Introduction. The means and methods of computerized learning introduced into the education system in recent years are changing the attitude towards writing with a pen. Children are increasingly typing on a keyboard. This brings into focus research investigations aimed at identifying the possible influence of the above-mentioned type of educational activity on the indicators of psychomotor skills. The purpose of this research is to study accuracy and speed indicators of psychomotor coordination when working with hands in primary school students, depending on the amount of computer load (screen time). Materials and Methods. The study involved 4205 primary schoolchildren in grades 1-4 from 66 educational settings in Moscow (5 academic years, testing took place in October and March-April; all samples were independent). Indicators of psychomotor coordination (speed, accuracy, and smoothness of movements) when performing a motor test using "computer movement meter" (CMM) device were evaluated. The amount of lesson and out-of-school screen time was evaluated by teachers, relying on the hygiene standards: 0 points – no load, 1 point – compliance with hygiene standards, 2 points – twice exceeding the standards, 3 points – exceeding the standards by 3 or more times. Statistical data processing was performed using nonparametric criteria. Results. The research revealed the correlation between the total (lesson and out-of-school) screen time and indicators of psychomotor coordination in primary schoolchildren. The most obvious differences in psychomotor indices were found at the very beginning of school education – in October, in the 1st grade: in children with a minimum amount of computer load, the indicators of speed and accuracy were the worst. Speed indicators of psychomotor skills in groups of children (especially boys) with a high computer load have seasonal variability in the form of improvement by the end of the school year. Accurate indicators of psychomotor skills, on the contrary, with an increase in the amount of general computer load, lose variability and decrease. The smoothness of movements did not depend on the screen time. Conclusions. The identified changes in the psychomotor skills of primary school students who are active computer-users can be considered as a positive adaptive response in the form of developing new motor skills.

The article considers the problem of improving the state of self-educational activity of primary school students in terms of limiting the lessons of the organization of the study of school subjects. The purpose of the article is to substantiate a holistic approach to educating students in the need for self-educational activities with a book while studying certain topics and sections of school subjects. Types of independent work of students with a book are analyzed on the basis of the number of textbooks (single and multi-textbooks), the results of their written processing (plan, thesis, citations, notes, synopsis, review, annotation, abstract). The advanced character of extracurricular work with the book in relation to studying of subjects at lessons is offered. The peculiarities of the formation of students’ ability to find and process books on educational subjects are revealed: methods of preliminary acquaintance with the text, rules of reading the book, regularities of memorizing its content. Means of determining the depth and stability of the expression of students’ needs in self-educational activities with a book (observation of students’ learning activities, conversations with them, parents and teachers, analysis of students’ library forms) are identified. The levels of cognitive self-educational activity of students with a book and the norms of time for their performance by students are analyzed: reproductive, reconstructive-variable, heuristic and creative (search) independent works. The method of expert assessments established the time spent on self-educational types of work with a book of different levels of cognitive independence of students. Observations of students ‘independent work with the book, questionnaires, self-photographs and timing helped to determine the actual cost of students’ time to complete educational tasks from literary sources. Experimentally established average norms of time spent by students on various types of self-educational activities with a book: reading basic and additional literature, notes, the use of literary sources to perform creative tasks.

The educational process in a modern primary school involves a change in the position of the student: from the object of study they become active subjects of educational activities, which requires the activation of their self-organization. At the same time, the essence and purpose of education is not in the scholastic increase of information, but in the information support of the constant development of an individual. This problem is especially relevant in the context of distance learning in the New Ukrainian School (NUS), so increasingly popular are learning technologies aimed at enhancing the educational and cognitive activities of students and forming their readiness for independent work. Life in modern society requires that an individual develops the qualities of autonomy and organization: independence, initiative, ability to think creatively, etc. These qualities are considered as components of a single process of self-organization of an individual. Synergetic can be interpreted as a methodological basis for educational, prognostic, organizational and didactic-managerial educational activities. We characterize synergetic as an opportunity to solve problems of education in accordance with modern challenges. Despite numerous studies, the problem of implementing a synergetic approach in the formation of skills of self-organization of educational activities of primary school students remains open. The article describes the synergetic approach as a methodological basis of the theory of self-organization of educational activities of junior schoolchildren. The research of scientists in the field of synergetic, namely the transformation of its ideas in pedagogy as a basic idea of the theory of self-organization of educational activities of primary school students, analyzes the key ideas and positions of synergetic through the prism of interpretation of the educational process. The explication of the problem is carried out in the context of the analysis of the pedagogical system of primary school. The study presents the features of the synergetic approach in the first grade school. The essence of the synergetic approach as an interdisciplinary direction of cognition is considered. It is established that the synergetic approach allows to form self-organization of educational activity. It has been studied that the educational process in primary school can also be considered an open system, as it carries out a continuous process of exchange of information (knowledge) between teacher and students (feedback), and constantly changing the content of education according to society as a whole. The content of educational and cognitive activities during the formation of skills of self-organization of primary school students from the point of view of synergetic approach is revealed. The main regularities of the process of teaching junior schoolchildren as an open and complex system and a complex of multicomponent, interdisciplinary and multilevel knowledge are outlined, providing an opportunity to identify the main areas of synergetic ideas in the educational process. It is concluded that the implementation of a synergetic approach to the management and organization of the educational process of primary school will significantly increase its efficiency, make the educational process more flexible and universal.

Assessment Technology

The article is devoted to the analysis of the rating assessment of the activity of a primary school student. The article analyzes modern systems for assessing the student's educational activity, identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the five-point control system. The transition from an evaluation-free system to an evaluation system is described in detail. The rating assessment technology was tested in a number of schools in Ulyanovsk (8 schools) and in the Ulyanovsk region (4 schools). The schoolchildren participating in the experiment were trained in classes of the same age, but according to different educational and methodological complexes. The breadth of the experimental base helped to test the effectiveness of our chosen approach to assessing primary school students. In addition, a survey was conducted of 20 primary school teachers regarding their viewpoint to the assessment system. Based on the survey, the authors revealed characteristic features of the rating control system and described in detail its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the prospects for use in primary grades. A pedagogical experiment has shown that the use of a rating assessment reduces psychological stress before assessment, which contributes to a more successful assimilation of curricula by students, an increase in the level of their knowledge, abilities and skills. The use of a rating assessment develops the logical creativity, thinking of the child, increases his interest in learning, and contributes to the development of his outlook. In addition to the obvious advantages, the rating control system has disadvantages. The survey participants emphasized that the shortcomings of the rating system for assessing the learning activity of primary school students are the lack of didactic material, as well as low stimulation of active learning activity throughout the school time. To overcome this shortcoming of the rating control system, it is advisable to use, together with rating assessment, personal-comparative pre-rating, aimed at fixing the dynamics of the student's personal development. In addition, the article discusses the features of the application of the rating assessment technology in the conditions of level differentiation and blended learning of younger students.
