Abstract

The formation of research skills of elementary school students requires the creation of a system that has its own goals and objectives, as well as the creation of a supportive research environment consisting of classrooms, school yards, laboratories focused on the formation of research skills. Research activity is a specially organized cognitive creative activity of students, characterized by purposefulness, proactive attitude, clarity, motivation and consciousness, the result of which is the formation of the students’ cognitive motives, research skills, subjective new knowledge or methods of activity.However, according to the analysis of literary sources and the practical activity of general educational institutions, the problem of organizing and carrying out the research activities of younger students in the study of topics of natural and social orientation remains unsolved. The primary purpose of studying the content of social and health-saving fields in elementary school is to form the students’ natural competence by developing a system of integrated knowledge about nature and human. To achieve this goal, the curriculum provides a number of basic tasks, one of which is the formation of research skills and the ability of students to observe objects and phenomena of the animate and inanimate nature.One of the most effective forms of formation of research skills is excursion. Excursion is a special type of training that is conducted for the direct perception and observation of objects and phenomena of nature, related to the study of program material. Virtual excursion is an organizational form of training that is different from a real excursion by virtual display of real-life objects (museums, parks, city streets, etc.) in order to create the conditions for observation and gathering the necessary facts without assistance.
