Modeling objects movement when collising with obstacles in PascalABC.NET language in schoolchildren's project activities

Abstract

To solve the methodological problem of expanding the content of school informatics textbooks in terms of practical tasks, assignments for project work can be used, which are completed by students individually or in groups. Carrying out project work that involves the application of knowledge from other subject areas contributes to the development of meta-subject skills in students. The use of group work as the main form of performing practical tasks is aimed at achieving personal learning results. The project-activity approach helps to achieve the planned learning outcomes in the section of the informatics course under consideration. The article discusses assignments in the "Beginnings of programming" section of the VIII grade informatics course, which can be offered for students' project activities to create graphical and information models and when conducting a computer experiment. Based on the implementation of gradually more complex examples, students are introduced to project-type tasks — modeling the movement of objects when collising with obstacles. The software implementation of the models is carried out in the PascalABC.NET language.
