The thesis deals with the results of the study of the process of cognitive activity formation of primary schoolchildren in art lessons by means of computer technologies.
The thesis suggests an interpretation of the content of the concepts «activity», «cognitive activity», «computer technologies», «creativity».
The structure of educational and cognitive activity primary schoolchildren is substantiated, which includes three interrelated components: motivational (implies motivation due to interest in the studied subject and art in general; ability of schoolchildren to mobilize physical and mental forces in the process of mastering knowledge and skills in the art field), intellectual-processual (includes the necessary knowledge about art, the formation of relevant skills and abilities; the ability to successfully perform various artistic tasks; the intensity of participation in various types of artistic activity), personal-cognitive (determines the level of energy and activity of schoolchildren in art lessons, curiosity and conscientiousness in the process of acquiring artistic knowledge, abilities and skills by students).
The process of forming the cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons by means of computer technologies is provided by the following scientific approaches: personally oriented approach, activity approach.
The principles of the modern system of musical education of schoolchildren are: active mastering of art, the formation of interest in musical activities, enthusiasm for musical activities, variability and flexibility, the development of an aesthetic sense.
The general pedagogical principles include: consciousness and activity princple, scientific principle, the connection of learning with practice, systematic principle, accessibility principle, visualization principle.
It was established that the achievement of high-quality results of experimental work within the framework of the researched problem is possible due to the connection and interaction between the relevant teaching methods, which contributes to the creative use of acquired knowledge, abilities and skills in the process of cognitive activity formation. Within the framework of the study, the following was defined and used: the visual method; the verbal method; the practical method; the explanatory and illustrative method; the reproductive method; the heuristic (partially searching) method.
Pedagogical conditions for the formation of the cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons by means of computer technologies have been determined: the introduction of the educational complex „Art and computer technologies at primary school“; the organization of a modern integrated informational and educational environment, which will contribute to increasing the intensity and effectiveness of the process of forming the cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons by means of computer technologies; introduction of a person-oriented approach in the process of forming the cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons by means of computer technologies.
In the process of implementing the specified pedagogical conditions, the following forms were used: art lessons, extracurricular activities, musical creativity, dramatization of songs, fairy tales, musical concerts, improvisations.
A schematic model of the specified process has been developed, which includes blocks (target, content-procedural, evaluation-resultative); principles, components and criteria of the research object, pedagogical conditions, forms and means of implementation aimed at achieving the set goal and the relationship between them. An experimental study of the formation of cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons with the help of computer technologies was carried out in the conditions of ascertaining and formative experiments.
Thus, for the first time in Ukrainian pedagogical science, a holistic study of the process of forming the cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons with the help of computer technologies was carried out, namely: the state of development of the researched problem in domestic and foreign science was revealed; the structure of cognitive activity was developed in the unity of motivational, intellectualprocessual, personal-cognitive components; the method of formation of researched activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons with the help of computer technologies is substantiated in the composition of principles, methods, pedagogical conditions, forms and means. An experimental verification of the effectiveness of the proposed method of forming the cognitive activity of primary schoolchildren in art lessons using computer technologies was carried out.
