Development of analytical skills in students at different age stages in the process of experimentation

Abstract

The article deals with the concept of «analytical skills». The authors substantiate that the method of experimentation can act as a pedagogical tool in the development of analytical skills in students, since it is aimed at the development of thought processes. The features of the development of analytical skills in students at each of the periods of the educational process - the period of preschool education, school education and vocational education are indicated. The purpose of the article is to determine the possibilities of the method of experimentation in the development of analytical skills in students at various stages (preschool period, period of schooling, period of vocational education). Research methods when writing an article - analysis of previously completed scientific works, synthesis, generalization of scientific information, systematization. Results of the study: 1) the features of the development of analytical skills in students at different age stages when using the method of experimentation are highlighted; 2) the levels of development of analytical skills among students are determined - initial, basic, advanced; 3) the characteristics of the levels of development of analytical skills are given; 4) the relationship between the stages and levels of development of analytical skills among students is presented in the form of a diagram. The novelty of the research is determined by: substantiation of the stages of development of analytical skills in students; correlation of stages and periods of education (preschool, school, the period of obtaining vocational education); substantiated the position that the development of analytical skills is possible only with the receipt of new information, new knowledge. The conclusions of the study reflect the possibilities of using the method of experimentation in the development of analytical skills in students at each of the stages of the educational process - the preschool period, school and the period of vocational education.
