MORAL EDUCATION OF YOUNGER STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATIVE PEDAGOGY

Abstract

Modern trends in the education system imply an innovative approachnot only to the learning process, but also to the education of pupils. The formation of the moral potential of younger schoolchildren is the key to the social development of the future; most of the existing research in the field of education is aimed at realizing this task. However, education, defined as a social and sensory phenomenon, is difficult to digitalize, and therefore the article proposes options for diagnosing the structural components of this concept. The aim of the work is to study the influence of integrative pedagogy on the formation and development of the moral potential of students. The author proposes a methodological platform that implements this goal through integrative material.Materials and methods.The article describes a comprehensive study of the moral potential of elementary school students. The research plan consisted of determining the actual level of formation of moral competencies, introducing integration developments, and determining the incremental level of selected competencies. The sample included 208 primary school children. Research methods are described in the methodological platform for the formation of moral competencies and are effective under certain conditions. The results were processed by statistical analysis; a scheme for determining the weight value of the components of the phenomenon of morality was proposed.Results.The proposed mechanism made it possible to break the concept of "Moral potential" into structural components, which are given a certain value (weight value). The criteria for determining the level of formation of moral competencies for each category are identified. Based on the organizational and didactic model for the implementation of integrative developments, a comparative analysis of the data wascarried out, taking into account the time component. The coefficient of moral activity is calculated on the example of individual cards of respondents, a formula for calculating the general moral potential is proposed.The process of introducing an integrative learning model as a tool that contributes to the growth of this moral material is described. The possibilities of integrative learning for the formation of social-sensory competencies are noted.Discussion and conclusion.The results of the study make a significant contribution to both theoretical and practical pedagogy. The study expands the understanding of the possibilities of integrative learning, the mechanisms for increasing the moral potential of students. The mobility of the proposed formulas,criteria, certain weight values of moral categories makes it possible to use this material in the diagnosis of other social and personal phenomena.
