certain requirements for results, structure and conditions of development
basic educational program for primary school students, taking into account
their age and individual characteristics. Educational activities –
the process of human self-change, the result of which is
the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by him. In the concept of the Federal State Educational Standard of the new
generation emphasizes the idea that students “must learn
independently set goals and determine ways to achieve them, use
experience gained in school in real life, outside the classroom
process".
To form the foundations of the ability to learn and the ability to organize one’s own
activity - the ability to accept, maintain goals and follow them in educational
activities, plan your activities, monitor and evaluate them,
help us interact with the teacher and peers in the educational process
universal educational approaches – universal educational activities (ULA).
UUD is a set of methods of action for a student that ensures his/her
ability to independently assimilate new knowledge, including organization
this process. The main pedagogical task at this stage is the creation and
organization of conditions that initiate student actions.
In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, the training program presents 4 types of educational management:
personal, regulatory, cognitive, communicative, which,
in fact, they must ensure the key competence of students - the ability

How we do this can be seen in the table:

UUD – project activity.
The project method is a way to effectively build any type of
activities. Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, involve
me - and I will learn - this Chinese proverb accurately characterizes this type
educational activities as educational, research and project activities.
The main feature of educational, research and project activities is
the opportunity to intensify children's educational activities,
giving it
research, creative nature and this activity is connected to a greater extent
degrees with the development of skills and abilities in planning, modeling and solving
practical problems.
While working on a research project, students gain social experience,
get the opportunity to self-develop, broaden their horizons, do things on their own
albeit small, but discoveries, their cognitive sphere expands, increases
interest in knowledge, and thus develop more successfully, and this is what you and I
we are achieving.
The positive result of research and design work is
development of the ability to listen and hear the interlocutor, ability in the correct form
formulate and evaluate cognitive questions, which for children immersed
on the computer, on virtual communication is very, very important. Here they show
independence in learning, initiative in using one’s thinking skills
abilities; try to work creatively in collaboration with other people;
courageously and firmly defend your beliefs; critically evaluate and understand
own strengths and weaknesses; be responsible for your actions and their
consequences.

The design and research process goes through several stages. In educational
activity uses a project task, which is of a group nature.
The work is carried out in several stages.
Stage 1. Setting goals and objectives (motivational). Progress of the stage:
1. Creating student motivation for activity. Translation of a problem into a task.
2. Determining the intent of the design task. We help you formulate your goals and
project problem.
distribution of responsibilities.
set goals and objectives.
3. Planning activities to achieve the set goal with
Organizing students' search for the optimal way to achieve
4. Observation and control.
5. Student consultation.
While working on the project, students get used to the situation, implement
clarification of goals and objectives, united in groups. They develop an internal
position, adequate motivation for educational activities, including educational and
cognitive motives (personal UUD). Students master all types
educational activities aimed at organizing their work, including
the ability to accept and maintain educational goals and objectives during work,
plan its implementation, monitor and evaluate your actions
(regulatory UUD). Students learn to search for information, master action
modeling
Students acquire skills
organize and carry out proactive cooperation in searching and collecting
information, evaluate and accurately express your thoughts (communicative UUD).
(cognitive UUD).
Stage 2. Completing tasks (activity). Its goals and objectives:
1. Implementation of the concept of the project task (topic, goals, final product).
Maintaining students' educational motivation for activities.
2. Analysis of the obtained result. The teacher provides advice
in creating a “product”. Recording all ideas.
3. Observation and control.
4. The guys receive tasks, distribute roles in groups, work on
solving the problem. Personal UUD develops - formation
motivation of educational activities,
development
cognitive interests, feelings of mutual assistance;
–
formation of all types of educational activities aimed at organizing
their work, the ability to plan activities and act according to plan, to

4. Filling out the evaluation sheet.
Stage 3. Presentation of results (reflective-evaluative). At this stage
Practical assistance from a teacher or parents is provided (if necessary).
Students present the product of their activity (to spectators or experts),
reflection is carried out. Personal UUD develops - self-determination,
actions of a moral and ethical nature; regulatory UUD - students learn
determining the sequence of statements taking into account the final result;

independently sets the goals of his activities. It follows from this that at each
At the research stage, it is necessary to give the student a certain freedom in work, sometimes
even to the detriment of the methodology, otherwise the research may gradually turn into
the usual sequence of standard ones in the reproductive learning system
educational stages.
The guys willingly express a lot of hypotheses and offer different options.
explanations of what was seen. The guys need to be prepared for this kind of search. And will help in
this is the organization of work on a research project, and correctly
the completed project will be the result of research activities.
In the process of working on a project, the student develops a large number of
universal educational actions:
 design: understanding the task, planning the stages of the upcoming
activities, forecasting the consequences of activities.
 cooperative:
interaction with project participants,
rendering
mutual assistance in the group in solving common problems, searching for a compromise solution.
 communicative: the ability to listen and understand others, enter into dialogue,
ask questions, participate in discussions, express yourself.
 experimental: organization of the workplace, selection of necessary
equipment, selection and preparation of materials, carrying out the actual
experiment, monitoring the progress of the experiment, measuring parameters,
understanding the results obtained.
 reflexive: understanding one’s own activities (its progress and
intermediate results), self-assessment.
 presentational: constructing an oral report about the work done, choosing
various means of visualization when speaking, monologue speech skills,
answers to unplanned questions.
How to work on a research project? The topic is chosen long before
registration and protection. It should be interesting to the student and relevant to
the area in which he lives. “The child must be taught to realize the goal,
which he must achieve from the first days of his stay at school.” (N.F. Talyzina).
It is the question that interests the student that can become the starting point in
research or project development. Progress:
 Finding a solution to the problem
 Selection of materials, tools (the choice of materials is made by each
the student independently, and control over compliance with safety regulations (if
it is necessary) is led by one person appointed by the guys).
 Preparation of the project (at this stage the main thing is the formation
cohesion between the guys, their ability to listen to each other, development
mutual assistance and mutual assistance).
 Defense, justification of the project (thought out already in the process of implementation
work and is carried out at the request of students). During the presentation of the result
project, the guys can use the scheme.
 Protection and justification of the project is thought out during the implementation process
work and is carried out at the request of students.
In elementary grades, information research is often used
projects that involve independent search for the necessary information
(in encyclopedias, library catalogs, on the Internet), in this case
Students learn to structure information and highlight the main thing. Search often

The children find the missing information together with their parents, which is also important in
educational purposes.
Research and project activities have their pros and cons,
The main thing here is not to overdo it, abandoning other types of cognitive
activities, for example, observing teacher demonstrations, independent
working with a textbook, watching educational films, conversation, etc. The teacher must
strive to ensure that, based on the conditions, guidelines,
factual material, observation results, students could
independently describe objects or phenomena, including formulating
definitions and construct stories (actions of the 1st level of complexity); explain
objects and phenomena, including formulating laws, properties (actions of the 2nd
difficulty level); formulate principles, rules and apply them in practice
(actions of the 3rd difficulty level). Action skills of the first level of difficulty
are developed by students quite quickly with regular repetition
required actions. But when developing such skills, it is not enough just
get students to remember the sequence of actions when describing
object or phenomenon or mechanism for collecting information - must be taught
students to make full use of this information in various
situations.
The second level of complexity requires students not only to have extensive knowledge
on the subject, but also the ability to compare facts and draw conclusions based on these facts
patterns, highlight cause-and-effect relationships. At the same time, it develops
observation, logical thinking, ability to independently pose
questions and find answers to them. And most importantly, a system of actions aimed at
the development of such skills develops the student’s interest in the subject, in science,
makes you feel like a researcher who can answer on your own
to the questions “Where?” and why?"
The third level of skills and abilities is not available to all children. To
It is not enough to achieve this way of thinking from students;
even the most professional activities of a teacher are also necessary
significant abilities, serious personal interest of the student and
passion for a subject that goes beyond ordinary curiosity. But
it is necessary to strive for this and it is possible to achieve this - one must realize this
every teacher. The main result of children’s education and development should be
strengthening in every child faith in himself, in his abilities to learn and
transform the world.

Children unite based on their interests both in and outside of school. Educational work aimed at solving the problems of socialization of a child in the conditions of a children's association, while maintaining the relationship with other factors of personality formation, in its goals, content, structure, differs in many respects from them and constitutes a special education. Social relationships are dynamic. This is especially evident during the period of intensive communication between children in temporary associations. The process of socialization is carried out more effectively in those of them whose members are united by common activities to change and improve the world around them and the lives of both adolescents themselves and other people. This activity should be based on the principles of self-government and self-organization, respect and protection of children's rights.

The goal of any association can be considered in two aspects: on the one hand, as a goal that children set for themselves, on the other hand, as a purely educational goal that adults participating in the work of children's associations set for themselves.

Speaking about the first aspect, it should be noted that the voluntary association of children is possible only when they see in it the prospect of an interesting life, the opportunity to satisfy their needs. It is important that the association increases the social significance of their activities and makes them more “adult”. This aspect, which does not contradict the “children’s” goal, involves creating conditions in the organization under which the socialization of the child’s personality is more successful, resulting in the desire and readiness of children to perform social functions in society.

A children's association is an important factor influencing the child, influencing in two ways: on the one hand, it creates conditions for meeting the needs, interests, and goals of the child, contributing to their mutual enrichment and the formation of new aspirations; on the other hand, there is a selection of the internal capabilities of the individual through self-restraint and collective choice, adjustments with social norms, values, and social programs.

The children's association also performs protective functions, defending and protecting the interests, rights, dignity, and uniqueness of the child.

The process of socialization in a children's association is effective when there is a commonality of interests and joint activities of children and adults. At the same time, children should retain the right to choose the forms of life of the association, freely move from one group, one micro-collective to others, and the opportunity to create associations to implement their own programs.

We consider the main purpose of the activities of the school children's organization to be to assist the younger generation of young Russians in understanding and improving the surrounding reality, in the formation of their civic position.

This formulation combines three most important components of civic education: knowledge of the surrounding World, its transformation (improvement) and the formation of the civic position of young residents of Russia.

Their linkage to the mission of a children's organization is justified and has a purely dialectical meaning.

It is impossible to improve the World without its knowledge, in the process of which a true citizen and patriot (and the organization aims to promote the formation of precisely such individuals, “who love the Motherland, respect all peoples living on the planet”) cannot ignore the problems and troubles of people, their country , all of Humanity, nature. The creative social practice itself stimulates his desire for further discovery of the World and self-improvement. And this, in turn, forms true patriotism, true citizenship, not verbal, but active, i.e. based on activity, restlessness, interest in people, in making life better.

Thus, we see that “pedagogical triangle” with vertices - education, socialization, personal self-development, which B.Z. Vulfov connects it with the content of the process of “formation of human sociality.”

The goals and objectives of our school public organization are determined on the basis of the main purpose (mission) of the school and the purpose of the educational activities of the school.

The main goal of the educational activities of Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 7 No. 7 of the city of Surgut is the formation of a socially competent personality of a young man, characterized by a general culture and moral orientation in behavior, conscious professional self-determination based on sustainable cognitive motivation and developed cognitive abilities; and also capable of active positive self-realization in the interests of his own personality, the interests of society and the state.

It must be emphasized that this goal is realized in a holistic educational process, part of which is the educational process as the sphere of value and moral development of the individual and the sphere of implementation of such types of activities as social, labor, artistic and aesthetic, communication. Therefore, we define the target of the educational process as a subgoal of the school’s educational activities.

The goal of the educational process of Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 7 is to educate the personality of a young man who has a common culture and moral orientation of behavior, capable of active positive self-realization in the interests of his personality, the interests of society and the state.

Therefore, the main principles of constructing the educational process are: the principle of humanistic orientation, the principle of environmental conformity, the principle of cultural conformity, the principle of social effectiveness, the principle of concentration of education.

Based on the above, the purpose of the school children's organization defined - the formation of social qualities of the personality of schoolchildren based on their study of the history of the school, city, region, country; participation of children and adolescents in the work of school self-government bodies and collective socially significant activities.

Today, the most proven games in pedagogical practice are long-term games, the plot of which is as close as possible to life or age-related characteristics of the perception of reality. At our school, we chose a game called “City of Happiness” as the basis for the life of our school children’s organization. In this regard, it seemed appropriate to us to form and develop the activities of same-age and different-age specialized associations, both children and adults, the content of whose activities corresponds to the main directions of the educational process and the life of the school as a whole:

  • CITY HALL as the main self-government body of the school;
  • QUARTERS and STREETS of the city (school classroom groups);
  • Department of Education (OU educational process);
  • Department of Culture and Sports;
  • Social associations (temporary children's groups);
  • Institute of Curators (permanent team of teachers);
  • Health Committee;
  • University of Further Education (pre-school system for teachers, students and their parents);
  • Museum of City History (school museum);
  • Institute of Public Relations (permanent and temporary groups of children and adults, collaborating with other educational institutions and public organizations of the city, etc.);
  • Public catering association;
  • Communal service (school business associations).

Conditions for admission to the organization: desire, dedication.

Number of organization members: 708 (56 adults).

Availability of fundamental documents:

  • Regulations on the School of Children's Education "City of Happiness";
  • Articles of association;
  • Shdo program.

The main directions of social activities of the ShDO:

  1. Health-improving and preventive
  2. Artistic and aesthetic
  3. Sports
  4. Military-patriotic (Zhukovsky movement, club “Salang”)
  5. Ecological
  6. Chief's

Forms of work: competitions, contests, shows, rallies, festivals, games, collective creative activities.

The motto of the School of Children's Education is: “Away with anxiety and bad weather! Our school is the “city of Happiness.”

ShDO has its own attributes: anthem, coat of arms, flag of the children's organization, three challenge flags, challenge pennants, ties (blue, yellow, green).

ShDO has its own laws and customs, in the discussion of which all “residents of the city of Happiness” took part; its own printed organ – the newspaper “City of Happiness”.

City Quarters are large children's groups that unite students of the same level of education. The STREETS of any city allow you to move around it, get acquainted with and visit different city associations, and participate in your favorite city events. Class groups of school students restore order and beauty in their streets, attract the attention of residents and guests of the city with their activities, and take part in citywide affairs. The children's group chooses its own name. And in the course of its development, it tries to prove the correspondence of this name to the affairs of the residents of this street. For example, now in the “City of Happiness” there are three blocks and more than thirty streets:

  • Green Quarter – Primary school students live here, and the color of the ties of the junior school children’s school group also matches the color of this block. In this quarter we can find the following streets: Igrovaya, Veselchakov, Sportivnaya, Solnechnaya, Entuziastov, Dreamers, etc.;
  • Yellow Quarter – Secondary school students study here; the color of this quarter also corresponds to the color of the ties of the secondary school group. In this quarter we can find the following streets: Mathematical, Historical, Biological, Yunosti, Detectives of Fives, Sorvantsov, Zvezdnaya, Sibirskaya, Znatokov, Parkovaya, etc.;
  • Blue Quarter – This is a quarter for high school students, the color of this quarter also corresponds to the color of the ties of the senior group of children's school. In this quarter we can find the following streets: Lucky, Museum, Curious, Island of Happiness, Mira, Prom, Turistic, Universitetskaya, Molodezhnaya, Tsvetochnaya, Enthusiasts, etc.

Department of Education - this is how the entire educational process can be designated in the “City of Happiness”. And since the department is the management of the educational process, here we will highlight several departments: the department of primary general education, the department of basic general education, the department of secondary general education. The specifics of the work of these departments are determined by the school curriculum.

The Department of Culture and Sports organizes and conducts all school cultural and sports events. There are two departments here: the department of culture and the department of physical education and sports.

Social associations are temporary children's groups that unite schoolchildren of different classes and different ages. These associations can be defined as interest clubs; their activities are of a clearly public nature and are related to the general objectives of the school. The names of these associations reflect the content of their activities: “Drummer”, “Symbolics”, “Burn”, “Song”, “Tourism”, “Junkor”, “Game”. For the children of each group of the children's organization (junior, middle and senior), their level (stage) of participation in these associations is expected, a kind of mastery of the program of this specialty. The program of children's temporary groups of children's preschool education consists of three stages: stage 1 – “Educational Education” (grades 1-4), stage 2 – “Expert” (grades 5-8), stage 3 – “Master” (grades 9-11).

The Health Committee is represented by the cooperation of the committee with the medical-psychological-pedagogical service of the school. Medical workers, social educators and school psychologists are of great importance in this activity. With their help, members of the ShDO carry out health and preventive activities in the work of the organization.

The University of Further Education is, first of all, represented by the scientific society of students with its subject areas - scientific “faculties”. The University today has several “faculties” - areas of research activity of students under the guidance of teachers - subject specialists and teachers of Surgut universities:

  • “Medic” (medicine) for 9th grade;
  • “Young biologist” (natural science) for 3rd grade;
  • “Ethnos” (geography) for 9th grade;
  • “Slovesnik” (Russian language) for 9th grade;
  • “Voices resounding in the era..” (literature) for grades 10-11;
  • “Literature bright pages” (literature) for 7th grade;
  • “Journey to the Origins” (history) for 6th and 11th grades;
  • “Spinoza” (mathematics) for 6th grade, etc.

The military-patriotic club “SALANG” also belongs to the social associations of the “City of Happiness”. Any youth from the senior group of children's school (grades 9-11) can become a member of the club. The club's activities are related to the military-patriotic training of future military personnel under the guidance of adults. In addition, members of “Salang” actively cooperate with television in Surgut, annually participate in regional competitions (School of Survival), and participated in the military sports television game “Polygon”. The Zhukovsky movement is developed at the school. 12 Zhukovsky detachments were created, which included about 300 children. They are engaged in patriotic education of schoolchildren. They also collected a huge amount of material about G.K. Zhukov, about the commanders, heroes of the Great Patriotic War and duly presented it in the school museum.

In the course of the life of the organization, other club associations may be created in other substantive specialties.

The Museum of the History of the City is a museum of our educational institution, where the history of our children's public organization is formed as a separate plan. Every year on the birthday of the ShDO (Day of the “City of Happiness”), gifts from residents of the city streets are received by the museum as exhibits of the museum exhibition.

We represent the Institute of Public Relations as permanent and temporary groups of children and adults, collaborating with other educational institutions and public organizations of the city, etc. Cooperation between children's and teaching staff of the school, including through the secondary school:

  • Universities of the city and region: Tyumen State University (branch in Surgut), Surgut State University - they help not only in the educational preparation of high school students, but also in the activities of the scientific society of students, in organizing their research work.
  • Institutions of additional education: Station for Young Naturalists, Station for Young Technicians, Sports School "Yugoria", Children's Sports School No. 1, swimming pool "Aquarius", Center for Culture and Leisure "Stroitel" - with the help of preschool teachers, clubs and sections are conducted, many collective activities of schools are organized and carried out .
  • The City Veterans Council takes part in organizing the Zhukovsky movement.
  • The yard club helps with general affairs in the neighborhood.

Public catering association (school canteen). Members of the school children's organization “City of Happiness” monitor the cleanliness and order in the dining room.

Communal service (school business associations). Members of the school are actively involved in maintaining and maintaining the cleanliness of classrooms and general school premises, and landscaping the school and its territory.

Undoubtedly, school student self-government is one of the most pressing problems of modern domestic education. Our state shows obvious interest in the development of school student self-government, which is reflected in the current regulatory documents. In particular, among the principles of state policy in the field of education, the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education” contains the principle of the public-state nature of educational institution management. At the same time, state-public management can be understood as a management in which, along with state structures, public management structures - school student management bodies - will also operate.

The creation of student self-government bodies in our school was preceded by a survey among students about whether such bodies were needed at school and what issues they could solve.

The majority of students answered the question in the affirmative (two-thirds of those surveyed).

Schoolchildren from Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 7 also believe that the children themselves can resolve issues such as:

  • organization of leisure and extracurricular activities, issues of study and discipline, assistance to lagging students;
  • protecting the rights of students, expressing the opinions of schoolchildren, participating in conflict resolution, assistance in managing educational institutions;
  • solving everyday and financial problems, replacing teachers on Understudy Days, etc.

School self-government at school No. 7 is a complex system in which the CITY HALL of the “City of Happiness” occupies its specific place.

The activities of student self-government bodies are structured in accordance with the Regulations on self-government bodies of MOU Secondary School No. 7.

The management of the school children's organization and the City Hall of the “City of Happiness” have their own structure.

To become one of the administrators of the City Hall, each member of the ShDO - “resident of the city of Happiness” can go through the school of participation in the life of the organization, stages of growth:

  • Resident of the “City of Happiness”;
  • Honorary resident of the “City of Happiness”;
  • Administrator of the “City of Happiness”;
  • Curator of “City of Happiness”.

The title “Honorary Resident” is awarded to a student who has fulfilled all the requirements set for him in the memo of the residents of the “City of Happiness”, an active participant in all school affairs and who has received gratitude and awards from his team.

The title “Administrator” is awarded to “Honorary Resident of the City of Happiness” among students in grades 8-11.

One of the administrators who wins the election campaign is elected MAYOR of the “City of Happiness”.

CURATORS are elected or appointed adults who wish to participate in the activities of the school and share its goals and objectives. They help in the work of departments. Their activities are determined by the relevant Regulations.

The main role of the modern school

The main role of the modern school

Modern school is Home, in which a Unified educational, educational and information space has been formed, where students, teachers and parents interact, united by common goals and objectives and being equal participants in the educational process.

New school means new teachers open to everything new, understanding child psychology and developmental characteristics schoolchildren who know their subject well. The teacher’s task is to help children find themselves in the future, become independent, creative and self-confident people.

Today the school fulfills those tasks, which at other stages of the development of society were carried out by several social institutions (for example, family, informal children's organizations and associations, etc.). School seems to act as a mechanism (factor, condition, etc., which carries out the initial differentiation of society, forms the social status of a person, helps him adapt to different social conditions. The education system is one of the most important factors in the stability of society, a social regulator of relations between society and school, for, just as the content of education is formed under the influence of society, so society changes under the influence of education.

As is known, the socialization of personality is a contradictory process. On the one hand, it presupposes the adaptation of a person to society, and on the other, isolation (alienation) person from society. In the context of all-encompassing changes currently occurring in our society, the balance between adaptation and isolation (alienation, which presupposes successful socialization) is being disrupted. Fundamental changes in various spheres of life have led to changes in the functions and specific weight of various institutions of socialization, the disappearance of some of them (for example, all-Union children's and youth organizations disappeared) and the emergence of new (such as Boy Scout organizations). Adaptation of the personality of especially a young person in a society of constant change is difficult; a person cannot keep up with the rapid pace of events. The scope of maladjustment is expanding. Young people are forced to focus on separate, albeit important, life prospects; life values ​​change.

The changes taking place in Russia, the processes of formation of civil society and the rule of law, the transition to a market economy, the recognition of human rights and freedoms as the highest value - determine new tasks for the domestic education system.

School, How main and the longest stage of education, becomes the key point in ensuring a new quality of education, on which the further life success of each person and society as a whole depends.

Implementation of state standards, expected transition school education to second generation standards means a rejection of the traditional model of forming a system for assessing the results of mastering general education programs and a transition to competency-based the foundations of this system.

Currently, Russian education must work proactively, prepare people for life in constantly changing conditions, promote the development of human potential, and solve the most significant and pressing social problems. In this regard, it is necessary to talk about a fundamental change in the role and place of educational systems in modern world.

New approaches to formation modern educational models are reflected in legal and regulatory frameworks documents: law "About Education", Concept of long-term socio-economic development of the Russian Federation until 2020, Priority national project "Education".

“Modernization and innovative development, according to the President of the Russian Federation D. A. Medvedev, is the only way that will allow Russia to become a competitive society in the world of the 21st century and provide a decent life for all our citizens.” In the context of solving these strategic problems, the most important personality qualities are initiative, the ability to think creatively and find innovative solutions, the ability to choose a professional path, and the willingness to learn throughout life. All these skills are formed from childhood. Main tasks modern school- revealing the abilities of each student, raising a decent and patriotic person, an individual ready for life in a high-tech, competitive world.

What is New school:

This school, where a creative environment will be created to identify especially gifted children, where the successful socialization of each individual will be ensured.

These are new teachers, open to everything new, who understand child psychology and developmental characteristics. schoolchildren, with new thinking, mobile, constantly working to improve their skills. The teacher’s task is to help children find themselves in the future, become independent, creative and self-confident people.

This is a center for interaction both with parents and the local community, as well as with cultural, healthcare, sports, leisure institutions, and other social organizations.

This means that the appearance schools, both in form and content, must change significantly. This leads to the requirements for modern school.

From knowledge of the learning paradigm to the paradigm of development, self-determination and self-realization of the individual.

From negative motives for avoiding troubles to complex positive motivation for success.

From knowledge, abilities and skills to the formation of personal and subject competencies.

From traditional teaching methods to modern educational technologies.

From the organization school space to create a comfortable motivational educational environment that ensures the activity and success of every child.

From traditional relationships "teacher-student", "teacher-parent" to relations of cooperation and partnership of all subjects of education.

From quality of education to quality of life inside and outside the walls schools.

Today it's hard to imagine school basics Modern school– a high-tech educational complex in which technical teaching aids are combined with new technologies for teaching academic disciplines.

Modern Russian schools, - How is that "factories", USSR times. Only the worker here is a student. In the same way, he gets up early in the morning and goes not because he wants to, but because he has to. Instead of a workplace there is a desk, instead of bosses there are teachers giving orders that must be carried out unquestioningly. One gets the feeling that school is in no hurry to part with the former authoritarian psychology and ethics: students are forbidden to think, and it’s easier for teachers when students just "perform". It’s rare to meet those involved in child development asking for their opinion.

Working with children in additional education after schools, are faced with this problem everywhere. Many people say that modern young people do not know how to express their thoughts, but they are mistaken. Modern children know how to express them, but they are afraid to express it, because in schools don't allow them to do this.

Believe me, they are very surprised when you sincerely ask them "what do you think…", and at the same time you really expect an answer from them and appreciate it, and do not speak against it “no, you’re wrong, or how could you say that”. Modern children love and can express their thoughts, the main thing is not only their "listen", but also "hear". This is also the reason for many disagreements between parents and children, when children cannot say anything to their parents, and they do not "seers" to guess what's in their hearts.

Conclusion: Your child must engage in additional education, which will allow him to develop his talents, creativity, activity, and psychology. Knowledge in school according to the program of Federal State Educational Standards (FSES) Right now it's absolutely not enough.

Modern school Education is not just a passive acquisition of knowledge, it is an active search, research, and comprehension of the material. This is the ability to find, analyze, systematize and, most importantly, competently present the information received.

Modern school – school of trust, tolerance, support for individual development of children, school formation of a healthy safe lifestyle.

School modern school

A modern school should become a place, where students master universal knowledge and skills. To be a full member of society and succeed in a rapidly changing world, today it is not enough to master basic numeracy, reading and writing skills.

Today it's hard to imagine school without a serious material and technical base. Ability to work with computer equipment, use the Internet, basics searching for the necessary information should start here.

Modern school

Today's secondary education is in dire need of talented teachers who can work effectively with student and teaching staff. Teacher in school

School should give the child the skills of active independent action. School classes form an independent personality, capable of making decisions and taking responsibility for them. Without the development of such skills, society will receive people who rely solely on help from the state and other people. the main task modern school the school was aimed at so that a person mechanically assimilates ready-made knowledge. In the old school a student was considered successful if he remembered well the educational information conveyed to him by the teacher. The task modern school is the ability of schoolchildren work with ready-made information, applying knowledge to reality. But the highest aerobatics that one should strive for school

Educational activities in modern school should be aimed at ensuring that studying is not only useful, but also interesting, more time should be devoted to extracurricular activities work: subject clubs, sports sections, creative associations, etc. This will allow students to decide on a professional orientation, broaden their horizons and form a well-rounded personality.

The most important thing is the equipment schools everything necessary for the educational process modern attributes, such as the Internet. Currently, not all Krasnoyarsk educational institutions have access to the World Wide Web, not to mention rural ones. schools. The second issue is the accessibility of education. It is not the parents who should purchase the textbooks. It is the duty of the state to provide a decent and, most importantly, free education to our children.

School plays a huge role in our lives role, which not everyone appreciates and does not fully understand. School and yesterday and today and tomorrow is assigned a very important and responsible role in the formation and education of the younger generation and each individual individually. Precisely personality, because a big baby comes into it, and when it’s finished, it comes out, even if it’s not yet a fully formed personality.

In simple alegorical language school- this is the foundation of a young life, it is a springboard for conquering life’s fateful peaks in in today's difficult world. school sometimes compared to the army. This comparison is not shared by everyone, but as for the guys, it’s fair. After all, the baby begins to work for the first time! For the first time, the guys begin to understand and create their own team, to understand what friendship and the feeling of a friend’s elbow are. The desire to be the first in any activity “sports, KVN, amateur performances” creates character, helps a young person to reveal his talent, his upbringing.

School- this is a huge organism in which everything should be aimed at creating and growing new modern generation. It often happens that students fall in love with their class teacher for many years. This happens when the teacher still has superhuman psychological abilities to teach, lead, and most importantly - love children, regardless of their differences, abilities, and parental capabilities. That's why some teachers are considered second mothers who remain in the memory for many years.

School– the initial step in the educational process and in the formation of personality. Its main task is to give the student that minimum of knowledge and skills that will allow him to start an independent life. Today's world is changing rapidly, so modern school society has increased demands.

1. A modern school should become a place, where students master universal knowledge and skills. To be a full member of society and succeed in a rapidly changing world, today it is not enough to master basic numeracy, reading and writing skills. To continue education, a young person needs to gain broad basic knowledge in those areas that are most in demand in society.

2. Today it’s hard to imagine school without a serious material and technical base. Ability to work with computer equipment, use the Internet, basics searching for the necessary information should start here. Modern school– a high-tech educational complex in which technical teaching aids are combined with new technologies for teaching academic disciplines.

3. No matter how advanced the technical equipment is schools, main Teachers bear the burden of teaching and raising children on their shoulders. Today's secondary education is in dire need of talented teachers who combine professional literacy and deep knowledge of the subject with mastery of psychology and the ability to work effectively with students. Competent teacher in school remains the central figure on whom the quality of education depends.

4. School in modern in her understanding, this is not a place for passive perception of knowledge. It should give the child the skills of active independent action. Classes that are structured in such a way as to develop children's initiative in every possible way form an independent personality capable of making decisions and taking responsibility for them. Without the development of such skills, society will receive a gray mass of thoughtless performers who rely solely on help from the state and other people.

5. One of main tasks of modern school– instill creativity skills in children. Old the school was aimed at so that a person mechanically assimilates ready-made knowledge. The better the student remembered the information, the more successful he was considered. A more effective approach is to teach schoolchildren work correctly with ready-made information, applying knowledge to reality. But the highest aerobatics that one should strive for school, – to give a person the opportunity to independently create something new, original and unique.

6. Study in modern school should be not only useful, but also interesting. Therefore, it is very important that the curriculum is complemented by extracurricular activities. We are talking about subject clubs, sports sections, creative associations schoolchildren. Such forms allow you to develop and consolidate children’s interest in main academic disciplines, help you make a professional choice, broaden your horizons and form a well-rounded personality.

About what school can be considered ideal, there has been heated debate for a long time. Some argue that the most important thing in school- strict discipline, without which it is impossible either to instill in children respect for teachers or to force them to study conscientiously. Other object: they say, school is not army, there is no need to accustom children to strict rules and demand their unconditional compliance. The main thing is a democratic, friendly atmosphere, so that children see teachers as older comrades, mentors, and not supervisors. Where is the truth?

What should it be school? Each of the theories put forward in the dispute is fair in its own way. But we must remember that the main function schools indicated in its very designation - "Educational establishment". That is, first of all, children in should study at school, master those subjects that are included in the educational program. And this requires both discipline (of course, within reasonable limits, without extremes), and good, highly qualified teachers who know how to present their subject not only correctly and clearly, but also interestingly, to instill in children a love for it. The teacher must be an authority for schoolchildren. But this authority must not based on fear, but on the respect of the elder.

To a good day children go to school willingly, knowing that teachers will not only talk about their subjects in an interesting and entertaining way, but will also listen to them, give good advice, and tell them how to solve this or that problem.

Unfortunately, some parents do not pay enough attention to raising their offspring, shifting this responsibility to school. Like, teachers work there, so let them explain to my child what is good and what is bad. Moreover, recently the rights schoolchildren clearly exceeded their responsibilities, and it became problematic for teachers to punish even persistent violators school discipline, because for this you can get a prison sentence.

This, of course, leaves a negative imprint on school reality. However, good teachers are able to find a common language even with "difficult" students, to instill in them that studying is not a burdensome duty, but a useful and necessary task, and that they must follow the rules that are mandatory for everyone.

The teacher must instill in children that they treat each other with respect, compassion, and show mutual assistance. It is no coincidence that graduates of good schools Even many years after receiving certificates, they regularly communicate and get together.

To summarize, you can say: perfect school is an educational institution that gives students good knowledge and contributes to the formation of worthy human qualities in them.

Given the fact that Modern students spend a lot of time at school, then their conditions must be appropriate. In addition to classes, children attend clubs and sections, so they should feel comfortable and at home. All in school should be set up so that children have the opportunity to study and relax. Otherwise, students will often get sick and get stressed. Maybe you will say that such ideal conditions do not exist? This means you need to strive for them. So, what should the ideal be like? school? School– second home Let's start with the classroom. First of all, the classroom should be spacious and bright. The stream of light should fall to the left of the student. The classroom must have an optimal temperature for work. Particular attention should be paid to the temperature in the classroom in winter. The student’s workplace, that is, the desk, should be comfortable and convenient, appropriate for his age. The blackboard in the classroom should be placed at a certain distance from the desks. The chairs on which children sit must be durable.

Modern school already requires equipment with electronic computer technology. Therefore in school Computer classes should be equipped. Administration schools should take care of computer desks that will be comfortable and practical to work with. If the school is equipped with modern computer technology, then the lessons will be interesting and meaningful for students.

Students will be able to better understand and remember the material. Health and development come first.

Conclusion

School the future should organically combine the experience of the past and advanced technologies modernity. Task schools– to reveal the potential of each student, to educate a comprehensively developed personality, ready for life in a high-tech, competitive world. Let's consider the requirements for modern school: Decent material and technical base. Interactive training.

Practical application of knowledge. Identifying and developing student talents. Education must correspond to the rapid development of society. Support for talented children. Self improvement teachers: desire for development, ability to interest schoolchildren, involve them in the educational process. Promotion of healthy lifestyles. Availability of sports and creative clubs. Formation of correct principles of education. External and internal view schools must be neat. Beautifully furnished school area.

When implementing all the tasks, problems arise modern school. To a large extent, they lie in the lack of material and technical support.

Since the 21st century is the century of information technology, for quality education school must have good technical skills base: provision of high-quality computer equipment, multimedia boards and other technological innovations. Modern schools must release from their walls a well-mannered, confident, independent person who is capable of taking responsibility for his actions, who has unconventional thinking and a clear idea of ​​his future. Yesterday's schoolboy must be able to go towards the goal and achieve it.

In the management of educational systems, the concept of “school mission” has emerged. When determining the direction and content of the school’s activities for a certain future, it is now necessary to formulate the school’s mission. School mission this is a strategic goal, the main priority in achieving certain educational results in the school’s activities. For example, educating a citizen, ensuring a high level of academic knowledge, creating conditions for self-development of teachers and students, and growing individuality. Mission is a strategic vision of the final result achievable over a certain period of time. The mission largely determines the school’s relationship with the external environment, since in order to implement it, these relationships must be built in a special way. The mission unites the efforts of school employees and influences the formation of individual elements of the school’s organizational culture and way of life. It is the mission of the school that is decisive in the formation of specific educational goals of the school, the structure of the curriculum, options for organizing the educational process and the choice of educational technologies. The formulated mission of the school makes it possible for the external environment to get an idea of ​​a specific educational institution, and then it acts as a defining element of the school’s image.

School and its structural components

School -a social institution, a public-state system designed to satisfy the educational needs of society, the individual and the state.

Sources of social order for the school: the state, regional ethnic groups, public organizations and public opinion emerging in society, vocational educational institutions, the media, parents.

Main elements of the school:

  • 1. Students and student groups.
  • 2. Personnel: administration, teaching staff (teachers, psychologists, class mentors, social educator, librarians, etc.); auxiliary staff (educational and auxiliary - engineers, secretaries, laboratory assistants; technical - nannies, workers, watchmen, etc.).
  • 3. Software and methodological support: curricula, programs, textbooks, educational and methodological kits, manuals, TSO, computers with software and methodological support.
  • 4. Material base: finance, building, territory, equipment, offices, library, sports facilities, workshops, canteen, doctor's office, assembly hall, cinema hall, etc.

In many secondary schools, the system of additional education for children has been widely developed in recent years.

Additional education for children -a special subsystem of general education that ensures the development of the interests and abilities of the individual, his individual educational path based on the free choice of meaningful, culturally appropriate activities, which are not limited to the framework of educational standards and forms of traditional extracurricular and extracurricular work.

The development of additional education for children in general education institutions involves solving the following tasks:

  • determining the content of additional education, its forms and methods of working with students at different age levels of a general education institution, taking into account the type of institution, the characteristics of its socio-cultural environment;
  • creating conditions for creating a unified educational space;
  • expanding the types of creative activities in the system of additional education for children to most fully satisfy the interests and needs of schoolchildren in associations of various directions;
  • creating conditions for attracting a large number of middle and high school students to classes in the additional education system;
  • addressing the personal problems of schoolchildren, developing their moral qualities, creative and social activity;
  • creating maximum conditions for children to master spiritual and cultural values, instilling respect for the history and culture of their own and other peoples;
  • studying the interests and needs of children in additional education organized within the walls of a general education institution.

Ways to organize additional education in school settings

  • 1. A random set of circles, sections, clubs, the work of which is not always compatible with each other.
  • 2. Additional education is distinguished by the internal organization of each of the existing structures: associations, creative laboratories, “expeditions,” hobby centers, etc. Often, with such an organization, the sphere of additional education becomes an area of ​​open search in the process of updating the content of basic education.
  • 3. Close cooperation of the school with institutions of additional education for children or cultural institutions. Cooperation is carried out on a permanent and complementary basis.

Currently, regardless of the type of school, it can work as a school of functioning and as a school of development

School as a developing system- a school in which the best of what was created before is preserved and its strengthening; the old and unusable are dismantled; the undeservedly forgotten is reborn in new forms; innovations are carried out in all areas of activity.

School as a functioning system- a school operating in the mode of traditional forms, methods and means of organizing the educational process and, as a rule, giving a stable stable result. Innovations are being implemented, but are episodic.

The activities of any kind and type of schools are currently associated with innovation.

Pedagogical innovation(innovation) - a purposeful change that introduces stable elements (innovations) into the educational environment that improve the characteristics of individual parts, components and the educational system itself as a whole. These are changes that, while preserving everything positive in the accumulated experience, rid the school system of identified defects and transfer it, in whole or in part, to a new level, different from the existing one by improving the conditions and results of functioning. Pedagogical innovations are classified:

  • by type of activity -pedagogical(providing the pedagogical process), managerial]
  • according to the nature of the changes made -radical(based on fundamentally new ideas and approaches), combinatorial(a new combination of known elements) and modifying(improving and complementing existing samples and forms);
  • according to the scale of changes made -local(changes of individual sections or components independent from each other), modular(interconnected groups of several local ones), systemic(complete reconstruction of the system as a whole);
  • by scale of use -single And diffuse;
  • by source -external(outside the educational system), internal(developed within the educational system).

Factors for effective school functioning(use of the potential it already has) V. S. Lazarev defines as follows:

  • compliance of the chosen mission of the school with the educational needs of students and the educational interests of other educational systems;
  • the presence of operationally defined goals for the functioning of the school;
  • knowledge of these goals by teachers and students;
  • acceptance by members of the school community of common goals of joint activities;
  • the presence of adequate private goals among members of the community - participants in joint activities - and their compliance with common goals;
  • the presence of conditions that motivate the team to achieve the maximum possible (optimal) results;
  • alignment, completeness and consistency of organizational connections and relationships, their necessity and sufficiency to obtain the best results;
  • compliance of values, norms, rules, traditions, school culture with the accepted goals of joint activities;
  • lack of overload in educational and professional activities;
  • the presence of a set of conditions (hygienic, psychological, household, etc.) to ensure a high degree of satisfaction for participants in the activity;
  • awareness of teachers and students about the results of joint activities (and their evaluation).

Factors of school development effectiveness:

  • awareness by team members of development as an important value;
  • a coherent understanding of current school demands and how they will change in the future;
  • knowledge and agreed vision of the main problems of the school;
  • knowledge about promising innovations, the development of which can increase the efficiency of school functioning;
  • the presence, awareness and acceptance by the team of operationally defined school development goals;
  • compliance of private development goals and development itself with the general goals of school development;
  • mastery of technology for mastering innovations;
  • the presence of conditions that motivate the staff to achieve the highest possible results in school development;
  • completeness, necessity and sufficiency of connections and relationships that ensure the effectiveness of innovation processes;
  • compliance of the existing school culture with the new school philosophy, values ​​and goals of its development;
  • awareness of process participants about development results and their assessment.

School opening hours does not define that if it works in development mode, then it is a good school, but if it functions, it is bad. The quality of a school's work is determined by its results.

For both a functioning and developing school, an essential factor in its effectiveness and recognition in society is school image -the image of the school, created both inside and outside the educational institution. A positive image increases the competitive capabilities of an educational institution.

A positive image is created by the main activities of the institution, as well as targeted information work aimed at target groups of the public. One of these types of work to create a school image is the creation of a school website on the Internet. In addition, this is an attractive external appearance of the school (for example, in one Moscow school, a flag area was made in the courtyard in front of the entrance: flags of the Russian Federation, Moscow and the region; flower slides were decorated, flowerpots with flowers in front of the front door, many trees planted on the site), interior decoration , bright holidays and other school events, to which parents, representatives of sponsors, authorities and the public are invited, advertising booklets and other information material.

On November 12, 2009, President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev delivered his annual Address to the Federal Assembly.

Text of the Address of the President of the Russian Federation (extract)

"<...>A comfortable environment will be created for world-class research and development in Russia. At one time, the French scientist Louis Pasteur very accurately remarked: “Science should be the most sublime embodiment of the Fatherland, for of all nations, the first will always be the one who is ahead of others in the field of thought and mental activity.” Beautiful words.

Our country has always had many talented people who are open to progress and capable of creating new things. It is on them that the innovative world rests, and everything must be done to ensure that such specialists are interested in working in their country. Therefore, it is necessary to create a permanent mechanism for their support, to attract the most authoritative Russian and foreign scientists, as well as entrepreneurs with experience in commercializing prepared developments, to work in Russia. It's not such a simple matter. It is necessary to simplify the rules for recognizing scientific degrees and diplomas of higher education received at leading universities in the world, as well as the rules for hiring the specialists we need from abroad. Visas should be issued to them quickly and for a long period of time. We are interested in them, and not vice versa.

By the way, many people who sent responses to my article both wrote and pointed out that our compatriots - scientists who work abroad, could form a significant part of the expert community and help in organizing an international examination of Russian scientific projects, and creating certain conditions - simply move to our country.

I instruct the Government to ensure the expansion of grant support for developers of new technologies on a competitive basis. Development institutions should search and select promising projects throughout the country, provide financial assistance to innovative enterprises, including small innovative enterprises that are created today according to the well-known law at universities and scientific institutions, while sharing risks with private investors, of course.

The citizens of our country also talk about this. There is one idea, it came from Altai, it is proposed to create business incubators directly on the basis of modern universities. These kinds of ideas have been expressed before. And it is here that graduates will learn to turn technical ideas into profitable business projects. I believe that these kinds of ideas deserve every support.

I would like to emphasize that not only the state, but also our large companies should participate in the formation of a preliminary order for the results of such research. This is their, if you like, social responsibility. At the same time, a significant part of the projects must be carried out through international expertise and carried out in partnership with foreign centers and companies.

The Government should take all necessary organizational and financial decisions to ensure the implementation of these tasks no later than the first quarter of next year. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the structure of government spending for these purposes should take into account the technological development priorities we have chosen to a greater extent.

Finally, it is necessary to complete the development of proposals for the creation of a powerful research and development center in Russia, which would be focused on supporting all priority areas, namely all areas. We are talking about creating a modern technology center, if you like, following the example of Silicon Valley and other similar foreign centers. There will be created conditions that will be attractive for the work of leading scientists, engineers, designers, programmers, managers and financiers. And create new technologies that are competitive on the world market.

The end result of our joint actions will be a qualitative change not only in the standard of living of the citizens of our country. We ourselves must change. It is necessary to overcome the widespread idea that all existing problems should be solved by the state or someone else, but not each of us in our own place. Personal success, encouragement of initiative, improving the quality of public debate, intolerance of corruption must become part of our national culture, namely part of the national culture.

To achieve these goals, you need to start from the very beginning - with the education of a new personality already at school. As the famous economist Vasily Leontiev once rightly noted: “Education satisfies one of the most important human needs and represents a social investment leading to increased material production in the future. It improves the standard of living of our current generation and at the same time helps to increase the income of future generations.” .

In last year’s Address, I voiced an idea and was given instructions to prepare the “Our New School” initiative. Today I will name the main provisions of this initiative; it has been prepared.

The main task of a modern school is to reveal the abilities of each student, to educate an individual ready for life in a high-tech, competitive world. During the discussion of the article, I received a lot of feedback about school education, a lot is written about it, because it is connected with each of us. Their meaning is that school education should promote personal growth so that graduates can independently set and achieve serious goals and be able to respond to different life situations.

What is the essence of the initiative and what should we do in the very near future? Already in 2010, and this year, let me remind you, has been declared the Year of the Teacher, we will, firstly, develop and introduce new requirements for the quality of education, and accordingly, we will expand the list of documents characterizing the success of each student. The Unified State Exam should remain the main, but not the only way to test the quality of education.

In addition, we will introduce monitoring and comprehensive assessment of a student’s academic achievements, competence and abilities. Special attention should be paid to high school students. Their training programs will be directly related to their choice of specialty.

Second. The school will become a center of creativity and information, rich intellectual and sports life. Through an architectural competition, new projects for the construction and reconstruction of school buildings will be selected. It's high time to do this. They will begin to be used everywhere in 2011. The task is to design a so-called “smart” building, that is, a modern one, which provides technologies for education, health promotion, and providing schoolchildren with normal, high-quality nutrition and hot meals. All schools will no longer have access to regular Internet, but to broadband Internet.

Already next year, a new standard for physical education will be introduced - at least three hours a week, and always taking into account the individual characteristics of children. In general, everything needs to be done taking into account the individual characteristics of children and modern scientific knowledge about the child.

A special task is to create a barrier-free school environment for children with disabilities. In 2010, a five-year state program “Accessible Environment” will be adopted, aimed at solving these problems.

The third thing we must do is to expand the independence of schools, both in determining individual educational programs and in spending financial resources. Starting next year, schools that have won competitions in the national Education project and schools that have been transformed into autonomous institutions will gain independence, and the mandatory reporting of such schools will be sharply reduced in exchange for, of course, openness of information about the results of their work. Contracts will be concluded with the directors of such schools, providing for special contractual working conditions, taking into account the quality of work.

Fourth. We will legislate equality between public and private educational institutions and provide families with greater opportunities to choose a school, and students with access to lessons from the best teachers using distance and additional education technologies. This is especially important for small schools, for remote schools, and for the Russian provinces in general.

The fifth thing that needs to be done is that the teacher education system will also undergo serious modernization. Mandatory retraining and advanced training courses will be introduced at the best Russian universities and schools. Funds for advanced training should be provided with a choice of educational programs, and pedagogical universities should be gradually transformed into either large basic centers for teacher training or faculties of classical universities. We will begin to attract to work in schools those who are able to provide higher-quality specialized education for high school students, including, by the way, qualified specialists who do not have a pedagogical education. Those who decide to work at the school will be able to take short-term specialized courses. At the same time, a special system of incentives and requirements for mandatory confirmation of the level of qualifications of teachers will be introduced.

I hope that this initiative (“Our New School”) will become not just another departmental project, of which we have many, but a matter for our entire society. We all really need this.

The school, along with the family, is a basic social institution that shapes personality, introduces new generations to the values ​​of domestic and world culture, and makes a person civilized.<...>"
