In order for pedagogical activity to be carried out successfully, it is necessary to constantly monitor the activity of the teacher, and sometimes to correct it. After all, teachers also learn, a lot depends on their professional knowledge and skills.
So, the head teacher must clearly understand how to organize a visit, how to analyze the lesson. An experienced specialist, no doubt, knows how to do this. But the "beginner" head teacher in some ways may not have enough experience. This article is a note to such workers.
So there are many types of analysis. But it is worth mentioning only those that are most often used. A brief analysis of the lesson is a general assessment of its compliance with all the goals set - educational, didactic and developing. System analysis is based on the consideration of the system for implementing the main didactic tasks. Full - considers separately tasks, types of educational activities, its contents.
Approximate lesson analysis outline :
- Matching goals and objectives.
- Readiness for the lesson.
- Analysis of the organizational structure - its type, sequence of stages, dosage of the lesson time, the correspondence of the lesson stages to certain types of cognitive activity.
- Characteristics of the content of the material: scientific, correspondence to educational and developing goals, the ratio of practical and theoretical material, its relationship with life.
- Analysis of methodological support (methods and techniques that were used in the lesson and the appropriateness of their application). Methods of conducting individual parts of the lesson.
- Characteristics of the behavior and activities of students, the presence of discipline.
- The manifestation of the business qualities of the teacher, a characteristic of his level of knowledge.
- General analysis of the lesson - conclusions.
The purpose of monitoring the teacher’s activities is to evaluate his pedagogical competence, the ability to control the audience of students, while taking an individual approach, as well as his knowledge of the actual material and teaching methods. A comprehensive analysis of the lesson is very important - in other words, an analysis of all the nuances - forms of organization and conduct, methods, behavior of students, etc. It should be carried out taking into account the specifics of the material. And, of course, the features of the subject. An analysis of a math lesson is a test of how clearly the teacher presented the material, how he secured it, whether the structure of the lesson corresponded to its type. For example, an English lesson has its own forms of activity that are not available at a physical education lesson, so they will be conducted in different ways. The analysis of the informatics lesson, in turn, is also a check of the conformity of its structure and type, a characteristic of the methods and techniques used. There are two aspects - methodological and productive, and, more simply, theoretical and practical. Their unity should ensure the effectiveness of educational activities. Since the learning process is the interaction of the teacher and students, both the work of the teacher and the actions of the students should be evaluated.
Control over the teacher's fulfillment of his duties should be combined with the provision of the necessary methodological assistance to him. In general, the analysis of the lesson is effective if the analyzing person is competent, has knowledge of the methods, has the appropriate training. Before you go to a lesson to a particular teacher, it is worth learning about the results of previous tests. This is important, because it will set the purpose of the visit more clearly. You need to know the topic in advance, the preparation of the examiner must necessarily include the study of the relevant educational material. In other words, he needs to understand what the teacher will explain.
Next, you should first talk with the teacher regarding the preparation of the lesson plan, as well as look into this plan. Such an interview, on the one hand, will give the examiner the necessary information about the preparedness of the teacher, on the other hand, will show the teacher what corrections can be made to this summary.
