ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ LEGО-ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ НА УРОКАХ МАТЕМАТИКИ В ПОЧАТКОВІЙ ШКОЛІ: ТЕОРЕТИЧНИЙ ВИМІР

Abstract

The first step in the reform of education in Ukraine at the current stage was the "New Ukrainian School". It is a platform for reforming secondary education, which begins with primary school. The decisive changes in this reform are the need for new approaches to learning, with the help of which competencies will be formed in younger school children through modeling and research actions, and not through theoretical material. It is the integration of knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as methods of thinking, values and other individual qualities, which enables children to achieve success in regular training activities and in their future. State standards for primary education orient teachers towards humanizing the education process and creating conditions for viewing the content of primary education, forms, methods, teaching technologies in order to activate the educational and cognitive activities of applicants for primary education and increase their motivation, contributes to the development of key and subject competencies. The article clarifies the concept of "LEGO-constructor", "LEGO-elements", LEGO-technology and considers the main provisions concerning the application of LEGO-technology in teaching of primary school children. Scientific approaches to the use of LEGO technology in primary education are characterized; the general characteristics of the concept of LEGO technology as a variant of educational technologies, the influence of LEGO technology on the development of younger school children, advantages and directions of application are analyzed. The use of LEGO-technology in mathematics lessons contributes to the comprehensive development of primary school children, the formation of a holistic picture of the world, the development of constructive skills, ideas about spatial relationships, geometric shapes, numbers, arithmetic operations, symmetry and so on. Working with LEGO educational constructors potentiate the younger student to learn many important ideas in the form of a cognitive game and develops the skills of a socially active, creative personality necessary in later life, independently generates new ideas and makes non-standard decisions. The use of LEGO technology in mathematics lessons in primary school is an efficient tool for the formation of key and subject competencies.
