Abstract:
The article deals with the formation peculiarities of natural science
competence of elementary school students. The definitions of
"competency" and "competence" are specified. The literary analysis
indicated a lack of study of the investigated problem in the context of
educational reform. Didactic conditions for the formation of natural
science competence in conditions of inclusive education are determined.
The emphasis is focused on pedagogical technologies that involve
individualization, differentiation and integration of learning.
Integrated lessons contribute to the formation of substantive and
interdisciplinary key competencies. In 1-2 classes the formation of natural
science competence should be based on an integrated-subject basis with
the predominance of game techniques. In 3-4 classes the formation of
natural science competence should be based on an integrated-subject basis
with the predominance of means of individualization and differentiation.
