Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine and evaluate the practical impact of the educational concept of generative learning in independent study of the English language with the development of the most appropriate and effective educational system. The following methods were used to achieve the aim of the research: EF SET testing, correlation analysis, statistical and mathematical forecast models. Empirical component of the research and the analytical interpretation of the results indicate a positive effect in the application of generative methods of learning English. It is quantified by an improved dynamics of learning English for students of the experimental group (relative to the indicators of the control group) — 2.915 times. Performance for the final test for the group which learned using typical methods was 3.06%. The relevant indicators for the group that received focal knowledge by generative learning methods were 8.92%. The results of the study indicate the practical impact of the concept of generative learning on the effectiveness of learning English, and the significant potential for other applications. It is advisable to conduct repeated empirical studies in other educational institutions and other educational subjects taking into account the established facts. The results of those studies will be the ground for developing a generalized educational standard, which will be proposed by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine for integration and implementation into approved teaching methods.
