FORMATION OF THINKING SKILLS OF YOUNGER SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH THE HELP OF "MINDMAPPING" TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In order to determine the relevance of our research, the skills of critical thinking, creative thinking and processes aimed at creating new innovative ideas provided for by the state mandatory standard of primary education and the professional standard "Teacher" are analyzed. The problem of formation of mental and thinking skills of younger schoolchildren in the educational process is relevant. After all, the skills of creative thinking, critical thinking, positive thinking, expressed in the educational standard, allow the younger student's personality to develop harmoniously. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to consider the importance of the "Mindmapping" technology, which develops thinking in the implementation of the education system. To achieve this goal, the types of "Mindmapping" technologies are considered: an intellectual map, a mental map, knowledge maps that allow you to fully differentiate information, make plans, develop projects, and offer new ideas. The article discusses the technology of "Mindmapping" - an analytical tool that develops thinking. The authors of the article conducted a content analysis of the works of domestic scientists and foreign scientists-psychologists who considered the problem of research, their definition of the "mental map". The provisions, effective points and specific questions proposed by T. Buzen when drawing up the mental map were taken as a basis. In order to determine the importance of the "Mindmapping" technology in the educational process, experimental work was carried out with 58 students of the 4th grade of the Lyceum No. 23 named after him. Z.The comparative results of the ascertaining and control stages of the experiment are analyzed. Several tasks based on the construction of a mental map carried out at the formative stage were also proposed. The results obtained as a result of the study at the control stage of experimental work proved the effectiveness of tasks aimed at building mental maps in the formation of thinking skills of younger schoolchildren.
