The retrospective analysis of computer science teaching proves that the rapid development of information and communication technologies changes the social demand of the society for the level of computer competence of its members. The expansion of the spectrum of digital technologies affects the necessity to form the corresponding competences of a modern person. The educational reform in Ukraine regulates qualitative changes at every level of education. Updating the curricula on informatics for primary school requires the revision of educational programs for the preparing a primary school teacher, in particular according to the formation of his methodological and informational competence. The analysis of the curricula of higher education in Ukraine has shown the outdated content of the disciplines, which are basic for the formation of the phenomenon under the study. The solution of the problem is seen by the authors in the transformation of the methodological system, the purpose of which is determined through the realization of the tasks of the informatics education. The article substantiates the necessity to harmonize the conceptual content of the educational program of the primary school teacher and the contents of the curriculum on informatics for primary school, modernization of the means, methods and forms of teaching. Such qualitative changes also affect the list of the expected results, which are required for the level of the teacher’s methodological and informational competence formation. The authors identify the components of the studied phenomenon (motivational, cognitive, activity, vocational and pedagogical), as well as the main factors that have a qualitative influence on its formation (personification, "learning based on mastery", personal responsibility for learning outcomes, collective-distribution environment). The article describes the mechanism of the functioning of the methodical system through the implementation of mixed teaching, the development of manuals on informatics and methods of teaching informatics at primary school, the content of which is supplemented and updated depending on the requirements to the level of formation of methodological and informational competence of a teacher.

It is justified the use of Smart Kids technology as a system of methods, forms, and electronic educational game resources, electronic textbooks for educational process in the system of primary school. Four forms of Smart Kids technology implementation (Smart Case, Smart Teacher, Smart Class, and Smart Kids) were described considering the facilities of every school as well as the level of information and communication technology qualification of the primary school teacher. The aim of introduction of the technology for each form of teaching, the necessary equipment, and means for its implementation in primary school environment were determined. Based on the procedural approach to work of the primary school teacher, six stages of introduction of the technology were justified. Specific aspects of introduction of blended teaching using the principles of Smart Kids technology were defined. The experience of introduction of electronic textbooks to the system of primary education of Ukraine was described, the choice of electronic textbooks by primary school teachers was justified, the comments and suggestions of teachers regarding the arrangement of electronic content in E-textbooks were summarized, the main approaches of teachers to the choice of an electronic textbook and development of their information and communication competence were specified. Proposals are given for training future primary school teachers on the use of Smart Kids technology and the inclusion in the curriculum of topics such as: the concept of EER, EEGR and electronic textbook, structure and development of EER, the use of Smart Kids technology for teaching students, the latest forms of work with students, work with network programs for organizing a survey of students. The fragments of use of electronic textbook in teaching 6-year-old pupils were provided.

Abstract       This study aims to determine the usage-based Media Information and Communication Technology in Learning Biology in Secondary Schools as District Medan City. This research was conducted at the Junior High School as Medan City District. The population in this study were all junior high school teacher as District VII class Medan City. This study used questionnaires, interviews and observations. The results showed that the perception of teachers on ICT very well and positively with the percentage (80.83%). However, use of ICTbased media in the process of learning about biology by science teachers to master the use of ICT media and less able to use ICT-based media with a percentage (38.42%). Science teacher uses less varied types of ICT-based media in learning biology by percentage (29.87%). Often there is a limiting factor in the use of ICTs such as the lack of availability of tools to use ICT in learning biology by percentage (63.33%). Biological materials using ICT-based media is still lacking a lot in practice with the percentage (30.3%). This is supported by the lack of tools provided by the school so that science teachers tend not to use ICT media in Junior High School as Medan City District. Keywords: media, Information and Communication Technology, perception of science teachers AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penggunaan Media Berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi dalam Proses Pembelajaran Biologi di SMP Negeri se-Kecamatan Medan Kota. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SMP Negeri se-Kecamatan Medan Kota. Populasi dalam penelitian  ini adalah seluruh guru SMP Negeri kelas VII se-Kecamatan Medan Kota. Penelitian ini menggunakan angket, wawancara dan observasi.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi guru mengenai TIK sangat baik dan positif dengan persentase (80,83%). Namun Penggunaan media berbasis TIK dalam proses pembelajaran biologi oleh guru IPA kurang menguasai penggunaan media TIK dan kurang mampu menggunakan media berbasis TIK dengan persentase (38,42%). Guru IPA kurang bervariasi menggunakan jenis-jenis media berbasis TIK dalam pembelajaran biologi dengan persentase (29,87%). Sering terdapat faktor penghambat dalam memanfaatkan penggunaan TIK seperti kurang tersedianya alat untuk menggunakan TIK dalam proses pembelajaran biologi dengan persentase (63,33%). Materi biologi yang menggunakan media berbasis TIK masih kurang banyak dalam pelaksanaannya dengan persentase (30,3%). Hal ini didukung dengan kurangnya alat yang disediakan oleh pihak sekolah sehingga guru IPA cendrung tidak menggunakan media TIK di SMP Negeri se- Kecamatan Medan Kota. Kata kunci: media,Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi, persepsi guru IPA

The use of information and communication technology in learning is an essential part of the National Curriculum in Malaysia. Dyslexic children exhibit different skills and motivations. They dislike reading and find reading to be a painful activity. This paper presents an exploration of the visual representation used by dyslexic children in learning Bahasa Melayu. Visual representations, such as the use of icons and images, in interface design are remembered easily and enhance the level of concentration and experience in learning. The experiment used an educational multimedia courseware to investigate how dyslexic children react towards the use of icons and images. This study involved 12 dyslexic children in a primary school in Malaysia. Findings from the experiment were examined to understand how children with dyslexia perceive visual representations. The findings will help designers to carefully design and choose icons and images that can easily be interpreted by these children. Well designed icons and images allow dyslexic children to recognise the meaning of those visual representations without the need of additional support.
