Integration is of particular importance for school informatics, which is significantly influenced by digitalization of modern society. Some areas of digitalization can be highlighted in particular: the expansion of the network of additional education institutions equipped with modern digital equipment for teaching children how to work with it; providing conditions for mastering new digital professions; developing basic digital competencies, etc. Modern school informatics has a number of shortcomings, which determines the need to reform content of the discipline and forms of content presentation. Such a reform involves a targeted integration of basic and additional information technology education, which allows to significantly enrich its educational and developmental potential. At the same time, the following conditions must be taken into account: providing access to modern equipment and technologies; continuity and consistency in the construction of programs and methods of basic and additional education; implementation of convergent solutions within the content and methodological support of school disciplines; symbiosis of technologies and programs of these disciplines.One of the ways for integrating basic and additional school education is the development of methodological support for programs of basic and additional education for “IT cube” kid’s digital education centers, “Point of Growth” education centers, “Quantorium” kid’s technoparks on the basis of educational organizations. In accordance with the project ideology, the educational areas (“Python programming”, “Mobile development”, “VR/AR development”, “Robot programming”, “System administration”, “Cyber hygiene and Big Data”, “Fundamentals of programming in Java”, “Fundamentals of algorithmics and logic”, etc.) were focused on supporting the most relevant and wanted competencies of kids in IT sphere, providing the possibility of integrated solutions both within the framework of the actual information technology education, and outside this framework.","PeriodicalId":277237,"journal":{"name":"Informatics and education","volume":"03 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128823654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The teaching of this course is focused on the use of technologies related to the implementation of educational engineering, which has now gone beyond the scope of technical specialties and has spread to the field of training specialists in the field of pedagogical design, design of educational programs and trajectories. Particular attention in this course is paid to the formation of ICT competencies of future teachers in the development of digital products in the process of studying specialized disciplines and elective courses, in particular, such as “Probability theory and mathematical statistics”, “Electronic Perm Educational System”, implemented on the basis of competence oriented, design and engineering approaches. The possibility of accumulation of these approaches in the work of student design workshops in the EPES Library cluster is demonstrated. As a result of the activities of such workshops, a digital educational product (DEP) is supposed to be needed in real learning practice and has prospects for further use by the student already in the role of a teacher after graduation: a lesson script, an electronic test or other educational content. Special tasks for students are characterized, aimed at developing and diagnosing the ICT competence of future mathematics teachers at the Perm Pedagogical University. Usually, the solving of the task includes the following stages: development of annotations, creation of a passport and subject content of the DEP, organization of approbation, presentation, defense and publication of the developed materials in EPES.

The program targets secondary teachers with a strong interest in mathematics or math education (RET) and students who have completed their junior year with coursework appropriate to the research project (REU). The program is designed to engage participants in research problems with a high potential for publication and to create a research experience that broadens participants’ perspective both of mathematics as a discipline and of research (whether mathematical or not) as an exciting exploratory process. During this period the large group of undergraduate students from different US universities and high school math teachers were involved in numerous research projects in pure and applied math, in math education and statistics. Working on the research projects the participants acquire the fundamental mathematical concepts and also studied how to apply modern IT technologies and computational systems for solving various math problems. We provide a research experience that enhances the skills necessary for careers in any of the sciences, while adding both depth and breadth to the participant’s mathematical knowledge, skill, and understanding. The depth comes primarily from participation in a research team working on a potentially publishable research problem, while breadth is added by activities that integrate all research teams, by in-service teacher/undergraduate interactions, and by synergistic activities such as weekly research talks.

Initially a learning system called DeLC (the Distributed e-Learning Center) has been implemented to support blended and independent learning at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at the university. DeLC was a successful project, but we identified some problems, connected with interactions between the virtual and the physical world where in fact the learning process takes place. In the following period, we started the development of ViPS (the Virtual Physical Space) based on concepts of CPSS (Cyber-Physical-Social System) and IoT (Internet of Things). VES is the ViPS adaptation to education. VES is the successor to DeLC, it provides e-learning content and e-learning education services for planning, organizing, and conducting the learning process at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of Plovdiv.VES supports various forms of e-learning such as blended learning, self-paced learning, lifelong learning, inclusive and game-based learning (GBL). The following aspects of VES are essential: 1) users are the focus of attention; 2) physical “things” are virtualized; 3) there is integration between the virtual and the physical worlds. Since ViPS is developed as a CPSS ecosystem, users are the focus of attention. This determines the need to develop personal assistants to participate in the processes of the ViPS space on behalf of and in the interest of users. Three intelligent agents are modeled in VES: an internal educational agent, an external educational agent, and a career consultant. MATE (the Multi-Agent Testing Environment) is a component supported in the ViPS space for training and testing of students in a game-based manner. MATE is a set of autonomous agents, each one of which has responsibilities in the common architecture that arise from training and testing needs.As a CPSS space, VES introduces new approaches and scenarios to solve complex problems in the field of e-learning. VES provides a reference architecture, which can be adapted for various forms of education supported by information and communication technologies.","PeriodicalId":277237,"journal":{"name":"Informatics and education","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115484897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing methods of motivating schoolchildren to increase the level of physical activity do not give the desired result. Physical education classes in school cannot compensate for the movement deficit. During extracurricular hours, most schoolchildren also cannot organize their physical activity independently and choose sedentary types of leisure. One way to tackle the problem is to encourage the use of fitness trackers. The use of fitness trackers allows the teacher to monitor the level of physical activity of schoolchildren, analyze the achievements jointly, and help organize the physical activity of schoolchildren outside the classroom. To solve the problem, the authors of the article have developed two experimental programs of supplementary education for schoolchildren with the use of fitness trackers. The first program involves the regular, supervised use of fitness trackers in animation training. The second program includes training assignments for assembling and testing fitness trackers in the course of programming training. The second program showed higher efficiency. For the statistical assessment of the results of the educational programs implementation, the Wilcoxon T-test was used. The implementation of educational programs led to increase of the level of physical activity of students by 7–15 %.
