EFFECTIVE METHODS TO INCREASE PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' ATTENTION TO THE LESSON

Аннотация

This article examines effective methods for increasing primary school students’ attention during lessons from the perspective of contemporary pedagogy and evidence-based classroom practice. In the context of primary education, attention is understood not as a purely clinical or psychological category, but as sustained on-task engagement, readiness to respond, active participation, and the ability to maintain cognitive focus on learning tasks. The paper argues that attention in the classroom is not secured by one technique alone, but by a coherent instructional system that combines clear routines, well-structured explanations, active questioning, metacognitive support, careful management of cognitive load, and short movement breaks.
