Abstract

The article describes the peculiarities of the work with textual information in the context of development of junior pupils’ management and leadership skills. Theoretical foundations of creating a system of tasks for working with texts were determined; they include consideration of the essence of the concepts of “information”, “text”, features of information, peculiarities of text data, characteristics of the text, diversified text information content, age peculiarities of perception, comprehension, processing of a text by primary school pupils. The essence of the author’s series-symmetric technology of the work was described; the basis for them are the following: increase in complexity of tasks by changing the types of the texts; gradual complication of each of the text types, the systematic reduction of the proposed issues and the increase of the issues created by pupils; the texts of various kinds, types, genres. It is suggested to ensure the organization of the work with textual information in the context of development of the junior pupils’ management and leadership skills by applying such models of cooperation as co-imitative model of cooperation (game “Teacher – Student”), co-mentoring cooperation model (game “Assistant”), co-control cooperation model (game “Executive-controller”), co-individual cooperation model (game “Piggy”), coequal model (play “Partners”). In terms of the formation of the appropriate level of collaboration skills in pairs it is advisable to introduce a similar group work on the texts gradually; such work includes interactive learning technologies, “Mike”, “Brainstorming”, “Three-step interview”, “I study by learning”, “Think on your own – Discussion with a partner – Discussion with a group”, “Make the class move”, “Carousel”, work in groups by playing schoolchildren’s role of a team leader, a secretary, a speaker, “Aquarium”, “Decision tree”.
