Project task in the system of learning tasks

modern educational standards in schools are distinguished by the requirement to introduce activity content. The most relevant question from the point of view of the practice of its implementation is how to project and include such content in the educational process. While in science there is still no clear understanding of what to put as a unit of activity content, common at all levels of school education. The author proposes to build the continuity of the content of educational, research and project activities on the learning task- the approach developed by V. V. Davydov for primary school. In determining the essence of the learning task for project, the article develops the idea of Yu. V. Gromyko about the project concept as an integrative unit of its content. The reflexive movement of the project team to the idea and optimal form of functional organization and self-determination of each participant in a practical, social and individually colored situation are justified as essential characteristics of the learning task for project.
