Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of the article is to identify conditions for the effective use of visual modeling tools that can help reduce the
difficulty level of solving problems during the teaching high school students programming. Visual modeling tools are a
type of software that allows you to create visual abstractions that reproduce concepts and objects of the real world with
their relationships, which can help in solving the problem. In this paper, we focused on preformal models based on
intellect- and concept-maps.
The article gives a classification and describes techniques for using various visual modeling tools to solve problem tasks.
Formed skills of working with such tools will allow students to produce, represent and express independently their
knowledge. In addition, these tools allow structuring the process of solving the problem, optimizing the time for solving
each stage of solving a problem task.
The article presents the results of comparing the learning outcomes of the control and experimental groups, which show
that the proposed visual modeling tools can help in solving the programming problem tasks. |
