In practice, many modern schools and other educational institutions very often feature the thesis that they actively use new pedagogical technologies, thanks to which you or your child will achieve brilliant success in mastering interesting skills and knowledge. Such statements are more popular today than ever before. They have turned for their creators into a quality criterion and a sufficient promise of an advertising sign.
Innovative pedagogical technologies are not only a computerization process
However, such formulations are often misinterpreted, reducing such methods at school only to the use of modern technical innovations. Of course, in our century, various testing programs and computer presentations are extremely useful and important. However, it is important to consider that innovative pedagogical technologies are, first of all, a certain complex of copyright programs that contain techniques aimed at the most effective development of students' mental and practical skills. As the simplest example of such techniques, one can cite a variety of game educational elements in the preparation of preschool children and primary school children. Such educational pedagogical technologies are based on the idea that the fascination of the process will contribute to better memorization, as well as instill in the kids a desire for classes. As another example: on the numerous advertising posters of various language schools you will surely find the slogan that it is their methodology
help you learn the language as simply as possible thanks to modeling everyday situations, constant conversational practice, and so on.
History of educational ideas
By the way, such innovative pedagogical technologies are not a novelty of the last 10-15 years, as our compatriots often think. They exist from the time of the first educational ideas and attempts to systematize the accumulated experience. For example, many Soviet historian educators expressed their disagreement with the conventional wisdom that history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood and supposedly does not make sense to talk about failed events. On the contrary, they argued that in the process of schooling such a prem would be extremely useful, since it would make students think abstractly. And, even more importantly, I would put teachers on equal terms with the schoolchildren - the first one would also not know the exact answers to the questions posed (for example, what would happen to Russia if it were not for the October Revolution) and would not initially be aimed at the only
correct prepared answers. Such a state of affairs would stimulate the development of logic and critical thinking more than simply memorizing written theses on causes, premises, consequences, and so on. Similar techniques in the modern learning process have become known as "problematic".
Application of educational ideas
However, it is important at the same time to understand that innovative pedagogical technologies are not at all something that should be carried over to the masses without fail, completely replacing traditional education. Their point orientation should be taken into account - with local implementation and under the direct supervision of their developer, they will give brilliant success, but with mass reproduction they often lose their own effectiveness.
