The historical perspective provides an overview of how to study flowcharts in a school informatics course. Computer applications and Internet services are considered that automate the development of flowcharts. It is shown how 3D technologies can help an informatics teacher in preparing 3D models for the study of flowcharts.
The new Federal State Educational Standards of General Education pay special attention for extracurricular activities of schoolchildren. The article substantiates the possibility and expediency of using 3D modeling and 3D printing technologies to increase the effectiveness of extracurricular project activity of schoolchildren; offers an approach to training using the technology of computer 3D modeling; considers the relationship of teaching methods and the use of 3D modeling technology in the framework of extracurricular project activities of students.
TEACHING PRACTICES
The article deals with the issues related to the choice of programming language for initial training in programming at school. The choice of Python as the main programming language in the basic course of informatics in grades 7–9 is justified. The characteristics of Python whose allow to recommend it for initial programming training in school are described. The article also presents the results of a survey of informatics teachers who have been teaching programming on Python for several years at informatics lessons in grades 7–9.
The article considers the algorithm for plotting functions in a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. A method is described for converting coordinates from a natural system to a screen system. The algorithm is implemented in the programming language PascalABC.NET. The necessary information about the graphical tools of the language is presented, the program code with detailed explanations is given. A distinctive feature of the method is the use of visual and easily calculated parameters for scaling the graph.
The article discusses the change in the content and methods of teaching informatics in connection with the need for learners to study modern mobile and cloud technologies. The choice of a particular teaching method is associated with the specific content of the educational material and the didactic task that is solved during its development. Together, the methods form a system on the basis of which the informatics training methodology was built and tested that meets the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard on the content and educational results achieved. The results of experimental research work are presented, confirming the possibility and expediency of studying mobile and cloud technologies within the framework of a school informatics course.
ИНФОРМАТИЗАЦИЯ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ
The article presents the experience of developing and implementing a system for improving the quality of informatics training in the framework of the information and educational environment. The main purpose of the system is to improve the quality of education in regional educational institutions in the conditions of shortage of human and material resources.
