The article deals with the learning and teaching potential of structural modeling as the basis and fundamental principle of organizing learning activities of students. Modeling integrative relationships (MIR) in the process of learning school disciplines is an academic activity which basically involves such studying of socio-humanitarian disciplines wherein students create their own model of academic subject matter in all its entity through discovering and consolidating relationships which constitute its basic structure and perform the integrative (system-forming) function. In the process of structural modeling students master basic techniques of analyzing academic material which develops not only students’ competency in a given discipline but also general learning skills leading to greater learning independence. In the framework of teaching based on students’ modeling of the subject of study the author has developed and theoretically substantiated the following teaching aids: a subject structure model, assignment system, criteria-assessment set.
