Formation patterns of schoolchildren’s scientific linguistic world picture at Russian language lessons in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the importance of forming a scientific linguistic picture of the world in the Russian language lessons as a cognitive component of the students’ linguistic worldview and to the need of developing linguistic-methodological foundations to achieve this aim. The aim of the study is to identify and describe the patterns of forming the scientific linguistic world picture in the process of teaching Russian in secondary schools. Theoretical analysis of scientific literature, observation, pedagogical experiment were used as scientific methods. The scientific publications on cultural linguistics, cognitive linguistics, theory and methodology of teaching the Russian language were the research materials. The definition of the concept “scientific linguistic picture of the world” is given in relation to the tasks of teaching the Russian language. The authors revealed that the formation of the scientific linguistic picture of the world is formed through learning new words and concepts as a result of observation, analysis and interpretation of language phenomena from linguistic positions during categorization and conceptualization primarily at the lexical level. The formation of scientific linguistic world picture is based on the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired at Russian language lessons and, to a certain extent, is set in the guidelines of the textbook authors. The main didactic means of forming the scientific linguistic world picture is the scientific linguistic text. The leading method of forming the scientific linguistic world picture is cognitive linguistic tasks, including comparative ones. Prospects for further study of the problem lie in developing a methodology for forming a scientific linguistic world picture at Russian language lessons on the basis of various sections of linguistics.
