REALIZATION OF THE DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF DESIGN ACTIVITY ON INFORMATICS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF COOPERATION OF A SCHOOL - PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Project activity with the introduction of new federal state educational standards (GEF) is considered an integral and important part of basic general education. Competence-based approach assumes that the development of a student's personality is not limited to obtaining a fixed set of knowledge, training of several key skills. The student must obtain experience related to subject and meta-subject competencies. A natural mechanism for obtaining such experience in the context of resource constraints (in time, financing, technological base) is an educational project. The educational field of computer science represents a wide range of opportunities for the organization of project activities of students. However, in practice, the most frequent options are abstract works, presentations that compile facts that have already been studied, the repetition of foreign developments with minor variations. Among the main reasons for the current situation are: excessive employment of teachers, the range of their interests limited to standard tasks, the inability to get support from those parents who do not use information technology in their work. The recommended and logical way out of this situation seems to be the cooperation of the school with other organizations, in particular with universities. In this case, the choice for the interaction of a pedagogical university has a number of advantages (established relations with teachers, bilateral interest in results, etc.), which are discussed in detail in the article. The theoretical assumptions outlined in the work found their practical confirmation within the framework of various cooperation mechanisms between the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of the Samara State Socio-Pedagogical University (SSSPU) and schools of the city of Samara. Some examples of practical results obtained are also given in the article.
