Abstract
Modern primary school students, entering school and mastering a new type of educational activity for them, face certain requirements that were not previously presented to them. The aim of the research is to study the representations of younger schoolchildren about self-regulation and their ability to carry it out in the conditions of a modeling experiment. Research methods: surveys (questionnaire "Style of self–regulation of children's behavior (2) - SSPD-M2" (V.I. Morosanova)) and the method "Psychomotorography" (M.A. Kremen, V.E. Morozov). The research involved 187 primary school students. As a result of the survey, it was found that younger schoolchildren assess their ability to self-regulate at a high level. When performing tasks of the modeling experiment, the survey results were not confirmed. In the presence of a hint in the process of completing tasks, participants show an acceptable (57.2%) and a good (42.8%) level of self-regulation, however, in the absence of a hint, self-regulation in the majority of younger schoolchildren is expressed at an acceptable (89.8%) level, the smallest number of participants have a good (10.2%) level of self-regulation. In the process of solving the problem of the first stage (if there is a hint) of the methodology, students organize their behavior and activities better than in the second stage (if there is no hint). It is worth noting that the older the respondents, the better they cope with the task if there is a hint, but not absence. We believe that the students who took part in the study have not yet replaced external control with internal self-control. Thus, the results of an empirical study confirm the relevance of the study of self-regulation in primary school students, including as one of the factors of mastering educational activity and its regulation, and can be used by primary school teachers, psychologists, researchers.
