Abstract:

Currently, the actual problem in computer science is image processing and the creation of 2D and 3D models. Modern methods and digital technologies are useful and helpful in solving many tasks in this area. In our paper we will focus on the creation of real spatial models of small objects. The created computer 3D model reliably reflects the real appearance of the object, as it is its metric reflection. The paper presents procedures that are easy to implement in the teaching of computer science at secondary schools. Attractive and illustrative representation of spatial objects, the possibility of simple manipulation with them support and increase of students' interest in informatics and computer graphics. The way of mastering the curriculum is supported by the active involvement of students in the creation of models, which increases their motivation to learn as well as motivation to the subject itself. According to the state educational program and the possibilities that the content of the subject of Computer Science offers us at secondary school, we have designed a teaching module for the inclusion of the creation of a real model in the content of the subject. To achieve the set educational goals, we propose a combination of project and problem based learning. Within the school exercises, tasks are solved, the solution of which everyone can use in their individual project. Students learn by actively participating in solving partial problems, which they can incorporate into the solution of real projects on the chosen topic, which represents a real problem from everyday life.
