DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN EDUCATIONAL MOBILE APPLICATION FOR TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE

Abstract

The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the fact that we live in an age of rapid development of technology and large amounts of information in various fields of knowledge. Of course, this fact has been reflected in the education system in general, and in the field of "informatics" in particular. It is obvious that there is an urgent need to modernize the content, search for pedagogical innovations that should bring the quality of training of school graduates in line with the demands of modern society. In relation to the school computer science course, this will require the development of new concepts, the introduction of terminology related to new ICT capabilities, in particular, mobile technologies. It is possible that this will require modernization and time-tested didactic principles, their implementation at a qualitatively new level. The purpose of this review article is to study the process of using the project method in computer science lessons. The object of study is the creation of a mobile application in the Android Studio environment. In the review article, we came to the conclusion that with the help of Android Studio, the school computer science course will become fascinating and filled with several computational concepts besides programming, such as database, data transfer, project management, the essence of mobile applications, web services and much more. Also, in computer science design lessons, students will be able to use Android Studio support for rapid development to plan, implement and test mobile applications as part of a teacher's assignment.
