Creation of Creolized Texts During Teaching “Geometry” in 7-Th Class

Abstract

The article raises the issue of teaching seventh-grade children a systematic course “Geometry”. It is proposed to create reference notes in the form of creolized texts, which are already penetrating into modern education. Their main components are the verbal part (inscription) and the iconic part (figure). This concept and three ways of their formation are revealed: verbal text + image, image + verbal text, verbal text = image. Given the peculiarities of the new generation, in the educational process, we propose to use more the second method of creolized texts formation. This approach to the study of geometry is justified by the need to take into account the peculiarity of the modern generation – clip thinking. The article reveals the concept of “clip thinking”. This concept was introduced in the '90s and means a person's perception of the world around him as a sequence of unrelated phenomena. Such thinking has positive aspects, among which it is important to quickly perceive information, mainly by reading the image-picture. And the negative aspects that negatively affect the ability of the younger generation to learn, analyze, generalize, and find cause-and-effect relationships. These negative aspects need to be overcome in every geometry lesson, teaching children to analyze both when solving problems and when creating reference summaries of theoretical material in the form of creolized texts. In the article, the author gives a schematic summary of all the basic geometric material, which children study in the seventh grade (according to the textbook of O. Ister). It is the creation of such a syllabus in the seventh grade and its continuation in the next grades (and this is a mandatory part of the teaching methodology) that promotes the better mastering by students of a systematic course in geometry. This synopsis will be their guide in preparation for the state final certification in the ninth grade.
