141 Table 3. How to learn comparison techniques in several stages? Stages Fourth stage - use apply the method of comparison in classroom and homework The third stage - apply understand the essence of the technique and the rules for its implementation The second stage - motivate create a pedagogical situation of students' interest in mastering rational methods of mental work The first stage - determine show the ability to use the technique of comparison At school, the most important stage is the third , which can take place in the form of a conversation (in grades 5-9) or instruction (in grades 10-12). It is under the wise guidance of the teacher who manages the educational process that a rule-guideline is introduced on how to use this technique. 1. Establish the purpose of the comparison. 2. Check if we know the material about the objects that we will compare. 3. We highlight the main features by which we will compare. 4. We find distinctive or similar features of the object. 5. We conclude from their comparison. And the last, fifth, we form the ability to generalize . The definition of thinking as a generalized indirect reflection of reality or reality indicates the leading role of generalization in human cognitive activity. In philosophy, it is considered one of the ways of cognition , which is reflected in the transition to a higher level of abstraction, the identification of common features of phenomena or processes.
