ACTIVATION OF EDUCATIONAL AND COGNITIVE ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS IN THE CONDITIONS OF DISTANCE LEARNING
The article reveals the essence of the concept of intensification of educational and cognitive activities, analyzes the lecture form of learning and test assessment of knowledge as the most common ways to transfer, obtain information and control the acquisition of knowledge in the context of activating educational and cognitive activities of students during traditional (classroom) and remote format. It was found that the basis of cognitive activity is a complex intertwining of intellectual, volitional and emotional spheres of personality. Means of activating cognitive activity stimulate will and attention, expand opportunities for memorization, increase mental performance, optimize the functional state of students. The leading motivating factor for active mental activity of the student, as the main condition for the effectiveness and quality of learning, should be internal motivation related to personal development, professional growth, self-actualization, conscious desire to solve a problem, achieve something in life, not external coercive measures. Activation of educational and cognitive activities of students in the conditions of distance learning is facilitated by the following factors: awareness of the need, importance, expediency of studying the subject as a whole and by sections (topics); problem-solving, independent search and «discovery» of new knowledge; the relationship of new material with previously acquired knowledge: the more new information is related to previously acquired knowledge, the more interesting it is; educational material should be difficult enough, but feasible (too light or too complex material reduces cognitive interest); the more often the student's work is checked and evaluated (including by himself, educational devices, etc.), the more interesting it is for him to work.
