Abstract

The article analyzes the features of the manifestation and formation of technical thinking in modern schoolchildren. Paired interactions of various components of technical thinking are considered, which is considered as a three-component conceptual-figurative-practical thinking. The roles of programming, mathematics and interaction with computer tools in the formation of connections between components are shown. The article was written based on the materials of the speech at the seminar for teachers of computer science "Formation of technological culture at school as the basis for the development of engineering creativity" within the framework of the 12th All-Russian Conference with international participation "Information technologies for the new school".
