DEVELOPING STUDENTS' RESEARCH ABILITIES THROUGH CREATING SMALL ECOLOGICAL PROJECTS IN NATURAL SCIENCE AND READING LITERACY LESSONS
Abstract
This article highlights the pressing pedagogical issues of shaping a conscious attitude toward the environment and developing research skills in primary school students. The main objective of the study is to reveal the methodological possibilities of implementing small ecological projects in the lesson process through the mutual integration of natural sciences and reading literacy subjects. Completely moving away from traditional memorization methods, practical approaches aimed at developing students' logical and critical thinking are deeply analyzed.
