METHODICAL ASPECTS OF USING VIRTUAL MUSEUMS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN GENERAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS by Наталія Сороко

“…The use of virtual museums in the educational process makes it possible to effectively solve the following basic didactic tasks: ensuring the scientific nature for students'education mastery of scientific knowledge and promoting the formation of a democratic worldview in them that based on credible scientific facts and corresponds to the dynamics of of relevant scientific knowledge development; strengthening the clarity of learning as a principle of didactics, due to the nature of the process of cognition, which begins with sensory perception, moves to abstract thinking, and from it to practice; development of student’s cognitive interests and abilities as a principle of didactics, which determines the most important motives for student learning (formation of cognitive interests occurs through two ways: through the material that constitutes the content of learning and organization of students cognitive activity); the use of virtual museums can affect students' visual and auditory memory; accelerating the pace of learning and memorizing learning material, which contributes to the strength of knowledge, expanding the cognitive interests of students; the intensification of students' independent work; the connection between theory and practice, which necessitates the reflection of two inextricably linked aspects of a single education process; individualization of learning. …”
