The classroom hour is one of the most common forms of extracurricular work with students, regardless of whether they study in elementary school or in senior management. He has quite a few specific features that characterize him very fully.
Firstly, the classroom has a flexible structure and shape. It can be quizzes, games, discussions, meetings, trainings, conferences and much more. When conducting classes there is no need for very strict adherence to a certain structure. The teacher can make changes and adjustments directly along the way, depending on the characteristics and interests of the children.
Secondly, this form of work with students is such a way of communication between students and teachers, in which the leading role is played by an adult. However, do not forget about the contribution of children to the lesson. In order for the classroom hour to be interesting and fun, having reached a certain educational goal, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance so as to distribute part of the responsibilities among the students.
Children can be divided into sectors, each of which prepares a specific topic at least once a month. The inclusion of schoolchildren in the process activates their mental operations, cognitive interest. Children will learn not only to collect information, but also to present it in such a way as to captivate classmates. This develops leadership skills in students, which will be useful to them later.
Subjects of events may be different. It should be chosen based on the age of the children.
The main criterion - the form of work should correspond to the educational task that the teacher set. Topics can be chosen by the students themselves. This
is especially
true if the event is held at a senior level. After all, an ordinary class hour 10 class is unlikely to be enthusiastic. To interest children, it will be necessary to choose not only the form, but also the content of the event in accordance with the requests of the students.
Among the goals that can be achieved, thanks to this form of work, it should be noted the disclosure of children's creative abilities, team building , education of the emotional sphere and value orientations. Various classroom teachers (psychologist, counselor, etc.) can also be involved in classroom hours. Events are held in the form of meetings with interesting people, for example, writers, artists, etc. If necessary, experts from various departments are also invited (narcologists, inspectors of the Department of Internal Affairs, firefighters, etc.).
One of the most common and interesting forms of classes for younger students is a class hour. Grade 1 is already the beginning of school life. And how active the position will be in children at this time can affect the future lives of students in this institution. Therefore, it is advisable to spend a class hour already in the first year of study. In primary school, it is advisable to choose a game form. The older children become, the more serious topics can be addressed. At these mid-level events, one can already discuss the problems of drug addiction, AIDS, talk about friendship and aggression on the part of some adolescents to their comrades. In such cases, the discussion form of the event is effective so that each of the children can express their opinion.
