THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE FORMATION OF OPERATIONAL SKILLS OF STUDENTS IN SCIENTIFIC LYCEUMS

Abstract

The article substantiates the theoretical and methodological principles of the formation of operational research skills of students studying in scientific lyceums. It has been determined that the theoretical foundations of the formation of operational abilities, skills and other abilities of students of scientific lyceums are based on the theory of cognitive development proposed by J. Piaget , based on the fact that cognitive development is a progressive organization of mental processes that occurs as a result of the influence of biological formation and the environment. Emphasis is placed on the existence of operational and figurative intelligence, which together have a positive effect on the formation of operational skills of lyceum students in the process of educational and research work. Also, on the basis of Piaget’s classification, the process of formation of students' operational skills at different age stages of cognitive development (sensorimotor, pre-operational, actually operational, formally operational) has been analyzed. It has been established that these skills are one of the basic components of the research skills of schoolchildren during secondary specialized education in the scientific direction. Different approaches of domestic and foreign researchers to the definition of operational research skills of scientific lyceum students are considered and their author's definition is proposed.
