Psychological and pedagogical aspects of teaching natural sciences.

Abstract

Modern education is being modernized and renewed. The goals, priorities, content, and values of primary general education are changing. There is a shift from the formation of knowledge, skills, and abilities to the development of children’s personality and abilities. These changes affected the natural science education in elementary school. When teaching natural science in elementary school, the task of developing the personality of elementary schoolchildren, the formation of the foundations of their scientific thinking in the field of nature and society, and learning how to understand the world around, comes to the fore. It is possible to form these qualities when taking into account the psychological and pedagogical aspects of teaching natural science to primary schoolchildren.
