Abstract

A. N. Leontyev considers the problem of conscientiousness of teaching as a problem of the meaning that the knowledge he acquires for a child. The author argues that the subject should be of interest to the student. Only in this case does he become the "sphere of purpose" of the student associated with the motive that motivates him.
