Recently the state budgets more and more resources for the computerization of schools. The computer capacities increase. However we confront a new problem- creating the software. There is a shortage of Lithuanian training programmes at schools. Purpose of the current work is to create a training programme of computer hardware that is easily managed and not demanding special skills, intended for the junior schoolchildren and computer users at the initial level. Analysis of the available programmes evidences the absence of such Lithuanian programme. The project has been worked out for the programme. Consumer demands, requirements, experience and skills have been investigated and estimated, functional and non functional requirements of the programme have been examined and the specification has been arranged. Programme architecture has been described in the architectural specification. Visual Basic Programming Language has been selected for the programme implementation. On the ground of testing document a testing of the programme has been carried out and mistakes revealed during the testing were eliminated. Consumer’s documentation has been prepared. The carried out analysis of the programme quality showed that the programme conforms the requirements raised for the training computer programmes and satisfies the demands of IT teachers, schoolchildren and users at the initial level.

The research work is dedicated to compose a computer – based model with graphic tests and computerese. The object of the research – actions with vulgar fractions. The usable teaching programmes in primary forms were analyzed. The requirements and the needs of such programmes were defined. The rules of the actions with fractions were depicted invoking action structuring graphs and specification of training software requirements was comprised for technical demands. According to them and using universal computerese Visual Studio 2005 and applying special system of graphic tests TestTool5 two training programmes were created. The programme „Fraction“, total size 76 KB, is composed of three operating conditions. There might be many tasks. Graphic tests „Fractions“ are also composed of three operating conditions, 94 tasks, and a teacher has a possibility to supplement the tasks. These two training programmes were introduced at school and an experimental testing was accomplished. Thirty schoolchildren participated in the experiment. The diagrams showing their learning process were received. A questionnaire survey was made. The experiments showed that both programmes present good facilities for schoolchildren to carry out experiments and to pattern. They are appropriate for constructive teaching process.
