Abstract:
Studying computer modeling and information technology is a challenge for many learners. The use of flowcharts in the teaching of computer modeling and information technology is a current topic that aims to facilitate the process of learning complex concepts and algorithms. This article presents different methods of building flowcharts and their role in computer modeling and information technology education, in particular drawing complex geometric figures with a block-based coding programming language.
The article focuses on the use of flowcharts as a teaching and learning tool. The approaches the authors consider include using flowcharts to represent specific algorithms and to draw complex geometric figures, as well as using them to visualize the interaction between the components of a system. After presenting the basic principles of drawing geometric figures using flowcharts, some of the advantages and limitations of this approach are discussed. Incorporating flowcharts into the process of drawing shapes can facilitate students and allow them to create complex shapes more quickly and efficiently. This article examines how flowcharts can be used to improve students' algorithmic thinking, accelerate their learning of new concepts, and reduce their logical programming errors.
The article also presents various examples of teaching materials that use flowcharts to teach students in the field of computer modeling and information technology. These materials include exercises and assignments that are specifically designed to support the use of flowcharts in learning and facilitate the process of mastering complex concepts. Various complex geometric figures and the ways in which they can be constructed using flowcharts are presented as examples.
The article concludes that the use of flowcharts can be a powerful learning tool in the field of computer modeling and information technology.Keywords:
