ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ GRAPHIC COMPETENCE FORMATION USING COMPUTER-ORIENTED TEACHING TOOLS

Abstract

The article deals with the topical issue of elementary school students’ graphic competence formation using computer-oriented teaching tools. In today’s digital world, where information is presented in various graphic formats, graphic competence is an essential skill for elementary school students. Graphic competence involves the ability to understand, create, and analyze graphics using computer technology. The main aspects of elementary school students’ graphic competence formation through the usage of computer-oriented teaching tools have been determined. Modern approaches to teaching graphic skills and their influence on the educational process are considered. The practical aspects of the implementation of computer-oriented teaching tools for improving students’ graphic competence are highlighted. It is noted that graphic training during primary school education is crucial for students’ future education, as it lays the foundations for the basics of graphic literacy. However, one of the main shortcomings in the educational process related to the study of graphic disciplines is the lack of unity in teaching methods between secondary and higher schools. It is considered that computer-based teaching tools represent a wide range of technological tools and programs designed to facilitate and facilitate learning through the usage of computers. These tools can be successfully implemented in the educational process at all levels, from primary school to higher education. They cover a wide range of technologies and methodologies, including learning software, interactive exercises, video tutorials, virtual reality, and more. It is determined that augmented reality technology opens up new opportunities for improving elementary school students’ graphic competence. It facilitates the visualization of educational material, ensures the active participation of students in learning, and promotes the graphic content creation. The usage of AR can be a significant step in improving the quality of education and developing the graphic skills of a new generation.
