Abstract
The specificities of algorithmic thinking formation for engineer-teachers in the field of computer technologies, that is an important intellectual part of their professional activities, have been determined in the article. The information system AlgoStudy has been created in the programming environment Adobe Flash CS6. Its structural components have been built with the use of Flash animation. The pedagogical software product is some Flash App with the given consistency of footages. The transition between these footages is realized with the help of the navigation in such sections: modeling, algorithms, structure of compliance, structure of branching, and structure of cycle. Hypertext links among parts is realized with the help of programming language commands Action Script. Main stages (organizational, practical, and efficient) of the algorithmic thinking formation have been determined, as well as their characteristics have been showed in the article too. The attention has paid to the creation of teaching material (interactive tasks, modeling tasks and logic games) in the information system AlgoStudy for the preparing of future engineer-teachers in the field of computer technologies on the basics of algorithmization and programming. The special organization of educational process for future engineer-teachers algorithmic thinking formation has been realized. The pedagogical software tool AlgoStudy has been used in experimental groups, and traditional didactical materials have been used in control groups during this process. The calculation of results in these research activities is clear enough to allow to conclusion that the use of the information system AlgoStudy contributes the growth performance of high and sufficient levels for students’ algorithmic thinking formation. The practical value of the study could be useful for algorithmic thinking formation of future professionals on computer specializations in pedagogical and technical institutions of higher education.References
