DATA PROCESSING AT INFORMATIONAL AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES PRACTICAL LESSONS

This article is based on an author’s experience on teaching Information and Communication Technologies to the students of all specialties and the directions of preparation of a bachelor degree. Focusing on Database Systems, the article reports about the main concepts of practical lessons in accordance with the curriculum. For improving IT skills in database design, Data integrity constraint, and Technologies of work with a database, students are suggested three kinds of assignments. Firstly they should work with a pre– built database, secondly use a pre–built flat–file database, and at last create their own database in DBMS. Most authors of practical courses propose immediately starting with the independent creation of the simplest database in a DBMS. However, students now have very vague ideas about such objects, so it makes sense to first show them the finished database and teach them the simplest skills to use it. The ICT course is delivered in English. Therefore CLIL is used at the practical lessons.
