Didactic Value of the Task and Ways of its Improvement
The article updates the proposition that the increase in the efficiency of the use of a task in training depends on how fully its functions are realized in the educational process. The concept of the didactic value of the task is introduced, as a characteristic, allowing to evaluate its contribution to the achievement of educational goals. The establishment of the features and properties of the task, which determine the learning, developmental and educational effects of its use in the educational process, made it possible to reveal the essence of the category “didactic value of the task”, and also to offer the author’s definitions of the information content of the task and its integrability. In the course of determining the features of the didactic value of the task as a multicomponent characteristic, some ways to improve it have been identified and described, which can be successfully used in school practice. An example is considered converting a task into a task system and organizing work with it aimed at increasing its didactic value.
