SELECTION OF A SYSTEM OF COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHING METHODS USING A SOFTWARE PACKAGE

We discuss the problem of designing a system of teaching methods in the context of the dynamics of the external information environment. The necessity of attracting technology that makes it possible to quickly select the methods of organizing the educational and cognitive activities of students by automating the processing of a database containing large data sets of available general, special and particular didactic methods and their functional suitability is substantiated. The problem is solved using formalized methods. The factors affecting the selection of a system of teaching methods are identified. An algorithm for designing a system of teaching methods is developed in accordance with the necessary restrictions reflecting a system of factors determining a complex of effective methods for studying didactic units and modules of the content of the discipline. The developed algorithm is implemented as a software package. This complex is a means of supporting the decision making of choosing a system of computer science teaching methods and allows the teacher to make an informed selection of the most effective teaching methods in automatic or automated modes, taking into account personal preferences. The universality of the complex consists in the possibility of modifying the database in accordance with the specifics of specific academic disciplines, which makes it possible to use it in the education system.
