Terminology block:

1. The concept is introduced into the scientific circle for the first time:

For the first time, the structural-functional model covering the following blocks is substantiated: theoretical (goal, approaches, principles), organizational (stages of model implementation, pedagogical conditions), methodical (forms of organization of the learning process, methods, means of modeling, content; accompanying methodological materials); a sub-model block (a sub-model for organizing the teaching of physics teachers in postgraduate pedagogical education institutions, a sub-model for organization of independent cognitive activity of pupils in an elementary school) and a productive block (components and levels of readiness, the result as a transition to a higher level of readiness); components of readiness (poly-motivational, goal setting, content, executive and reflexive) are defined.

2. The interpretation of the concepts is specified:

Independent cognitive activity of students is a process of mastering knowledge about objects of cognition and ways of acting with them on the basis of self-management by own actions.

Training simulation – a set of actions (modeling actions, mental and practical actions and operations), carried out by students in the process of constructing a learning model and its study.

Readiness of teachers of physics to organize independent cognitive activity of senior pupils by means of modeling is a holistic personality formation, the components of which are poly-motivational, goal setting, content, performing and reflexive components, which together provide a productive organization of independent cognitive activity of students using one or several modeling means.

Organization of independent cognitive activity of senior pupils by means of modeling on the basis of application of management cycle (planning, organization, management, control, regulation, coordination) is improved.

Annotation block:

1. Annotation on the scientific research

The thesis reflects the results of the scientific search on the problem of the readiness of physics teachers to organize the independent cognitive activity of high school students by modeling means. The essence of independent cognitive activity is revealed; the modeling tools (physical, mathematical, computer simulation, simulation of the task situation and the process of problem solving, pedagogical modeling, modeling-remembering, modeling of prediction, modeling of laboratory work and modeling-prognostication, modeling of the experiment) were characterized. Pedagogical conditions of realization of the studied pedagogical phenomenon are determined; components, criteria, indicators, characteristics (initial, middle and high) levels of formation in the teachers of the physics of the studied readiness. The model of development of readiness of physics teachers for organization of independent cognitive activity of senior pupils by means of modeling is substantiated and tested. According to the results of the pedagogical experiment, the positive dynamics of the readiness of physics teachers for the organization of independent cognitive activity of high school students by means of modeling was recorded.

2. Information on the components of the scientific work that can be implemented in the educational process in order to make modernization changes.

The practical significance of the results is the development and implementation of teaching and methodological support for the process of organization of teachers of the physics of independent cognitive activity of senior pupils by means of modeling in the educational process of the Institute of postgraduate pedagogical education (methods for diagnosing the levels of readiness of physics teachers for the organization of independent cognitive activity of high school students by means of modeling; special course "Theory and practice of the readiness of physics teachers to organize themselves the informative cognitive activity of the students through means of modeling", accompanying methodological materials, which are systematized in the manual "Theory and practice of physicians' readiness preparation for the organization of independent cognitive activity of senior pupils by means of modeling"; matrices of organization of independent cognitive activity of senior pupils by means of modeling on the principles of the management cycle).
