Авторы статьи придают особую важность задаче развития навыков работы с информацией в учебном процессе. Они основывались на идеях педагогического конструктивизма и системе взаимного обучения. В статье делается акцент на проблеме изложения как неотъемлемой части учебного процесса. Авторы смогли выделить в привычной схеме традиционного изложения материала целый ряд недостатков, что побудило их к тому, чтобы провести работу над излагаемым материалом, добавив уровни и последовательность их представления. В работе описывается влияние фактора ответственности на степень вовлеченности обучающихся. Исходя из результатов этих исследований, авторы статьи смогли создать инновационную схему проведения учебного занятия. При расчете продолжительности активного внимания у студентов в создании схемы они учли такую современную тенденцию, как клиповое мышление. Благодаря предложенной схеме, привычная передача информации от одного нескольким преобразовалась в коллективную работу. В статье описывается положительное влияние эксперимента на отношения в группе. В ходе исследования авторы отмечают, что поэтапное выполнение работы в специальных ролевых звеньях стимулирует принятие ответственности обучающегося за свое обучение. Помимо этого, рассмотрены особенности влияния групповой ответственности и преимущества применения этой схемы для дистанционного обучения. The authors of the paper attach special importance to the development of information skills in the educational process. They were inspired by the ideas of pedagogical constructivism and the system of mutual learning. The paper focuses on the problem of presentation of learning material as an integral part of the educational process. The authors of the paper were able to identify a number of shortcomings in the usual scheme of traditional presentation of the material, which prompted them to work on the material being presented, adding levels and sequence of their presentation. The paper describes the influence of the responsibility factor on the degree of involvement of students. Based on the results of these studies, the authors were able to create an innovative scheme for conducting training sessions. When calculating the duration of active attention of students in creating the scheme, they took into account such a modern trend as clip thinking. Thanks to the proposed scheme, the usual transfer of information from one to several has been transformed into collective work. The paper describes the positive impact of the experiment on the relationships in the group. In the course of the study, the authors note that step-by-step performance of work in special role links encourages students to take responsibility for their training.

Methodical peculiarities of organising pupils' active cognitive deeds in a Geography lesson, which is dictated by the need to find and implement an interesting form of occupation, are presented in the article. The development of classes that would include the possibility of applying not only substantive, but also everyday knowledge and skills when solving situational problems, becomes the most topical at present. What is a novelty of the proposed method, is the setting of a problem situation in the form of mini-studies, the solution of which increases active cognitive activity in pupils. The authors note that pupils, when reviewing educational material, can be involved in ongoing educational investigations, which, in addition to establishing positive motivation for the educational process, contribute to independent search for information and help to overcome the problem situation. Comparative analysis of three pedagogic acts – study, investigation, research – is adduced; they are considered to be sequential stages of learning material mastering. A description of the lesson using the proposed technology is also presented in the article.

The article is devoted to the automation of the educational process in terms of measuring the achievements of student in electronic training systems (EOS) to solve the problems of creating an individual training schedule. Psychological and pedagogical concepts used for evaluation of learning material acquisition are considered. It has been found that the approaches used to measure the achievements of students are not suitable for the electronic environment. In order to build an individual schedule for studying materials in the educational discipline in the EOS, it is proposed to measure the amount of work done by the student. To achieve this goal, a scale developed on the basis of the structure of its activity of the trainee in the process of achieving the objectives of the training is proposed. Five steps are highlighted in the achievement of the learning goal: 1) mastering the conceptual framework, 2) assimilation of knowledge of a way of actions, 3) formation of ability, 4) formation of skill, 5) formation of ability to solve non-standard problems. Considering the obtained stages of formation of ability to carry out studied activities as levels of mastery of educational material, a scale of levels of mastery is obtained. The types of tasks in LMS Moodle are given, which can be used to monitor the achievement of the selected levels of learning material. This scale can be used to calculate the labour intensity of the student’s work during the mastering of educational material, to plan the curriculum, to form an individual training schedule.
