Inculcating the Cognitive Interest in Geometry Lessons

Abstract

The aim of the study: to identify the conditions and methods for the formation of cognitive interest among secondary school students.

Research methods: theoretical research methods (analysis, synthesis, concretization, generalization), approbation.

Results. Some methods of stimulating attention to the subject under study are considered on the example of tasks on the topic "Solving a triangle". Mastering the methodology for solving such problems increases the mental and creative abilities of students, they acquire the first skills of research work.

Conclusions. The implementation by the teacher of a creative approach to the formulation of tasks contributes to the activation of the cognitive activity of students. In the course of solving geometric problems, students acquire the ability to independently set and achieve goals, acquire new knowledge, and competently work with information.
