A lesson in a modern school often resembles a certain action, stage performance, and a teacher is like either a magician with a magic wand or a conductor skillfully managing his orchestra - class.
Highlights of the teaching methodology
Teaching methods used by the teacher in the lesson depend primarily on those tasks and goals that are set in each particular lesson in particular and when passing certain topics in general. Their choice is influenced, in addition, by the age contingent of students, their degree of preparedness, and many other factors. Thus, research forms and methods of work are most often used in high school, and game forms in primary and secondary.
At the same time, there are such teaching methods that are considered universal. Take verbal drawing. It is equally effective for both the Russian language and literature, and can be successfully used from first grade to last. This is not only about special lessons in the development of speech, but also everyday. To characterize the hero of the work, explain the conflict or the role of the landscape, retell the plot, analyze the author’s point of view - the student encounters all this in almost every lesson in literature. And teaching methods associated with verbal drawing help to concentrate, identify causal relationships, develop the logic of thinking, the ability to speak, accurately formulate and express your thoughts. In the lessons of the Russian language, these same techniques also contribute to the formation of a culture of speech, the competent construction of sentences.
To develop them, the teacher can ask exercises where you need to insert words that are appropriate in meaning, combine parts of sentences, arrange paragraphs in a semantic order, model the indicated speech situation , etc. Such teaching methods are aimed at developing students' communicative competence, full mastery of all the riches native language. The given example is one of many, because the pedagogical piggy bank of each teacher is replete with a variety of innovative and traditional approaches to the educational process.
Modern technologies in education
The educational process does not stand still. It is a mobile, flexible system, the components of which change depending on the needs of society. In this regard, new teaching methods are regularly included in the traditional structure of the lesson, creating effective types of learning activities.
For example, integrated lessons are very interesting. You can connect literature with Russian or a foreign language, history, music, painting (drawing), geography. As a result, you will be able to conduct a lesson-trip, a lesson-study , etc. In classes of this kind, and this applies more to the junior and middle levels, the game learning techniques will be optimal. They are good in lessons of a competitive type: KVN, “What? Where? When? ”, Linguistic tournaments and fights, literary interviews and reports. Such classes can be conducted in all parts of the educational chain.
A mandatory element of the modern lesson is the use of technical equipment. Various kinds of computer presentations, diagrams, schedules, virtual travels, etc., made by the teacher with the involvement of schoolchildren, give the learning process great information and emotional richness, cognition, interest. Lessons using new technologies awaken a student who wants to know more and learn to acquire this knowledge on their own.
Thus, one of the main tasks of school education is realized: to educate not only a competent, but also an active, searching, creative person.
