Revealing skills of elementary school students to work together in situation of socio-cognitive conflict

The article considers relevant for modern school education meta-subject ability of elementary school students to work together. Evaluation of this ability formation is the aim of the study. We propose a new diagnostic technique to assess students’ group work success in conditions of externally set socio-cognitive conflict. We estimate the differentiating capabilities of this method on the experimental results obtained in different schools of Moscow. It is shown that the average ability of primary school graduates to work in a group is not enough formed, which is supported by a comparative assessment of the successful results of the school oriented on development of children interaction in educational process. We conclude about the necessity of this meta-subject ability formation by specially organized training in the classroom.
