Situation Tasks for Students of Grades 5–6 on the Ethical Foundations of Internet Communication

Abstract

The article discusses the problem of violations of ethical norms of communication on the Internet by students of grades 5–6. Young adolescent children are found on the Internet in violation of ethical standards and often violate them themselves. The actual task of teachers is to form students' skills to protect themselves from threats to the information environment that are unethical in nature. The article presents examples of situational tasks of three types: tasks that reveal the key concepts of the ethical foundations of communication on the Internet; situations of students' search activity in the network; situations of interaction of younger adolescents in the information environment. The developed set of tasks allows organizing the practical activities of students in grades 5–6 on the development of ethical norms of behavior in the global network both at informatics lessons and during extracurricular activities.
