ON THE COMMUNICATIVE AND COGNITIVE COMPETENCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The article examines the communicative and cognitive approach in primary school, which significantly changes the roles of the student and the teacher. A student becomes an active participant in the educational process. The modern school needs didactic tools that could create effective pedagogical conditions for teaching younger students. To improve the quality of education in secondary schools, it is necessary to take into account the dynamics of students’ motives. The coincidence of the goals of teaching and learning of all subjects of the educational process is an important condition for the successful implementation of the communicative-cognitive approach in primary school education. It is the younger school age that is extremely favorable for mastering communication skills due to a special sensitivity to linguistic phenomena, interest in understanding speech experience, and communication. Therefore, the development of a student’s communicative competence is an urgent task of the educational process of primary school.
