Computer-oriented management of students' educational activity in informatics practicum

Abstract

The paper explores various types of managing students’ educational activity, focusing on the educational discipline “Practicum of problem solving in informatics” for third-year students aspiring to become informatics teachers. The study aims to realize pedagogical conditions for computer-oriented management of students’ educational activity. The courseware design revolves around a progressive shift from direct management to self-management, with co-management and subsidiary management as intermediate stages. The information and communication educational environment is built on the Moodle learning management system, with the Workshop elements playing a central role in managing students’ educational activity. The suggested approach has been evaluated through pedagogical observation and assessment, demonstrating its efficiency. Furthermore, the study highlights students’ lack of competency in time planning and introspection based on experimental data.
