The authors of the article had the aim of testing the impact of using Internet resources on the process of activating the cognitive activity of schoolchildren. Having studied the identification of the concept of cognitive activity in the scientific and pedagogical environment, the authors identified three components of the development of cognitive activity of students: motivational, value-based, and activity-based. The choice of Internet resources as an activator of cognitive activity of schoolchildren is due to the fact that, at the current stage of development of Russian education, they are one of the most effective sources of increasing the efficiency of the educational process due to the peculiarities of their use. Firstly, to integrate Internet resources into the educational process, there is no need for specific expensive equipment: one only needs any device with Internet access, which is widespread. Secondly, there are many informational and educational sites that allow one not only to study the subject, but also to check the degree of mastery of the knowledge gained, thanks to the availability of control and measuring materials. Thirdly, the use of Internet resources allows to effectively implement project activities, during which the motivation for the subject increases, the cognitive activity of students develops. As part of the experimental study conducted at the Specialized Educational and Scientific Center "IT Lyceum" of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, the Program for the Development of Cognitive Activity of Students in Chemistry Lessons was implemented, based on the use of Internet resources. The aim of the program is to provide organizational and methodological conditions for the development of cognitive activity of students in chemistry lessons by means of Internet resources. The objectives of the program are: to determine the characteristics of the conditions for the formation of cognitive activity of students; to describe possible tasks for the development of cognitive activity using Internet resources in chemistry lessons; to diagnose the development of cognitive activity in students. During the experiment, methods for diagnosing the development of cognitive activity in students were used. To diagnose cognitive activity, the method of the domestic author E.V. Nenakhov was used. The content of this method is as follows: students are asked to answer test questions. The test includes fifteen questions adapted for the subject of chemistry, reflecting the cognitive interest of respondents. To diagnose the motivation for learning activities, the method of I.S. Dombrovskaya was used. The test, which is an assessment tool within the framework of this method, includes fifteen questions. The test questions are aimed at assessing the degree of regularity of a number of actions characterizing the motivation of students for independent cognitive activity. The results obtained confirmed that, based on the integration of the traditional approach to learning and Internet resources, a steady increase in the level of cognitive activity of schoolchildren was noted.
