METHODOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE USE OF MATLAB IN THE TEACHING OF COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Given that we live in the age of computer technology, these technologies have penetrated into all areas of our lives, including the learning process. With more frequency applications and programs are developed that allow us to make more things, and in a more efficient way, but in the case of the teaching process this supposes some challenges. The formation of the future professors is among the most significant, and, although they recognize the importance of the technology and their potentials usually they are overwhelmed with the changing dynamics of the digital world. To approach this problem a possibility it is the election of tools with a wide spectrum of capacities to solve problems, like it is the case of MATLAB for the mathematical problems. In this work the potentials of this tool are examined specifically for their use in the subject algorithms, providing methodological recommendations for the work of the future professors.
