The peculiarities of the processes of understanding, perception and thinking in connection with the problem of training pupils in reading and comprehending texts

Abstract

The article considers structure
peculiarities of the processes of perception,
memory and thinking in connection with the
problem of reading and understanding texts.
As at present there is no fixed definition of
reading yet it has been defined in this article
from the point of view of the peculiarities of its
structure. It was shown that reading is impossible
without understanding, perception and
thinking since it includes these processes. Despite
the proximity of these notions, they cannot
act as synonyms. The terms understanding,
thinking and perception depending
on what place they occupy in the structure of
the reading process are analyzed in this article.
It is proved that understanding unlike perception
is the result of the reading process. Reading
cannot take place without perception of the
text and subject matter is not always understood
completely. The process of thinking unlike
understanding is more self-sufficient and
independent process, which is crucial for both
understanding and perception.
