Information and Communication Technologies and Children in Special Primary School

A number of researchers have shown concern at the difficulties that primary school pupils cope with in learning geometry, and have tried to explain why this happens and what can be done to make the subject more understandable to young learners. Van Hiele’s theoretical model postulates five levels of geometric thinking as visualisation, analysis, abstraction, formal deduction and rigour. Each level uses its own language and symbols. Pupils pass through the levels ‘step by step’. This hierarchical order helps them to achieve better understanding and results. In this research the teacher taught geometry in the 2nd class in a primary Greek school with the use of information and communication technologies. The aim is to find out the level of geometrical thought of the pupils and how geometrical activities – based on online tools – concerning the geometrical shapes and their properties, help students improve their mathematical knowledge in the class. Keywords: Geometric thinking, online tools, shapes, geometrical activities

Use of ICT and Inappropriate Effects of Computer Use - Future Perspectives of Preschool and Primary School Teachers The aim of this paper is to gain an insight into some aspects of personal computer literacy and preschool and primary school teachers' education on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Another aim of the paper is to point out the inappropriate effects of computer use (personal as well as with children of school and preschool ages) according to the students of the Department of Preschool and Primary School Teaching of the Juraj Dobrila University in Pula. The x2 test was used in the data processing, along with the calculation of marginal frequencies for all the examined variables. The scientific and application value of this work is that, based on the indicators obtained, it suggests a need for permanent education of both preschool and primary school teachers on the applicability of ICT at all pedagogical and educational levels, and on all the positive but also negative aspects of ICT use in the widest sense.

The author of the article outlines that the problem of teaching methods is one of the most important in pedagogical science and practice of school teaching, since teaching methods are the main tools with which a tutor teaches the basics of science to students, develops their cognitive abilities, ensures personal development and forms a scientific worldview. The article formulates the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the educational process. The pedagogical experiment of using ICT in teaching economics to primary school children is described. The purpose of the research is to form economic knowledge in primary school children using information and communication technologies. Method of research. The following methods were used in the study: comparison, analysis, observation and experiment. The experiment was conducted among 24 schoolchildren who were divided into a control and experimental group. A variety of ICTs were used: an interactive whiteboard, reference and multimedia Internet resources, social networks, various messengers, presentations made in the Microsoft Power Point program, as well as using the Prezi service. Research result. In the control group, the average level of economic knowledge increased by more than 40%. The number of schoolchildren with an average and high level of economic knowledge in the experimental group increased by 3 and 2.5 times. Conclusions are made about the possibility of using ICT in teaching economics to school children.

The article considers the concepts of "Internet service", "interactive multimedia educational content", the concept of organizational and methodological support for the use of Internet service H5P in mathematics lessons in primary school and its advantages over other forms of methodical work. Diagnosis of the advantages and possibilities of using the H5P service in mathematics lessons in primary school and methodical recommendations for the organization of work with the use of the H5P service in mathematics lessons in the 2nd grade. Criteria have been developed and the levels of readiness of the teacher to use the H5P Internet service in mathematics lessons have been described. The use of the H5P online service in math lessons provides a feedback process between teacher and students; to increase the level of visualization of the submitted educational material; provide an individual approach to each student; provide the ability to model the studied processes or phenomena; organize frontal, collective and group work; to carry out constant control and assessment of students' achievements.

The article is devoted to the educational and developmental potential of information and communication technologies for the formation of understanding of music in primary school students at the music lesson. Psychological characteristics of younger school age – inquisitiveness, emotionality, mental activity, immediacy, openness, trustworthiness, their belief in the undeniable authority of the teacher and willingness to fulfill any of his tasks are favorable conditions for affirmation of broad social motives at this age responsibility, understanding of the need for training etc. The possibility of a teacher in music lessons using various computer programs: MIDI, Musical Instruments Digital Interface, Garage Band, FlexiMusic Composer, FL Studio, Finale, Sibelius. The use of modern computer technology in music lessons in primary school makes learning bright, unforgettable, interesting for the student, contributing to the formation of cognitive skills in students, forming an emotional-positive attitude to the arts. After all, the use of information and communication technologies in the classroom increases the level of understanding of music in primary school students. Various and multifaceted psychological and pedagogical tasks of informatization of the educational process in primary school students are highlighted, namely: development of communication skills; correction of mental and emotional states; development of the emotional sphere of the child's personality; formation of selfpresentation skills; setting up an emotionally-supportive atmosphere in the classroom. The use of information and communication technologies in music lessons contributes to the educational and development potential of primary school students to form an understanding of music, namely: motivation; individualization and differentiation; cognitive development of the child; forming a culture of educational activity and information culture. Thus, the problem of educational and development potential of primary school students by means of information and communication technologies does not lose its relevance. The introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process for forming the understanding of music in primary school students in a music lesson is a complex process that is caused by individual psychological characteristics, personal experience, emotional and sensual sphere. Key words: educational and development potential, information and communication technologies, understanding, primary school students, music lesson.
