IT vertical: concept and implementation of studying information technologies in basic school

Abstract

The article presents a description of the concept and model for the study of information technologies at the level of basic general education in the context of the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standards. Based on the example of the implementation of the project in grades VII—IX of general education organizations in Moscow, the content of the educational trajectory of a teenager is revealed, taking into account the request for early profiling in the field of "Informatics and information technologies". Features of the educational trajectory are implemented through a special bilingual programming course, new content of the course of technology (with the inclusion of special sections on mechatronics, technologies for creating digital twins, electronics and circuit design) and an ecosystem of extracurricular activities courses in forms specific to software developers. A feature of studying informatics and physics at an advanced level is the presence of interdisciplinary cases using digital laboratories. Mechanisms and tools for integrating specialized knowledge on current issues in the IT industry into the educational program are presented. A special place is occupied by the issues of creating the necessary infrastructure for the implementation of the project: material and technical base, personnel training and methodological support of the project. The unique functional and didactic capabilities of digital tools for active immersion of schoolchildren in the process of mastering the content of the educational program are presented. Examples of author's assignments are given for developing the skills of schoolchildren, diagnosing and monitoring acquired knowledge.
