DIAGNOSTICS OF COMMUNICATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES AMONG STUDENTS OF EARLY SCHOOL AGE WITH MILD INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES

Statement of the problem. In terms of the concept of development of education for students with disabilities for the period of 2020-2030 and according to the Federal State Educational Standard for students with intellectual disabilities, the harmonious development of both academic educational results and life competence necessary for a student with special educational needs in various social situations is declared one of the main strategic directions for the development of children of early school age. The Basic Learning Action Program (BLAP), as a structural element of the Federal Standard, does not contradict the indicated idea and aims not only at the formation and development of mentally retarded students, but also at ensuring the conditions for their socialization, including their life competence development. The analysis of educational theory and practice made it possible to distinguish a contradiction between the development of the basic provisions of active and differentiated approaches and the insufficient theoretical development of the criteria and levels of formation of communicative learning activities (CLA) of students of early school age with mild mental retardation in order to form the phenomenon under research. The problem solved in the article is the search for theoretical grounds for revealing the essence, structure of CLA of students of early school age with a mild degree of intellectual disabilities in order to develop the diagnostics of the phenomenon under research. The purpose of the article is to disclose the essence, structure of CLA of students of early school age with mild intellectual disabilities; to identify and characterize formation levels of the investigated phenomenon in order to develop diagnostics of CLA formation in the context of the research subject. Methodology (materials and methods) is based on the active and differentiated approaches to education of students with intellectual disabilities; analysis of official documents, scientific psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of development of basic learning activities in students with intellectual disabilities. Research results. Based on the analysis of scientific works of Russian and foreign researchers and the regulatory and legal framework, the essence and structure of CLA of students of early school age with mild intellectual disabilities was revealed; minimum evaluation and diagnostic map of formation of the investigated phenomenon has been developed; variable communicative situations in which CLA of students of early school age with mild intellectual disabilities are manifested and formed are identified. Conclusion. The developed diagnosis of CLA of students of primary school age with intellectual disabilities will allow tracking their dynamics and making timely adjustments in the organization and implementation of their formation at the level of primary general education and with appropriate modification actions at subsequent educational levels.
