THE TRANING AND LITERATURE OF COMPUTER USE IN EDUCATION. THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING IT IN TEACHING
Abstract
Using a computer in training essentially serves to visualize the training material. Prominent educators have considered visibility as one of the main principles in teaching. The popular saying "It is better to see a hundred than to hear a hundred" also shows that it is one of the main methods of learning and understanding. This conclusion, which people have come to from their life experience for centuries, is based on the pedagogical principle, which should be followed and kept in the focus of training.
The great pedagogue Y.A.Komensky rightly called visibility the "golden rule" in education. He writes: "...let it be a golden rule for teachers to present everything possible to perception with the senses, that is, to present what is visible to the sense of sight, what has taste to the sense of taste, and what can be touched to the sense of taste. If everything can be perceived by several senses at once, let it be perceived by several senses at the same time.
As it can be seen, Y.A.Komensky with this interpretation opens the mechanism of assimilation and understanding of learning materials, considers it appropriate to transfer the presented object and event to the cognitive process through the sensory organs. Even if it is possible to use several sense organs at the same time during training, when they are used, the training material is better absorbed by the students and is not forgotten for a long time.
Y.A.Komensky's opinion about the importance of visualization in education is appreciated and developed by other classical educators. From this point of view, the views of the great Russian pedagogue K.D.Ushinsky are also interesting and are still important from a pedagogical and methodological point of view. He writes: "The child thinks in forms, colors, sounds, and in general, feelings, and he who tries to make the child think otherwise is forcing his nature in vain and to his detriment."
K.D.Ushinsky, continuing his opinion about the importance of visibility in training, says: "The nature of the child requires clear visualization. Try to teach him 5 unknown words, he will suffer for a long time and in vain, but associate 20 such words with pictures and the child will memorize them very easily. You explain a simple idea to a child, he does not understand you; explain a complex picture to that child, he understands you very quickly".
