INFORMATION MODEL OF SUBJECT CURRICULUM Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: visual aids which display content of subject curriculum. SUBSTANCE: device has base and vertical shaft for mounting of body which has complex cone shape and consists of cone-shaped information carriers which determine abstraction level using angle of their vertex. Cone-shaped information carriers are attached to tables with systematic material using rods. All cones have common axis and vertex, so that angle at cone vertex determines level of subject abstraction. In addition device has rods which are located along cone envelopes. One end of rod is connected to cone vertex, its another end is connected to table for movement of table along circle which is provided by section of plane by cone which is parallel to base and corresponds to abstraction level. Upper cone carries tables which reflect philosophical categories. Second cone from upper side carries tables which reflect methodological notions; third cone carries tables which reflect subject notions; lowermost cone carries tables which reflect applied notions. EFFECT: increased efficiency of visual aids, reinforced associations which are related to subject curriculum. 5 cl, 5 dwg, 5 tbl
