FORMATION OF SKILLS TO SOLVE TEXT PROBLEMS USING A TABLE PROCESSOR WHEN TEACHING PUPILS IN INFORMATICS
The solution of word problems is an indispensable element of the process of teaching computer science at school. The organization of the solution of the problem through the construction of a structure in a tabular form of the characteristics of phenomena and objects is a relevant and popular way to achieve personal results in students, it makes it possible to demonstrate the connection between the content of educational subjects and practice, the development of logical thinking, the formation of skills to structure and analyze information, and reflect on the results obtained. Solving word problems using a spreadsheet processor allows you to demonstrate the importance of information and communication technologies as a means of achieving results in various subject areas. The process of solving a word problem using a spreadsheet processor can be divided into several stages: analyzing the problem text, translating the conditions of the problem text into tabular form, establishing relationships between the data, directly solving the problem, checking and evaluating the solution result. The possibilities of using a number of methodological techniques are considered: slow reading, brainstorming, conceptual table, cluster, catch an error, changing the initial data, solving an inverse problem, an analytical technique. The techniques are discussed in terms of the features of solving a word problem using a spreadsheet processor and the indicated stages.
