Features of formation of cognitive competence in pupils in the system of integrated lessons in the study of natural disciplines

Abstract

Statistics show the characteristics of cognitive skills training in schoolchildren in the system of integrated lessons. The authors have developed a set of integrated geography and biology lessons on the theme: "Man and Nature" for grade 8 students. The results of the control stage of the study showed that cognitive motivation values increased in the majority of students in the experimental group. As evidenced by the data, the use of integrated learning in the experimental group contributed to a significant increase in indicators. The authors found that the essence of integrated learning is that the structure of the training course contains distinct, closely related sections.
