the author  suggests  a typology of tasks. The article also provides  examples  of the implementation of such developments. In particular, the article presents  some versions of the tasks included  in the "Informatics for All" series of textbooks  and also outlines  the prospects  for the development of the study.

Abstract

The article discusses the main arguments of supporters and opponents of using wearable  means  of access to the Internet by students while they are in an educational organization.  The main type of such means  of access today  is a smartphone and, accordingly, mobile Internet access that  is not  controlled  within the  educational organization.  This is not  to say that  the  representatives of the  new generation are better  at using Internet access tools and  network  activity skills than  adults. Rather, we can say that  for them,  for various reasons, this is the  main activity and a means  of socialization. Based on this, we will consider  this problem.  The bases  and  consequences of using smartphones and  other  means  of access to the Internet as the main activity of modern  students, as well as possible ways for students to develop  a culture of using smartphones for educational purposes  are determined.
