FORMING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN YOUNGER SCHOOLCHILDREN
The paper examines the primary school age, which is one of the most crucial stages in the development of a child. During this period the purposeful pedagogical influence develops important new mental formations, forms the learning activity, in particular, motivation and basic educational skills, which largely determine the effectiveness of all further education of a schoolchild. That is why the state of educational activity, its formation in a younger schoolchild is the subject of close attention in the teacher's professional activity. The relevance of the problem of developing the cognitive interest at the socio-pedagogical level is determined by the search for new pedagogical tools in organizing the educational process. Identifying the problem of the cognitive interest development as a key one in the self-development of the schoolchild’s personality responds to a number of reasons, and above all, the request of society.
