Summary
The article analyzes the classification of programming languages and their role in computer science from a scientific-theoretical and pedagogical point of view. Programming languages, in addition to being a means of communication between a person and a computer, are the basis of modern technologies, artificial intelligence systems and digital educational environments. The work systematically explains the historical stage of development of programming languages, low- and high-level languages, as well as procedural, object-oriented, functional and script paradigms. The article emphasizes the role of a teacher with programming skills in modern education and substantiates the importance of his formation as a leader who speaks the same language as the “digital generation”. The role of programming in the development of algorithmic thinking, logical analysis, problem solving and creative approach is shown. It is noted that a teacher who knows the basics of programming can create interactive tests, simulations and automated evaluation mechanisms during the training process, which increases the quality of education. As a result, learning programming languages is considered not only as a technical skill, but also as an important component of modern literacy. The article has practical significance in the field of teacher training, computer science teaching and digital competence formation.
