The place of "test-learning systems" among other remote training tools is considered. It is noted that in typical cases in test-learning systems test tasks are performed sequentially, and the capabilities of dynamic control of test tasks complexity are not used. Authors are characterized general characteristics of peculiarities and technologies of teaching informatics of primary school children in Russia. The main directions and specific examples of software-hardware tools (means) for independent train- ing of such children are given. It was concluded that the use of adaptive learning modes in these tools (means) is insufficient. Possible directions and practical features of test-learning systems adaptation for use by visually impaired schoolchildren in schools and at home have been investigated. Authors are analyzed some special (additional) functional capabilities that the use of modern information-telecommunication technologies in the test-learning systems exploitation can provide. In this paper also are analyzed the types of test tasks, which can be used in test-learning systems; principles for managing the complexity of these test tasks; the evaluation of their implementation results. There are described methodical and algorithmic solutions used in the prototype of test-learning systems, which have been designed by the authors. This prototype use dynamic adaptation of test tasks in modules. Algorithms are presented in the form of detailed flowcharts with comments. Calculation formulas are given for determining reasonable initial complexities for the after-blowing modules in tests based on the test results, obtained in the previous modules. Features of program implementation of the test-learning systems prototype are described, including "program shell," composition and content of the used modules, peculiarities of test tasks in them. The results of test-learning systems test- ing using a group of first-grade schoolchildren in one of the schools in Astrakhan are presented. Based on the results of these testing, a conclusion was made about the correctness of the methodic, algorithmic and software solutions, which are used in the implementation of the designed test-learning systems prototype.
