THE USE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING ALGORITHMIC THINKING OF PEDAGOGICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

The article deals with the essential characteristics of algorithmic thinking, the ways of its formation, and also the possibilities of computer technology usage in the process of formation of algorithmic thinking of students of pedagogical orientation. The means of computer technologies, which can be used in the formation of algorithmic thinking of the students of pedagogical orientation, are outlined. The structural and functional method of forming algorithmic thinking in the professional training of students of pedagogical orientation was demonstrated and theoretically proved. The scientific novelty of the research is done, and its practical importance is determined. The results of the research can be the basis for the improvement of the process of using computer technologies in shaping algorithmic thinking of pedagogical students.
