  • O.M. Korchazhkina

Abstract

The paper considers a problem of how to measure the efficiency of students’ cognitive activities as the planned outcomes in compliance with the achieved ones, both expressed in terms of specific products of learning and cognitive activities that are obtained while performing mental tasks. Combining the style of teaching and learningmethods with the use of pedagogical and new information technologies integrated while performing various types of tasks is discussed. An example of how to verbalize the results achieved during the learning activities with the use of mobile devices is given. The way of verbalizing is based on Bloom’s taxonomy action verbs. It is found out that the level of how well students perform cognitive tasks with the use of information and communication technologies depends on their teacher’s ability to collaborate with them while developing all forms of their mental activity, which leads to building an integrated personal cognitive style for each student.
