INTEGRATED LESSONS WITH THE IT COMPONENT AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

Global informatization of society is one of the dominant trends, including in education. It is important to be able to work with information resources and technologies in lessons and to use the acquired knowledge in real life. In the educational process it is possible to implement it in integrated lessons with informatics component or special courses.

The article deals with the issues of cross-curricular integration during the education of pupils of 5-9 grades of secondary schools, namely the relevance of conducting integrated lessons with informatics component. The basic concepts of integration of the educational process, relevance and necessity of carrying out integrated lessons are defined. The benefits of this approach are objectively and impartially identified. In particular, the opportunity for students and teachers to demonstrate their achievements in ways other than the traditional, to unlock the potential, to apply a creative approach.

Ways of conducting integrated lessons are discussed, namely by combining similar subjects of several subjects or by forming integrated courses by combining the curricula of such courses. Specific examples of integration of various disciplines with informatics, in particular mathematics, foreign literature, physics, biology, geography, chemistry, are given. Most attention is given to lessons in grades 5, 7 and 9 of secondary schools.

Prospects of introduction of integrated lessons in the educational process are outlined. Expanding the range of integrated lessons in computer science and other disciplines will clearly demonstrate the ability to use information technology (information resources, application software) in different situations in life. This article is aimed at solving the problem of improving the methods and means of teaching, as well as approaches to the presentation of educational material in lessons.
