How variability of learning activities enhances students’ cognitive independence

Abstract

Providing the variability of learning activities activates students’ reflection mechanisms thus forming their cognitive independence. The organization of the learning process according to the individual educational path facilitates the variability of learning activities. Development of individual educational paths based on the use of modern information technologies ensures the variability of the tasks for independent learning activities. The idea of individualizing the educational process is based on the idea of "navigating" the movement in the educational space. All this can be realized through providing the choice and creation of conditions for the implementation of students’ individual educational paths.
