Problem and goal. In the system of modern education, the issue of informatization of project activities is studied only in terms of its use within individual subject areas. This significantly narrows the possible effect of using this method at the intersection of subject areas, which was the original purpose of creating and describing this method. At the same time, it is extremely rare to mention the construction of a school project management system, although management is also necessary for the implementation of the project, especially when it comes to projects at the intersection of subject areas, when entire teams of project coordinators (subject teachers), teams of project participants (students), representatives from enterprises and/or universities (project partners) are involved. The purpose of our research is to model approaches to informatization of project activities. Methodology. Project management is sufficiently described in modern literature and research, and the standards of project management are described and accepted all over the world. In our study, to model approaches to informatization of project activities, we will rely on the experience of using the method in the economy and on the standards adopted worldwide and in the Russian Federation. Results. The conducted research has shown that in education it is possible to effectively apply the approaches that have proven themselves in the economy, which makes it possible to effectively apply the project method in educational activities. Conclusion. We were able to apply universal standards of project management to model approaches to informatization of project activities, which in the future will allow us to organize the project activities of schoolchildren at a fundamentally new level.

Problem and goal. Determination of the place and role of education in the national security system at the present stage based on the analysis of the foreign and Russian regulatory framework, as well as scientific literature on the subject of the study. Methodology. Through the analysis and parallel comparison of the main domestic and foreign regulatory legal acts in the field of security, the key transformations of the perception and vision of education as a factor of national security in foreign countries and Russia were identified, and the causal relationships between the development of the education system and national security were formulated. Results. The problems of national security in all their diversity are significantly related to the state and sustainability of the development of the educational sphere, the impact of which is long-term and has far-reaching consequences in the form of imbalances in the socio-economic, scientific and technological development of the country. Conclusion. The formalization of existing approaches to assessing threats to national security and the economic aspects of ensuring national security will allow us to propose a methodology for quantifying the costs of the education system as a whole (or only for higher education), necessary to optimize the impact of education on national security.

Problem and goal.

Problem and goal. Computational thinking has been introduced in many countries around the world and teachers are working intensely to incorporate programming activities in the classroom. However, teachers are faced with several challenges due to the fact that there is still little research conducted focusing on programming education for younger children, that programming didactics is a rather new phenomenon for the K-9 educational system, and that K-9 teachers have little training with regards to programming. In Sweden for instance, programming has been introduced in several subjects and not as a subject in its own, which create a pressure on teachers to utilize programming as an instrument to teach and enhance learning of different subjects such as mathematics. Methodology. In this paper, we report on a larger lesson study conducted in a primary school (sixth grade) in Sweden with a total of 155 participating pupils. The aim of the lesson was to study whether the visual programming languages, Scratch , in particular, can be used to teach computational thinking, mathematics and social science in an interdisciplinary way. Results. Thus, the paper more specifically presents findings related to: 1) reflections of the use of lesson study methodology to develop programming education; 2) how programming can be utilized as an instrument to teach mathematics as well as social sciences in an interdisciplinary way; and 3) the didactical strategies employed by the teachers. Conclusion. The evidence from this study suggests that the interdisciplinary character of the lesson which incorporates learning goals of mathematics, social science and programming was highly beneficial. The pupils gained a better understanding of learning material by drawing, digitalizing and animating their ideas in Scratch .

Problem and goal. Despite a significant amount of work on the creation of electronic textbooks, interest in them does not wane. Currently, when developing them, it becomes necessary to take into account the features of the Z generation. The purpose of the study is a didactic analysis and description of the concept of transformer books and an inverted textbook. Methodology. The idea of creating such intellectual teaching aids is associated with the use of mental schemes of the subject area, hidden psychoanalysis of the perception type of the learner and the question-task form of training. The textbooks being designed provide for a change in the learning strategy (from the paradigm accumulating knowledge to solve problems to the paradigm solving problems by mastering the necessary knowledge). In this case, the educational model of the white box is used, which allows visualizing the dynamics of the acquisition by student the knowledge of the subject area. Results. A procedure for developing inverted textbooks and transformer books is proposed. Prototypes of such electronic tools when used in a real educational process have shown their high effectiveness in self-educational activities of students. Conclusion. The use of transformational and inverted electronic textbooks allows not only to automate the learning process without real contact with the teacher, but also contributes to a significant increase in the motivation of modern students to self-study. The materials of the article are of practical value for developers of e-learning tools, as well as teachers who prefer to use innovative teaching methods.

Problem and purpose. The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of ICT competence in future primary school teachers. In the context of global mass communication, the most valuable resource today is the ability to analyze, systematize, and interpret information. Global informatization naturally affects the education process and the main task of the education system is to identify current trends in the development of society and introduce pedagogical technologies into the educational process that form positive experience and reflect modern social changes, leading the educational process into an ordered, controlled system. The aim of the study is to find effective ways of manifesting information activities, building a model that promotes the development of ICT competence in future primary school teachers by means of mathematical cycle disciplines. Methodology. During the study, an analysis of approaches to the creation of educational models was carried out, ways of developing ICT competence of future primary school teachers by means of mathematical cycle disciplines were revealed. The main conceptual idea of the model, contributing to the solution of the didactic problems (epistemological, axiological, praxeological, professional-personal, communicative), is the reflection of mathematics in the information field as an instrument of humanization of the modern information society and personality. The basic aspects of fragmented subject modeling of pedagogical reality is the application of an integrated approach to the conceptual, criteria and quantification of the model. Results. A model for the development of ICT competence of future primary school teachers has been developed. The technological component of the model is disclosed, the criterion component of which is represented by the matrix of conjugation of levels (elementary, sufficient, advanced) and components of ICT competency (epistemological, axiological, praxiological, professional-personal, communicative). Each component is revealed through the prism of knowledge, skills and experience. Conclusion. The developed model for the development of ICT competence of future primary school teachers by means of the mathematical cycle disciplines justifies itself in practice and needs further research and quantitative analysis.

Problem and goal. The article considers the possible ways of development of the general course of informatics: with technological or socio-cultural dominant. The aim of the study is to identify the main factors (significant circumstances) that make it possible to develop the content of the training of this course in a socio-cultural way. This, in turn, allows us to adequately formulate information threats to the human person, characteristic of the digital society and develop a strategy to protect against these threats. Methodology. The study is based on the analysis of the main challenges of the digital society and the internal logic of the development of general education course of informatics: from computer literacy to the subject of the general education cycle, and from it - to metasubject. Results. The study highlights the main factors that allow to develop the content of the general education course of informatics in the socio-cultural key, which allows to formulate the main strategic directions of protection of the human person from the information threats of the digital society. These factors can be described as consistency, socialization, technologization. These factors will lead to the actual development of the general course of informatics, if within the informatics will be prerequisites for their implementation. The development of the subject area of informatics creates such prerequisites, since the most important concept of the modern course of informatics is the concept of information, symbolic model with a significant social context. At the same time, symbolic modeling is one of the main types of universal educational activities. Conclusion. It is shown that in order to ensure the information security of the individual, it is necessary, first of all, to develop a system of representations and information-cognitive tools that allow the student to adequately interact with the surrounding world. The development of this tool can take over computer science.
