Using the SCRATCH programming environment in computer science classes in primary school

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of teaching primary school students the basics of programming. The goal of modern education is to form a competitive member of society in literally every field of activity. All areas are closely intertwined with programming and use special programs at different stages of work, starting from primary school age, it is necessary to study programming. The proposed material presents fragments of computer science lessons in primary school using tasks aimed at teaching the basics of programming in the Scratch environment. The proposed tasks will help to acquire basic knowledge and coding skills, develop students' logical thinking, creativity and the ability to independently acquire knowledge, deriving patterns from practical experience and testing their assumptions experimentally. Programming in the Scratch environment will teach children how to learn and this is the most important in the process of teaching schoolchildren
