How are we to maintain motivation, the desire to learn among the “digital generation” – schoolchildren who live partly in the real world, partly in the virtual world of social networks, the Internet and gadgets? The previously existing for a long time cognitive (knowledge) approach does not allow the student, the main participant in the educational process, to fill the knowledge that he received in the learning process with personal meaning. In order that the student's activity to be successful, it is necessary to develop the meaning sphere of adolescents, filling knowledge with personal meaning, bringing the educational process to the personal- meaning level. The article discusses a meaning-didactic approach to organizing the educational process. The teacher is faced with an important task, developing the meaning sphere of students, to help them achieve that very “my meaning”.
