THE PROBLEMS OF TEACHING THE ADOBE PAGEMAKER SOFTWARE AND THE INCREASE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING BY USING THE COMPARISON METHOD

Abstract

Adobe Pagemaker is a publishing system that allows to prepare magazines and all kinds of publishing materials for publication. The program offers a wide range of uses for both professionals and amateurs. The teaching of Adobe PageMaker is included in the textbook of the “Informatics” of 11th grade. As the polls show, there are certain gaps in the school education system related to the teaching of the given program. Among those omissions are not knowing the program or avoiding its teaching reasoned by the incomplete knowledge, as well as the absence of the program. This article is aimed at raising the above-mentioned problem, as well as proposing methods for increasing the teaching effectiveness of the program, which is aimed at overcoming teaching difficulties. In particular, a method is proposed that will help the teacher to facilitate the explanation process by putting it in an analytical comparison with the Microsoft Word program and by simplifying the differences. It will contribute not only to the study of the topic in the subject, but also to increase the efficiency of work with it. The article can serve as a teacher's guide to preparing and teaching the discussed topic.
