METHODICAL FEATURES OF THE USE OF ARDUINO ON THE BASE OF TINKRCAD PLATFORM IN THE PROCESS OF NON-FORMAL EDUCATION OF TEACHERS

Abstract

The paper characterizes the ethodical features of using the hardware and software complex ARDUINO in the process of non-formal education of teachers using the platform Tinkercad Circuits. The problem of advanced training of in-service teachers is of particular relevance, to bring it in line with the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress in the field of ICT development. In this regard, it is important to consider the best solutions for organizing a learning environment, in particular using cloud technologies, the need for which is especially acute in the conditions of non-formal education. The functional features, advantages and disadvantages of this platform are outlined, which make it expedient to introduce it into the process of non-formal education of teachers.

Formulation of the problem. The necessity of the study is due to the need to increase the level of ICT competence of teachers of computer science and physics, lecturers of teacher education institutions in terms of developing skills of the use of the Arduino hardware and software complex.

Materials and methods. To achieve the purpose of the work, the general scientific methods were used: a) theoretical - analysis of technical and psychological and pedagogical literature on the research problem; generalization of domestic and foreign experience; theoretical analysis, systematization and generalization of scientific facts and patterns b) empirical - interviews with participants in the educational environment; observation, questionnaire, testing.

Results. The paper proves that methodologically balanced and appropriate use of the Arduino software and hardware complex will contribute to a more active assimilation of knowledge, skills and abilities, and will promote the introduction of innovative forms and methods of teaching in the process of non-formal education of teachers.

Conclusions. The use of the Arduino hardware and software complex and work in the online platform "Tinkercad" is a methodologically appropriate component in the process of non-formal teacher education, the introduction of this complex in accordance with a specially developed methodology will help to improve the ICT competence of teachers, the wider introduction of relevant educational content and the most modern technologies in the learning process.
