ABOUT THE META-SUBJECT COMPETENCE OF THE STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN EDUCATION

Today, in the modern context of adoption of Federal State Educational Standard for school practice, the issues concerned with the achievement of meta-subject learning results become very important. The article presents the author's vision of the essence of meta-subject competence of the students, gives the definition of its concept, and considers one of the possibilities of its formation.

The concept of the competence is described from the perspective of psychology-pedagogical researches through the person characteristics defining the individual’s ability to organize internal and external resources for the goal achievement and his willingness to use the acquired knowledge and skills in the personally-important practical activity. It is shown that the meta-subject approach is the core of Russian educational system and aims to assure the integral imaginative perception of the world. The interdisciplinary competence is presented as essential and considered as the carrying out of universal (meta-subject) learning activities.

The authors understand its formation as the process of purposeful and well-organized acquisition by social actors of integral sustainable features and qualities needed to get the ability for self-activity, and the willingness to apply knowledge and skills and to carry out universal learning activity. It can be implemented in different ways, and the authors suggest to use distant learning technologies (network projects and Academic Olympics, distance lessons, play extra-curricular activities, etc.).

The meta-subject competence components and their content are identified as: regulative (preparation, planning and development of activity algorithm, self-monitoring and the results evaluation), cognitive (searching, acquisition and critical re-evaluation of the information, the usage of signs and symbols for its systematization), communicative (self-planning of distance educational cooperation, the reference of personal ambitions and other participants interests, productive interaction, the results presentation).
