It is shown that the practice of the school educational process, becoming experimental, acquires an additional function – the function of the scientific method of psychological and pedagogical research. It is established that the transformation of the scheme of factor planning into a special subject of pupils’ learning the structural characteristics of educational activities and the organization of active learning activities with them is a condition of pupils’ productive individual constructing their own educational activities and corresponds to the pedagogical objectives of the forming experiment. It is found out that the individual forming experiment helps to discover the regularities of the formation of the training peculiarities in the conditions of individual education. It is established that the forming experiment allows us to study and evaluate not only the things that exists, but also the things that should exist, because it allows us to study phenomena in the most favorable conditions for their development (one can even say that in the most natural conditions). It is shown that the forming experiment was practiced in its development. It is found that mnemonic activities and its formation take place at two stages: firstly, mastering mental operations as independent actions, then – as means of mnemonic activities. It is confirmed that the further development of the forming experiment was associated with the implementation of the general theoretical position on the indissoluble connection of mental and external subject activities in specific psychological research.
