STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMIZING THE PROCESS OF STUDENTS' ASSIMILATION EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL FROM THE SCHOOL COURSE “INFORMATICS”

Abstract

The modern school course “Informatics” operates in conditions of constant transformation of content, caused by the rapid development of digital technologies and changing requirements for educational outcomes. At the same time, the educational process is increasingly characterized by a gap between the volume and complexity of educational material and the real possibilities of its effective assimilation by students. This is manifested in the fragmentation of knowledge, superficial understanding of key concepts and difficulties in applying the acquired skills in practical situations.

The purpose of the research is to scientifically search and adapt strategies for optimizing the process of learning educational material from the course “Informatics”, which would ensure an increase in the effectiveness of students' educational activities and their successful achievement of the requirements set by the state for school graduates.

The article uses general theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretization, systematization and generalization, etc.

The article reveals the main stages of the process of knowledge acquisition by a student, which are capable of providing a full cycle of educational and cognitive actions in studying the educational material of the school course “Informatics”: perception, comprehension, generalization and consolidation of knowledge.

To increase the efficiency of the first stage of the process of students' assimilation of knowledge of the school course “Informatics”, the teacher is suggested to take into account the rule “7 ± 2” and strategies for increasing the efficiency of reading.

To increase the efficiency of the second, third and fourth stages of the process of students' assimilation of knowledge of the school course “Informatics”, a number of strategies are identified that focus on both the teacher's and students' activities.

Special attention is paid to the process of forgetting new educational material in computer science by a student. It is determined that it is characterized by the G. Ebbinghaus forgetting curve and the G. Ebbinghaus forgetting curve with repetitions. For effective memorization of educational information, two repetition schemes are proposed. Proposed recommendations that will ensure effective organization of repetition of educational material in Informatics lessons.
