Abstract

Aim. To identify the didactic possibilities of modern pedagogical forms, methods and means in the formation of cognitive interest of younger schoolchildren in Russian language lessons.

Methods. Comparative analysis of scientific and methodological and educational literature, generalization of advanced and own pedagogical experience, comparison, analytical conclusions, observation.

Result. In the modern educational process, it is important not only to transfer knowledge, but also an incentive for their active assimilation. The learning process should be based on interaction, where each student is not just a passive listener, but an active participant in cognitive activity. To create conditions conducive to the development of interest, it is necessary to use a variety of methods and techniques. From these positions, the implementation of gaming technologies, project activities and the integration of various subjects can significantly increase the level of student engagement. Group work, discussions and creative tasks contribute to the formation of stable motivation and the formation of cognitive interest in learning the russian language.

Conclusion. Regular analysis and adaptation of teaching methods depending on the interests and needs of primary school students help to form a high level of their cognitive activity. Openness to new approaches and willingness to change make the learning process more dynamic and exciting, which, in turn, forms a stable motivation for lifelong learning.
