The ways of visualization of the content of educational material on pedagogy (denotation graph, frame, intellectual maps) in the course of studying the topic "Technology of project training" are revealed. The variants of visualization of the content of the educational material on the project technology of training with the help of a frame, a denotation graph, and intellectual maps are offered.
