Abstract
The article discusses in detail the key methodological approaches developed by the authors to using free software at the level of basic general education. When developing these approaches, the authors proceeded from the advantages of using free software in the educational process of basic school, categorizing them as primary and secondary.
In the study presented in the article analysis, synthesis, and a systemic approach were applied to identify the structure of benefits and methodological approaches to the use of free software.
The new methodological approaches to using free software in teaching informatics considered in the article are structured as a system so a systematic approach can be applied. The system of proposed methodological approaches is of practical value to migrate the educational process in basic school to domestic free software under the import substitution program ongoing in the Russian educational system.
The results of the study may be of practical interest to the managers of domestic educational organizations of basic general education who are going to migrate to domestic free software to ensure sustainable and safe school IT infrastructure operations under the increasing Western sanctions.
