Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the methodical features of the use of robotics design in teaching programming in the basic school course of informatics. The authors propose the use of robotics elements in teaching programming in order to create conditions for activity-based, practice-oriented learning, to activate students' educational and research activities, which is relevant in the light of the main directions of national education reform. Scientific publications on the feasibility of using robotics in teaching informatics, in particular in teaching programming and the features of students' design and construction activities as an effective didactic tool for combining theory with practice are analyzed. The generalization of information about existing hardware and software platforms and practical experience with their use in education allowed us to select the Arduino open platform as the basic one, which is compatible with various sensors and components from other manufacturers, which significantly expands the possibilities of diversifying project-based educational tasks. The use of such platforms necessitates the development of methodical and informational support for the teaching practice of informatics teachers in implementing the proposed approach. Therefore, an analysis of the most appropriate methods, organizational forms, software and information learning tools has been performed, which made it possible to improve the existing methodical system for teaching programming, taking into account the integration into teaching of students' design-and- construction activities for creating programs for automatic control of robotic actuators. An example of using the methodic for integrating robotic design into teaching a specific topic, taking into account certain features, is given. The proposed approach helps activate the educational and research activities of students, creating conditions for activity-based, practice-oriented learning.
