An event such as psychological and pedagogical diagnostics is mandatory in all educational institutions. It can be carried out both openly and “secretly”, which in turn gives somewhat different results. Such a study was first of all designed to make the process of raising and educating children in kindergartens and schools easier and more accessible. Therefore, with its pros and cons, as well as with other features, we will deal with this article.
Psychological and pedagogical diagnostics is a practical experiment, with the help of which the personality characteristics of an individual student are studied, as well as the general social characteristics of the entire educational team. Such a process is cumulative in nature, because the composition of the group is constantly changing, its members acquire new qualities, which requires timely recording of new data. Most often, in schools and pre-school educational institutions, regular or invited psychologists deal with such issues.
Psychological and pedagogical diagnostics determines the level of abilities and knowledge of each member of the team, as well as the tendency to develop, improve or lack such qualities. After studying each student, the psychologist compares all the data. As a result, the overall qualities of the class are evaluated. It also happens that some individuals are too “distinguished” by their talents compared to children with a standard form of development or vice versa. In such cases, parents are often offered to transfer their child to another class. As you can see, psychological and pedagogical diagnosis is necessary to optimize the educational process. In its course, a training program and a manner in which all information will be presented to a particular team are selected.
It is also important to highlight the methods of psychological and pedagogical diagnostics, which are most often used in all educational institutions. The main one is observation. By accumulating knowledge and new data about each subject and his interaction with the team, his personal qualities are evaluated. Obviously, this technique can be considered anonymous. The opposite of it is a questionnaire. Over the long years of its existence, psychological and pedagogical practice has already managed to collect a sufficient number of questions that allow each student to be most accurately revealed. And the final method in this area is the conversation that the psychologist conducts with each child separately or immediately with the whole team. During the conversation, you can draw many conclusions based on the facial expressions and gestures of the student, but there is no guarantee that his reaction will be true.
In order to conduct such an event, it is important to have certain knowledge, which is most easily obtained from books. The most popular of them is an encyclopedia written by the author with the surname Zabramnaya. Psychological and pedagogical diagnostics is a complex, but very interesting process, and it so happened that only those people who are given this by nature can deal with it. And only they can say with accuracy what will be better and what is worse for a particular student and for the team.
