A research lesson as an alternative to a traditional lesson in a primary school mathematics course

Abstract

The analysis of the effectiveness of a research lesson in comparison with a traditional math lesson in elementary school is carried out. Using the example of studying the topic “The Displacement law of addition”, it is demonstrated how the research approach promotes deep and conscious assimilation of the material. The conducted pedagogical experiment and comparative analysis of the teaching methods of L.G. Peterson and M.I. Moro confirm the advantages of the research lesson in the development of research skills and critical thinking.
