The basic approaches to the organization of educational process in accordance with the requirements of the State standard of primary education have been revealed.

Four levels of the formation of schoolchildren's search abilities have been defined: the initial level (1,03,5 points); reproductive level (3.6 – 6.5 points); constructive level (6,6 – 8,5 points); creative level (8.6 – 12.0 points).
