FEATURES OF TEACHING COMPUTER MODELING IN INFORMATICS LESSONS

Abstract

Modern education is characterized by increased attention to the concept of model and methodology of modeling. She uses them in many fields of knowledge, but the study of computer science helps students to gather their knowledge of models into a common system and consciously apply them in their educational and practical activities. As the current task of learning is to update the content and obtain a new quality of result, the role of teaching computer modeling is becoming particularly important and has a priority ability to ensure the effectiveness of education in all its elements. The purpose of the article: is to identify the methodological features of teaching computer modeling in computer science lessons. Research methods: theoretical − analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological sources to substantiate the relevance, determining the place of the topic "Modeling" in the school course of computer science; generalizations to identify methodological features of teaching modeling in computer science lessons. An analysis of the high school computer science curriculum in the context of the topic revealed that the study of modeling in general and computer modeling, in particular, is included in the school computer science curriculum. An analysis of current computer science textbooks for high school students has shown that the topics of "Modeling" and "Computer Modeling" are presented quite concisely. There are three types of tasks in the teaching of computer modeling: to obtain the necessary information and formulate conclusions according to the given model of the object; develop a model of a real object based on data about it; perform the simulation process on a computer.
