Development of Algorithmic Thinking in Primary School Students when Studying Computer Science

The relevance of the study is conditioned by fact that modern society requires new generations to be able plan their actions, find information necessary solve problems among huge arrays (many which are also not reliable), and model processes for future. set certain tasks synergised in plane concept algorithmic thinking. purpose track educational competence consequences applying developed approaches stimulate thinking computer science lessons, identify how they will contribute development primary school students. paper states categorisation a broad understanding algorithm as sequence actions aimed at achieving desired result. While way organising mental techniques solving problems, result an created – specific product human activity. Algorithmic compilation algorithms, its limited mechanical memorisation number algorithms. In scientific literature current policy documents on schools, perceived context digital schoolchildren associated with branches related science: mathematics logic. emphasis potential developing applies directly course, but it. intention ability think algorithmically requirement postmodern era key personal success, it one tools socialisation, therefore, should comprehensively presented concepts studying other compulsory optional subjects. For study, authors successfully tested special eight-level diagnostic structure, paper. It can used basis conducting similar experimental studies. Further topic organised around deepening expanding range methodological New Ukrainian School (NUS), particular, lessons
