In the spring of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic having started, and quarantine being introduced in the country, a transition was made to distance teaching/learning. Using online distance learning, a possibility naturally emerged for the primary school students to develop independence. And this is a very important competence part of learning how to learn. One of the most important independence criteria is - thoroughly completed work. Research focus – 3-rd form students’ knowledge and skills working independently. Aim – after analysing task activity worksheets, to assess students’ knowledge and skills, and to discuss students’ ability to work independently. It was suggested for the students that they watch a film in You Tube about a common sparrow and a field sparrow. An activity worksheet was prepared, which was sent to the students by e-mail. For the preparation of the task, a day was allotted. Nineteen 3-rd form students took part in the research. It was ascertained that some of the students lacked attentiveness searching for the similarities and differences of the analysed animals, patience carrying out the other tasks. Watching a film about a common sparrow and a field sparrow, the students acquired new knowledge about their biological peculiarities, living environment, behaviour. Answering the questions, the students already used new concepts. At the same time, they developed work with information recourses, research skills, improved comparing and confronting abilities. Nevertheless, almost half of the students lacked thoroughness, showing their independence. It was still difficult for the students to formulate full answers, therefore they could not fully demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. Girls, carrying out the tasks, were more observant and attentive than boys. Performing the tasks, students demonstrated reproductive and productive independence. Of course, you should not limit yourself in this, and in future you should more orient yourself to the development of creative independence. Keywords: activity worksheet, distance teaching, independent work, primary school students.

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.

There was a situation where students had to learn music independently more than they had done so far. The study aims to determine 2nd and 3rd grade students’ perspectives on independent distance learning of music during the Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve the aim of the study, previous researches on this issue were analysed, as well as an empirical study was carried out. The study involved 105 (N=105) primary school students in grades 2-3 and occurred in the second term of the 2019/2020 school year in a public primary school located in Riga. A questionnaire consisting of 20 statements was conducted to determine students’ perspectives on music distance learning independently. The twenty statements were divided into four groups: students’ independence, provision of technical aids, difficulties and attitude. The study revealed that the students’ skills to find and complete the tasks that are given by the teacher in the E-class are at a middle level. The students assessed their ability to learn to sing songs and perform music listening tasks independently at a high level. The students mostly used computers or mobile phones when they learned music at a distance. However, the majority of students faced a lack of technical aids. The study found out that complete music listening task was the easiest for the students, but a little harder was learning to sing songs. The most difficult part of learning for students was to complete a writing task because the possibility of printing it was limited. The students rated their attitude towards music distance learning independently at a middle level. Many students missed the presence of their teachers and longed for social activities in the classroom. The study concluded that there is a significant difference between 2nd and 3rd grade students’ skills to find independently the tasks sent by the teacher. Moreover, the 3rd grade students wanted to learn music independently at a distance more than the 2nd grade students did. The study provides evidence-based data on primary school students’ readiness to learn music independently at a distance.

This article presents the results of a survey of parents about distance learning of their children, primary school children, during quarantine. In a sociological study, interviews were conducted with families of third grade students from St. Petersburg schools. The answers to the questions were processed using the Russian computer program “Discant”. As a result of the analysis, six leading thematic leitmotifs for a story about a new educational experience were identified. It was found that the main disadvantages of distance learning are considered by the parents to be the load on the schoolchild’s family, the large expenditure of time, and the discrepancy between teaching methods and the child’s age. According to parents, the advantages of distance education are safety, comfortable schedule, digital educational technologies. Conclusions of the project are the preference of a mixed format for teaching primary school children during quarantine.
