Abstract: | Formation of computer skills + of pupils is one of the most acute tasks for school today. The relationship between the functional state of the central nervous system, visual analyser and efficiency of pupils with age, have been established. Motivation for work with the computer and quality of the computer video-terminal has been established. Questionnaires given to about 500 pupils have shown that the majority of pupils show an interest to working with computers: 82.5% of 13-14-year old and 70% of 16-17-year old adolescents. Efficiency of pupils becomes more stable with age. The highest number of astheno-neurotic tic symptoms and fatigue complaints are registered in pupils with a low interest to working with computers, as well as in pupils dealing with computers of low quality (of the type Personal Computer 0010). Duration of pupils' work with computers should be no longer than 30 minutes. |
