In the article attention is paid to the methods of activization of cognitive activity of junior schoolchildren by means of application of technology of critical thinking development on the lessons of literature cognitive activity of junior schoolchildren through the use of technology of critical thinking development at the lessons of literary reading (TCRM). A brief description of its stages is given and fragments of lessons developed for elementary school students are presented.

The article discusses the essence of research skills of primary school students in teaching mathematics, the components and directions of formation. Pedagogical methods are also presented, with the help of which research skills are formed. The inclusion of research methods in the educational process allows students not only to master subject competencies, but also to develop the ability to think analytically and independently search for solutions.

The article examines the age-specific characteristics of primary school children as a key resource for developing their research activity. It provides theoretical justification that psychological characteristics of primary school age, such as cognitive activity, the predominance of visual-figurative thinking, and the development of voluntary regulation, internal plan of action, and reflection, create a favorable foundation for engaging children in research activities within the educational process in primary school. Drawing on L.S. Vygotsky's cultural-historical approach and the theory of learning activity by D.B. Elkonin and V.V. Davydov, the article demonstrates that research activity not only aligns with the mental development of primary school children but also serves as an effective means for developing their cognitive abilities and personal qualities. Practical approaches for utilizing the age-specific characteristics of primary school children in primary general education are proposed, including examples of tasks aimed at developing research skills and a tiered approach to their organization. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity for primary school teachers to transition from the traditional role of knowledge transmitters to that of organizers of research activity.

The relevance of this study is due to the following reasons: the demand of modern society for the training of teachers who will use digital tools in educational organizations; the need to develop new media resources and methods of interaction in the virtual word; and the social demand for training teachers who can conduct research related to the educational process. The aim of this article is to describe the experience of organizing the digital environment in teaching pedagogical disciplines to graduate students. The research is based on the following methodological approaches: systemic, conceptual, empirical, scientific and activity-based approaches. The main result of this research is the presentation of the academic model of the digital educational and methodological complex for teaching pedagogical disciplines to graduate students. The part of the digital educational and methodological complex is a multimedia training unit that includes pedagogical lecture presentations, a multimedia textbook and a creative module that allows graduate students to create their own pedagogical assignments on the LeraningApps platform. This study also presents the potential of the ChatGPT neural network for developing the cognitive activity of graduate students, which is also the result of the research described in the article. Criticism, creativity, cognitive interest, motivation for learning, self-reflection skills and pedagogical competences as components of cognitive activity can be developed using assignments created by the chatbot. The next result of this research is the confirmation that the developed digital educational and methodological complex allows the digital learning environment to be adapted to the educational capabilities of graduate students and their personal characteristics. The digital educational environment involves the use of virtual communication tools to simplify the interaction process between the subjects of the educational process. The description of the virtual interaction peculiarities is also a result of the pedagogical research. The theoretical significance of the article is represented by the contribution to the development of the theory of digital learning at the master’s degree level. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the presented digital educational and methodological complex can serve as an example of one of the effective trajectories implemented in the pedagogical master’s degree studies in the digital environment of the university.

The article examines the role of verbal teaching methods in activating the cognitive activity of students in secondary vocational education. At the Bryukhovoetsky multidisciplinary technical college, a study was conducted on the influence of lively pedagogical speech, conversation, and problem-based explanation on the academic motivation of economic profile students. It is shown that the integration of traditional verbal techniques with interactive technologies contributes to the growth of a value-based attitude towards learning and professional self-determination.
