Abstract

In the article there is considered the problem of the influence of visual aids, realized by the personal computer means, on the formation of abstract thinking.
Based on the theoretical and applied research it is proved that the visual aid in solving the problem can have positive influence only in the case of pupils' solving the elementary problems. If one makes the conditions more difficult, the visual aid can't serve as a starting moment, predetermining the positive result, because the necessary abstract thinking activities, that is, the logical factor, have a decisive importance in this case. Using the dynamic modules, created by the author, is more effective only when they have a considerable function in the whole system of forming the abstract thinking. Under this condition the necessary correspondence between the abstract and figurative components of thinking and the visual dynamic sketches really helps to teach solving problems.
