Conditions for the development of generalized problem solving in primary school

The aim of the study was to determine the possibilities of forming a generalized method of solving plot-logical problems in fourth-graders. It was assumed that the author's program "Logic 1" provides such possibilities. The program includes 8 types of plot-logical problems of non-educational content. Each type of problem is offered to children in four structural variants: find the answer, find the question, find part of the conditions, change the answer by replacing part of the conditions. The control group consisted of 73 students, the experimental group - 49 students who participated in 32 group classes (weekly, from September to May). Initial and final diagnostics of the generalized method of solving problems were carried out. The study showed that classes according to the school program and the "Logic 1" program contribute to the formation of a generalized method of solving problems to a significantly greater extent than classes only according to the school program. In further studies, it is planned to determine the extent to which the "Logic 1" program contributes to the formation of a generalized method of solving problems in younger adolescents.
