Abstract
The rapid development of various information-cybernetic systems and their introduction into all spheres of human life and activity necessitate a deeper study of the foundations of informatics and cybernetics in schools and pedagogical universities. Conducting an analysis of the features of the formation of information-cybernetic thinking of students of pedagogical universities and the development of training tasks that contribute to a deeper mastery of the basic provisions of cybernetics are key aspects for the teacher. At the same time, the method of analyzing educational and scientific-methodical literature, methods of programming and computer modeling, as well as mathematical methods are used. The main types of educational tasks that contribute to the development of informationcybernetic thinking of students are selected: 1) explanation of the principles of cybernetics and their justification on the example of specific technical systems; 2) explanation of the general principles of functioning of various types of information-cybernetic systems; 3) explanation of the operation of specific automatic control systems (ACS) and their individual components; 4) the invention of “new” control systems with desired properties; 5) creation of technical control systems and experimental study of their work; 6) creation of computer models of control systems and transmission links. Solutions of educational problems involving computer modeling of automatic control systems and various transmission links in the Pascal ABC environment are discussed. The proposed elements of the methodology can be used in any university when teaching students the basics of cybernetics.
