VI. Conclusion

The research led to the following conclusions.

1. Fundamental principals of the theory of stage-by-stage development of mental actions can be easily formalized in organization of computer-oriented instruction, using data bases with proper interface.

2. In computer oriented training it is possible to start instruction from developing actions in their initial materialized form and also attain a high level of motivation, connected with using information technologies.

3. Development of actions in the written speech form, a necessary element of the theory and also confirmed by practical experience, cannot be achieved relying predominantly on information technologies. At this stage the instructor become a critical element of the process being a facilitator mediator and an active participant of the process. The greatest effect is achieved through a team work organized and facilitated by the instructor.

4. Different types of computer-oriented activities should be used at each stage of instruction.

5. These types of activities predetermine the teaching methods and strategy at each stage.
