Abstract

The paper discusses an approach for acquainting fourth grade university students in informatics with various tools and methods of teaching informatics at school. The language Logo is used as an universal tool for:

(1)
introducing one variant of school informatics curriculum;
(2)
introducing some basic notions, principles and methods of informatics and a number of tools and specific approaches for their explanation and clarification;
(3)
demonstrating a variety of applications of computers in different fields: mathematics, language, drawing, music, physics, biology, history, etc.;
(4)
developing a sophisticated programming environment corresponding to the problem being solved and the specific users' needs;
(5)
demonstrating some basic principles of developing educational software, passing through all the phases of the software life cycle;
(6)
applying artificial intelligence methods and tools when developing and using educational software.

The students get self-confidence both as teachers in informatics and as educational software designers. So they can step towards a new pedagogy in a rich computerized learning environment.

学校信息学教学的工具和方法:高级Logo课程

本文探讨了一种使大学四年级学生熟悉学校信息学教学的各种工具和方法的方法。Logo语言作为一种通用工具:(1)介绍学校信息学课程的一种变体;(2)介绍信息学的一些基本概念、原理和方法，以及解释和阐明这些概念的一些工具和具体方法;(3)展示计算机在不同领域的各种应用;数学、语言、绘画、音乐、物理、生物、历史等;(4)根据所要解决的问题和用户的具体需求，开发出一个复杂的编程环境;(5)展示教育软件开发的一些基本原理，贯穿软件生命周期的各个阶段;(6)在开发和使用教育软件时应用人工智能的方法和工具。学生们获得了作为信息学教师和教育软件设计者的自信。因此，他们可以在丰富的计算机化学习环境中迈向新的教学方法。
