Research of methods for activating cognitive activity of students in technology lessons in the context of digitalization of education

Abstract

The study is devoted to the urgent problem of finding effective methods to stimulate cognitive activity of schoolchildren in the process of learning technology in the context of digital transformation of the educational environment. The purpose of the work is to identify, theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify a set of pedagogical conditions and methodological techniques that contribute to increasing educational motivation and developing cognitive independence of students in technology lessons using digital educational resources. The methodological basis of the study was based on system-activity, personality-oriented and technological approaches. Theoretical (analysis of scientific literature, modeling), empirical (pedagogical observation, questionnaires, testing, experimental work) and statistical methods were used. As a result of the research: A structural and functional model of activating the cognitive activity of students has been developed, including motivational-target, meaningful, procedural-technological and evaluative-effective blocks; A set of pedagogical conditions is defined and justified (ensuring the student's subjective position, integration of traditional and digital educational technologies, interactive nature of learning, orientation to the development of meta-subject competencies), the implementation of which increases the cognitive activity of schoolchildren; The effectiveness of the author's method of activating cognitive activity based on a combination of problematic, project, game teaching methods using digital technologies is experimentally proven tools (learning apps, online designers visual programming environments). The proposed model and a set of pedagogical conditions can be used in the practice of school technological education. The research materials will be of interest to teachers, methodologies, and developers of digital educational resources. Further prospects are associated with the detailing of methodological approaches to the activation of cognitive activity, taking into account the specifics of technological modules.
