Formation of Cognitive Autonomy of Students Through the Implementation of Cross-Curricular Links by Means of Mobile Technologies

Abstract

The article analyzes the directions of application of cross-curricular links in the modern conditions of secondary school. The experience of integration of crosscurricular links in teaching of natural subjects is characterized. The importance of the use of computer technologies in teaching natural sciences is emphasized, given their specificity. It is suggested as alternative information and communication technologies to use mobile devices during the educational process to realize cross-curricular links as a way of forming cognitive autonomy of students. In this work the directions of realization of cross-curricular relations for teaching of natural sciences are analyzed. The author proposes tasks that can be used to establish cross-curricular links in natural-science lessons, and provides electronic resources that can be used to create cross-curricular tasks, and outlines ways to accomplish these tasks through mobile technology. The text justifies the difficulties faced by teachers in the implementation of crosscurricular links in the teaching of natural subjects, in particular due to the inconsistency of some topics of school curricula, lack of a base of theoretical and methodological materials for the creation of cross-curricular problems for natural subjects, etc. The article shows the positive impact of cross-curricular integration on natural science lessons to increase cognitive interest and formation of cognitive autonomy of students. It is noted that the development of cross-curricular content tasks that are appropriate to use in the educational process of natural sciences remains an urgent task. A promising area of research is the integration of cross-curricular linkages in the course of completing project tasks and participating in project activities, which has a positive impact on students' cognitive abilities. Further exploration will be achieved through cross-curricular links in the research, taking into account the capabilities of mobile devices, both built-in (camera,
