“3k-Transfer” Development Methodology For Forming The Educational And Social Activity Of Primary School Students With Intellectual Disabilities
Keywords:
Intellectual disabilities, primary school students, educational and social activityAbstract
The article presents the “3K-Transfer” developmental methodology aimed at developing educational and social activity among primary school students with intellectual disabilities. The methodology integrates cognitive learning, communication, and collaboration within a single educational and practical action, followed by the transfer of acquired skills from familiar situations to modified, new, and natural social contexts. The article outlines the purpose, objectives, key mechanisms, and functional modules of the methodology, focusing on developing students’ independent decision-making, expression of needs, interaction with peers, and practical application of acquired skills. Particular attention is given to the differentiation of pedagogical support through the gradual reduction of prompts and transition toward independent action. The proposed approach is designed to transform acquired knowledge into functional social behavior and expand children’s independence in everyday situations.
