Forum “What do I expect from the competition of professional skills. "Miss Russia" told the truth about beauty contests What do you expect from participation in the contest
Tatyana Saenko
This year I took part in the municipal competition "Professional Excellence teaching staff educational institutions ZATO Aleksandrovsk - 2013”. There were 5 nominations: “Teacher of the Year”, “The Coolest Classy”, “Educator of the Year”, “Debut”, “I give my heart to children”.
The competition was held in four stages:
1. Creative self-presentation "Me and children" (7 min)
2. Pedagogical experience (15 min)
3. Lesson
4. Parent meeting (20 min)
Additional activities:
Master class (20 min)
"Round table"
Preparing for such a responsible event, I did not think about the results. It was necessary to adequately present their work. Throughout the period, I told myself, “I'm just spreading my experience. And that's it."
When I came to the general consultation, only then did I realize what a serious matter I would participate in. And to the question “why do you need this competition?” I answered "I don't know".
Excitements and experiences are long gone, but what impressions did the competition leave?
During participation in the competition, the most important thing is confidence, but it always “leaves” somewhere, and excitement, trembling in the legs and in the voice attack. It is difficult to go on stage for the first time when hundreds of eyes are looking at you, the jury is evaluating, colleagues are worried, rivals are watching, and you have to stay on your feet and say the first word into the microphone.
I was very worried about the lesson with an unfamiliar group of children, without preparation. The children showed themselves better side, thank them.
The most difficult events for me were Parent meeting and master class. The topic was given in 1 hour and the "parents" were recruited from those present in the hall, and the master class was held with 11-graders. It was easier for the teachers, but for me, the educator, it was difficult and unusual.
All participants showed their creative professional abilities very well. After each competitive task, I was worried, but did I do everything, showed, said.
At the closing ceremony it was very exciting to go on stage.
I became the winner in the nomination "Teacher of the Year" and I was very pleased to see the joyful faces of the manager and my girls, because they helped me in everything and instilled confidence.
Stages of the competition:
1. Creative presentation (Pedagogical experience. 5 min)
2. Pedagogical activity with children (20 min)
3. Master class (20 min)
4. Round table
It was attended by 18 teachers of preschool educational institutions of the region. The fact that I entered the top three finalists in the nomination "Educator of a preschool educational institution" I consider a good result. I received a certificate of participation and a gift - a printer, and many more kind words from my rivals and their colleagues. We were not given a diploma, which is prescribed in the regulations on the competition (Why? I don’t know).
Summing up my impressions, I would like to say that participation in past competitions definitely did not become useless for me.
If you compare yourself with what I was and what I have become, then there are significant changes. Thanks to this competition, I became self-confident.
I would like to say a huge thank you for your trust, support and assistance in preparing for the competition. Without a good, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive support team, none of this would have been possible. Thank you, Dear colleagues and dear girls!
And in conclusion, I would like to say, if you are offered to participate in professional skills competitions - participate! This is a good opportunity to test yourself, who you are and what you are capable of. You will see and feel who is working next to you (believe me, the competition shows this well). And, of course, this is a big plus for certification! Good luck!
About the contest
Ekaterina, why did you decide to participate in the You Are Unique contest?
It happened quite by accident. I received an invitation from one of the organizers and decided that it was worth trying myself in this area. I am always for new experience, new emotions. I do not like to stand still and I think that you need to constantly develop and learn something new.
Tell us about the stages of the competition, was it difficult?
The competition consisted of several stages: defile in evening dresses, defile in swimsuits, intellectual competition, creative number. I think that I coped with all stages with dignity. I want to thank all the teachers who worked with us, they are really professionals in their field. The wonderful choreographer Yulia Gubaidulina staged four dance numbers for us, and each of them is unique, just like ourselves. We had a rock production, and when we rehearsed in the studio, I thought we had the most energetic and best dance. But at the dress rehearsal, just before the final, I saw the rest of the numbers. The girls gave their all, and I realized that I could not choose best number they are all very different and beautiful. I also want to thank Anastasia Tovkach, catwalk teacher modeling agency“Exclusive”: we spent the most time with her, honed our gait and at the end of the day we just fell down from fatigue.
Thanks to these classes, now I can not just walk the catwalk, but even run in heels. Summing up, I want to say that we got really the best teachers who invested a part of themselves in us.
What did you expect from participation in the competition?
First of all, new emotions. Everything I expected, I received in full.
What was the relationship like between the members? How did you feel about competitors?
Throughout the project "You are Unique" we all helped each other. I always thought that competition and rivalry reign at such competitions, and you can forget about help altogether. And I am very glad that I was wrong and everything was not so with us. Or maybe we just got lucky with the participants.
About victory
Ekaterina, what did you feel when the representatives of the Ya Buy portal announced the winner?
I don't remember exactly at that moment, to be honest. But throughout the competition there was only pleasant excitement. I didn't know until the very end that I had won. And I realized this when, half an hour before the final, the phone began to burst with congratulations.
Has your life changed since you took part in the competition and won the vote?
After the competition, I plunged headlong into work, so I didn’t notice any cardinal changes.
Will you continue to participate in such contests?
Many invitations have already been received from the organizers of a competition of this level, but so far I have refused. Still, I'm more for sports. But, perhaps, they will offer me something really interesting, then, of course, I will not resist!
About personal
What are your favorite activities?
Perhaps dancing and traveling.
Where are you looking for inspiration?
Behind Last year My main inspiration was the classes at the Global dance studio with the best coach - Yulia Titova.
Ekaterina, what movie would you like to compare your life with?
"The Incredible Life of Walter Mitty".
What are your plans for the future?
Reach new heights in sports, in pole dance.
What can you wish to the readers of the portal "I Buy"?
Believe in yourself, set goals and achieve them, and, of course, dream and make your dreams come true!

Essay "My Pedagogy".
If you go to the children without a heart, the lesson will not take place. You need to open your heart. And ... to inspire someone who needs it. Encourage faith in him. Such a pedagogy is possible, it is real and it does not depend on circumstances.
Sh. A. Amonashvili
In my childhood, my grandmother dreamed of me becoming a "teacher", for whom the image of an intelligent, educated woman was associated with a worthy and secure future.
For many current teachers, the history of their passion for the profession began with their favorite teacher at school. But I was afraid of school. Having, by the will of fate, found myself in the class of children of high-ranking city officials, I, the daughter of a lonely draftswoman, felt like an outcast ...
My ideal was the teacher of mathematics Rusanova Nina Fedorovna. Talented, intelligent, strict, fair, she conquered her students with the power of her knowledge. It was this teacher who found the way to my heart, made me believe in myself, carried away the subject, taught me patience and the ability to forgive.
It became easy for me to study and, having graduated from school with a good certificate, I chose mathematics as my specialty. I didn't plan to be a teacher. But for the compulsory teaching practice, I again came to my beloved teacher and then I was already fascinated by the school.
Since then, 25 years have passed. My grandmother, whose dream was destined to come true, and my beloved teacher, whose simple truths of humane pedagogy have become for me a golden key to the hearts of my students, have long been gone from this world.
To educate a person who is mathematically educated, moreover, by humane methods - this is the ideal that I strive for as a teacher of mathematics.
AT educational process objectively there is a contradiction between the collective forms of education and individual character acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities. This contradiction became the starting point for the search for "my pedagogy" -pedagogy to search for effective ways of a differentiated approach to each student in order to make learning creative, corresponding to the characteristics of the personality of each child.
Mathematics occupies a special place in the system of sciences. The logical rigor and harmony of reasoning specific to mathematics is designed to educate students in a general culture of thinking, significantly expand their horizons, and raise their general cultural level.
Teaching mathematics is a creative process, it brings joy from communicating with students, makes you believe that each of them is an individual, unique personality.
Over the course of many years of work at the school, I became convinced that there are no incompetent students, but there are students who have lost interest in mathematics as a science. And the very first step in overcoming this problem is the kind attitude of the teacher towards the student. It is important to give each child the opportunity to prove himself, to let him feel his success, albeit small, but noticed and approved in time.
The teacher must believe that all children are capable and successful. Only then can he achieve his goal. And if there is no result, then the reason must be sought, first of all, in the teacher, in his unsuccessful methods.
V. A. Sukhomlinsky, who was the first of the teachers to explain the low results of education not by the natural mediocrity of children, but by primitive, artisanal teaching methods, wrote: “This is a terrible danger - idleness at a desk ... This destroys morally, cripples a person ... All our plans, searches and constructions turn into dust if the student does not have the desire to learn.
It is important that in the creative process of teaching mathematics, and hence the education of the student, such conditions are created when the teacher and the student would be together in a joint search for knowledge, when there is no place for humiliation and suppression of the child's personality.
And in order to make a student think, create, create, a creative approach to each lesson is necessary. And today, the words of K. D. Ushinsky have not lost their relevance: “The talent of a teacher, as a master, is revealed when, at each lesson, he manages to captivate a child into the world of the unknown, to interest him so much that he himself wants to learn new things, to solve the problem set before him problem."
I am a happy teacher. Because every day, going to work, I know that wonderful colleagues are waiting for me outside the school door, who will support and help, my students are waiting - my comrades and my teachers, my Faith, Hope and Love.

The beauty of pedagogical skill.
(impressions of the competition "Teacher of the Year - 2014" in the city of Nizhny Novgorod)
Having learned in November from the school management that the teaching staff in which I now work nominated my candidacy for the competition of pedagogical skills "Teacher of the Year-2014", I, of course, was pleasantly surprised and worried - What to show? What to talk about? How not to let down the school, which has already become famous in the region, as the "forge" of the winners of the regional stage of this competition in 2011, in 2013 .. And I began to prepare ......
Having successfully passed the municipal stage of the competition and having won in the Nizhny Novgorod region, I became a participant in the city stage of the competition "Teacher of the Year -2014"
The competition began in February with the preparation and submission of presentation materials, which reflected my teaching career, the vision of the meaning of the teacher's work in the essay "My Pedagogy", the summary of the lesson on the subject and the generalization of pedagogical experience already defended at the municipal level.
In addition, the expert commission assessed the content of popular methodological developments and the level of interactive communication from the personal site, the presence of which was mandatory for the participants of the competition.
In the middle of March, on the basis of MBOU secondary school No. 22 of the Nizhny Novgorod district of the city, the participants of the competition gave open lessons.
It was not easy even for me, a teacher with 26 years of experience, to conduct a 30-minute training session in another school, on "foreign" children, in the presence of a professional competent jury.
A detailed self-analysis of the lesson, a detailed analysis of the conducted training session by a friendly but principled jury demanded that the teacher know the basics of pedagogy and modern educational technologies, the ability to justify his choice of pedagogical techniques and methods.
I confess that this stage of the competition was the most important for me - only here I could show what kind of teacher I am, how and what I can teach. Here I was "in my element", only here I could hear the opinion of experts in methodology and subject professionals on the correctness of the chosen method of presenting educational material.
Any teacher knows that the success of any, and especially open, lesson, largely depends on the class with which you work.
To the credit of school No. 22, where competitive lessons were held, their students were at their best. Brought up, knowledgeable, self-confident, friendly-minded, already at the beginning of the lesson they instilled in me the confidence that the lesson would work out. And after my words “Thank you for the lesson, children!” their applause in response, as they say, "struck on the spot" not only me, but also the members of the jury.
And on behalf of all the participants of the competition, I would like to say a big thank you to the administration of school No. 22 in the city of Nizhny Novgorod for the thoughtful, carefully organized preparation and conduct of the two stages of the competition "Teacher of the Year 2014", and especially to the director of the school Prokhozhy Alexei Kuzmich and the head educational part Ponomareva Elena Igorevna.
The third stage of this exciting competition in pedagogical skills was a round table discussion between the participants of the competition and the best representatives of the pedagogical community of the city on the topic “My contribution to the development and preservation of the cultural heritage of the city of Nizhny Novgorod”, timed to coincide with the Year of Culture announced by the President in 2014 in Russia.
Eight best teachers of the city districts spoke about their work on the preservation and development of historical and cultural values of the Nizhny Novgorod region and those pedagogical discoveries in this direction that make the work of a teacher effective and attractive.
How interesting! Local history tourism in the historical places of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the preservation of the Volga as a symbol of Russia, the education of tolerance as the main quality of a cultured person, and the preservation of the ecological environment of our historic city, circle work at the school on the history of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin and teaching children the basics of folk crafts ....
The pedagogical discoveries of my colleagues simply evoked admiration for their professional talent.
I told about what kind of work on the preservation of cultural heritage I carry out in mathematics lessons, in extracurricular activities in the subject and, of course, in educational work.
On April 1, the final of this anniversary (for the 10th time) competition of the best teachers of the city was held at the Constellation Center for the Development of Creativity for Children and Youth. Now we had to perform a “master class” of our pedagogical skills.
And they, the luminaries of our profession, know all its subtleties, which means that they will evaluate both the competence of the teacher in knowledge of the subject, and the ability to convey educational material to the audience, and so that they do not get bored, and the quality of the presentation accompanying the story of the contestant will be evaluated very principled and strict.
And this magnificent journey into the world of school sciences began.
In admiration, I watched how my beautiful “rivals” gave wonderful lessons from the stage, forcing the whole audience to either remember the definition of a teacher according to Confucius, or to follow with interest the chemical experiments that were carried out right in front of numerous spectators.
There were no indifferent people in the hall either to the lesson about the Nizhny Novgorod nesting doll, or to the story about the lessons of technical creativity, and the master classes on computer phobias, on preserving the ecology of the planet and the laws of historical events received a deservedly high appraisal from the jury and prolonged applause in the hall.
My master class was called "Poetry in the lessons of mathematics." Of course, any public speaking is an excitement, but as soon as I started reading poems that I like to include in math lessons, as illustrations for dry mathematical concepts and formulas, I forgot that in the competition ...
Poems flowed, music sounded, and I got real pleasure from communicating with the audience, who together with me sang Yesenin's romance, translated into the language of numbers, memorized the rhyming Pythagorean theorem and thought about the meaning of life, sounded in a poem about a sinusoid.
.... The lights of the hall ramp went out, all the words of congratulations addressed to the speakers of the teachers resounded. Participants of the competition went home, each a winner in her nomination. And I am still impressed by this firework of the beauty of pedagogical work and I am starting to prepare for the regional competition, for which I was nominated as the winner of the city stage, and I dream of seeing even more vivid examples of passion for the profession to which I gave my whole life.
Forum "What I expect from the competition of professional skills"
Today there are many advocates and opponents of professional competitions in education. Some scold them for their resemblance to the show, others for the formalism of the procedure for competitive events.
We note the positive aspects of these events.
Firstly, the competition creates a favorable motivational environment for the professional development of teachers, the dissemination of innovative experience, and contributes to professional self-determination young professionals.
Secondly, honoring the best unites the professional community, gives rise to a sense of belonging and pride in the profession.
Thirdly, a methodically competently conducted professional competition in some cases replaces managers educational organizations a lot others administrative methods work with the team, incl. annual attestations, having advantages over them as a much more democratic mechanism for evaluating and remunerating a teacher's work.
The desire to participate in a professional competition is expressed, first of all, by teachers, who are not afraid of the situation of rivalry, but, on the contrary, stimulate. Of course, these are people striving for success. Success is for them as real professional achievements, confirmed by winning the competition, and the rewards that they expect to receive by becoming the winner: status in the team, bonus, category, etc.
Thus, the significance and importance of participation in professional competitions are determined.
AT professional competition not only the mastery of the lesson is evaluated, but the system of the teacher's work. And you need to present the whole system holistically: starting with planning and notes training sessions, including author's programs and scientific reports, independently prepared didactic materials and scenarios for students - in a word, all developments that give a fairly complete picture of the level of his professionalism, of his individual laboratory.
Participation in pedagogical skill competitions is a labor-intensive creative process that requires a huge expenditure of effort and energy, when a teacher analyzes his activities as a teacher on a large scale, brings his educational and personal experience into the system, draws up mountains of documentation. He does everything to enter this special world of communication, competition, success and discoveries.
What do the participants of the competition of pedagogical skill "The best teacher of the year" expect? What needs to be done to make competitions really effective tool professional development of teachers? What is your opinion, dear teachers?
Reflection of the competition
1. What did you expect from participation in the competition and what did you get? Analyze your preliminary goals and actual results achieved.
I wanted to show at the competition the distance course "New Information Technologies for Experimenters: Publishing", created in the last academic year, which I successfully conducted to train teachers of educational institutions in Moscow according to the plan of one of the laboratories of MIPKRO. I wanted to exchange views with my colleagues on the issues of interest to me, which I outlined in my business card.
I had no idea that there would be so many tasks to complete within the framework of the competition. It was a complete surprise for me. At first, I was interested in doing a simple task of creating business card. Then, as new, much more difficult assignments arrived, it was interesting for me to test my strength and creative abilities. Then it became interesting for me to communicate with colleagues in a teleconference. In the end, I got so involved in the competition that now, after it is over, I absolutely do not want to finish my work at the competition, although it is extremely difficult to physically participate in it.
With each new assignment, my interest in the competition grew more and more. Knowledge, skills and abilities all increased.
First, I learned how to work with a large amount of mail, put on my computer an excellent mail program The Bat! As I participated in the teleconference, I learned to clearly pose questions, clearly answer the questions of colleagues. It seems to me that I have learned to discuss with colleagues, to defend my point of view. This is an invaluable practical experience.
In the second stage, I wrote an article for the first time. It was very difficult, but also very interesting. In the article, I systematized my concepts in the field of distance education, shared own experience in using the possibilities of distance education. The form itself was new to me. I have publications in the journal "Computer Science and Education", but in them I present methodology conducting classes. I have never written an article before. Of course, this experience was extremely useful for me. I brought concrete examples described her practical experience. I told other participants of the competition about my problems in the field of technology when creating Web pages and ways to solve them, about the methods of conducting remote classes that I know. In addition, for better visibility and greater liveliness, I created a presentation outlining some thoughts on distance education. I also created a joke presentation illustrating my distance learning lessons. These presentations helped me to understand my approaches to distance learning, to realize my role as a distance teacher.
The next stage of the competition was the creation of a personal page. In my previous work, I never created personal pages and believed that such pages were of no interest to anyone except the author himself, his relatives and friends. The 3rd task illustrated to me the fallacy of such an opinion. It turned out that a personal page can be used as a title page to present one's own work and the work of one's colleagues online, to link the pages of like-minded colleagues. This is a good idea.
Task 4 on creating an educational resource was a complete surprise for me. When I received it, I thought that it was so intricate and complicated that I would never be able to complete it in my life. There was a state of shock, which was aggravated by the fact that due to poor work mail server, the letter with the task came to me 4 days later than the day it was sent. But, as I thought about the topic, the content of the educational resource, I came to understand the tasks that were set for me in task 4. In the end, I created a learning resource, fulfilling all the requirements that were imposed on it in the task. Since it was possible to work out everything at the stage of creating the resource, no further "finishing" was required. In the process of completing this task, many results were achieved:
consolidated the skills of creating pages in the html language in the Notepad program, mastered new tags (previously worked mainly with the MS Front Page program);
consolidated skills in working with Adobe PhotoShop;
learned how to create navigation buttons in Button Studio;
learned how to save presentations in html format and edit these pages;
learned how to create and administer forums;
learned how to host a site on a free server (created a mirror of my site);
I learned how to create guest books.
I consider it my indisputable success to post the results of my students' work on my website, in particular, slides from educational products created by students. It is unfortunate that it was not possible to collect the opinions of the participants of the lesson to determine the winning work. Not all the participants of the lesson, due to the huge workload, expressed their opinions.
The forums have been very helpful. As I read the speeches of my colleagues and our leaders, as I read my own speeches, I realized the need for such a wonderful means of communication for distance education as forums. There was a desire to create our own forum, similar to the forum of the Eidos Center, since it is easy and pleasant to work in such a forum, the speeches are published one after the other, there is no need to call up remarks by clicking on the headings of the speeches, as on the forums of the narod server. ru, for example. It was very useful to get acquainted with the speech of colleagues on the issues formulated in the forums. As the speeches progressed, it seems to me that I managed to improve even more in the skill of conducting discussions. Having initiated my question in the forum Technical Issues of Internet Pedagogy, I received an exhaustive answer to it from my colleagues. Previously, no one could help me with this issue. Now the answer I received will help me in practical work to create a video file from a video film shot by my students as part of a project.
And, finally, it is difficult to overestimate the experience that I have gained by conducting remote classes, both as a distance teacher and as a local coordinator. For the first time, I participated in such classes, where, along with working on a learning resource, the means of communication between all its participants were also used. For the first time I worked in chat rooms. Remote classes were diverse both in subjects and topics, as well as in the methods used to conduct them.
I would also like to note the completely unexpected results of the competition for me: I met my like-minded people, many of whom are wonderful people, talented teachers. I hope that our acquaintance will later develop into friendly relations, which will allow us to create many necessary educational resources for the benefit of all our distance students, for the benefit of all network users.
2. What was the most unexpected thing for you in the competition? What events (actions, opinions, etc.) caused the most vivid sensations?
Much was unexpected in the competition. First, I would like to note the correspondence in the teleconference. Secondly, the final lessons were certainly unexpected. Of course, my own lesson made the most vivid impression on me. Until now, I have never conducted lessons for a large network audience, with local coordinators, using on-line tools. Here I would like to note the support rendered to me by the leaders of the group Andrianova Galina Alexandrovna and Sotskov Andrey Vladimirovich, who sent me a letter during the lesson with the words of his approval. I would also like to note the warm words said at the forum about my occupation by the head of another group, Guryanov Sergey Egorovich, I quote: "I am carefully watching what is happening from the side :-))) You have a wonderful resource. Your tasks for search engines are very interesting ... I was carried away by reading materials from site". What could be more valuable than these words for a distance teacher!
Other sessions, where I acted as a local coordinator, also caused vivid sensations. Of course, there were also mistakes in the actions of distance teachers. But only those who do nothing do not make mistakes! And these mistakes served as a good school for all those present at the remote lesson.
Thirdly, vivid sensations caused discussions of lessons in chats. I was especially impressed by the discussion of M.B. Lvovsky's lesson, where I was the local coordinator. The position of Igor Viktorovich Krivchenko, who tried to identify the negative aspects of the lesson of his own colleague, remained incomprehensible to me. It seems to me that I managed to convincingly prove him wrong. In general, such after-school discussions seem to me to be a very important link in improving distance education. But the tone of the discussion itself is very important. The tone should be friendly. We are building new system education, there is no experience of such construction yet. Therefore, distance teachers need to be supported. Of course, reasonable constructive criticism will not hurt, but will only help our common cause. But it must be expressed in a form that does not degrade the distance teacher, but supports his noble, ascetic mission.
Fourth, the discussion of the issues raised in the four forums of the competition. From the speeches of colleagues, I managed to learn a lot of important, interesting and useful things both for my teaching activities and for practical activities in the field of information technology.
Fifth, the low place of my personal page in the ranking of the pages of the contest participants turned out to be unexpected for me. The reason for the low place is still unclear to me. In the assignment for the development of a personal page, it was written, and I quote: "It is desirable to coordinate the design of the pages with the main site of the competition," which I did. As a result, in the rating of personal pages, higher places than me were won by those participants who not only did not fulfill this requirement, but whose page design does not meet the basic requirements for web design style.
3. Reproduce the dynamics of your feelings and sensations for the entire time of participation in the competition.
At first it was curious to complete the first tasks of the competition, to test myself. Then came the feeling of self-confidence. As the tasks were completed, a sense of pride in improving knowledge, skills and abilities grew. There was also a growing feeling of gratitude to our competition, its organizers, for the useful knowledge, skills and abilities that I acquired during the competition. And, finally, I have a feeling of deep gratitude to the organizers of the competition, who allowed me to meet and make friends with absolutely wonderful people, real creative personalities, who are a role model in many ways.
4. How do you see your own growth as a teacher? What kind professional quality managed to identify or develop during the competitive work? Whereby?
I see my own growth as a teacher in the knowledge of new pedagogical technologies that can be used for distance teaching: forums, chats, guest books. And also in improving the conduct of discussions, both in teleconferences and in chats. It was possible to develop the skill of conducting a remote lesson in real time, both as a remote teacher and as a local coordinator. I learned from the lessons taught by my colleagues, having learned from their positive experience, taking into account their mistakes and miscalculations.
I believe that the creative, developing tasks of the competition, formulated by its organizers, also played a large positive role in increasing my experience. In general, as a result of work at the competition, personal neoformations took place, the significance of which I have yet to realize in my subsequent practical activities.
5. What did you most succeed in the competition, what tasks or their elements were completed most successfully? What methods of remote work did you use? Name the most effective of them.
I believe that I succeeded in everything that I did in the competition. All tasks were completed successfully. The learning resource I created seems to be especially successful. Here are a lot of elements I used for the first time:
used a combination of studying two subjects - MHC and information technology;
different kinds activities of distance learners;
the use of search engines to perform specific theoretical tasks by students;
tests for self-control, which allowed students to immediately check the knowledge gained in the lesson;
for the first time in a distance lesson, my students created an educational product.
I tried to teach them to work within the framework of project activities.
And, finally, I succeeded in the most important thing: to arouse the interest of students in the world artistic culture, to make you think about the constant improvement of your spiritual world, about the need to get to know and study the best examples of the spiritual heritage of past years and centuries.
It seems to me that the most effective way is to use forums in a remote lesson and then discuss the problems raised in the lesson in a chat. Also, I think that correspondence with local coordinators by e-mail seems to be the most effective, and communication via ICQ is even better. It is important that the means of telecommunications used do not interfere with the main thing - work with the material of the lesson, do not distract distance students from the main work in the lesson, but help it.
6. List in descending order the main problems and difficulties that you experienced during the competition. In what ways did you overcome them or are you planning to overcome them?
The main problem is not enough time to work at the competition. It would be nice to be completely freed from the main work, from household duties for the time of such competitions. Then, I am sure, the results of participation in the competition would be much higher (I am not talking about my place, but about personal results, acquired knowledge, skills and abilities). The difficulty was in creating a forum, in placing a mirror of your resource on the free narod server. In overcoming these difficulties, my friends helped me, to whom I always turn in difficult times, who carefully followed my work at the competition, always helped with a kind word and supported me.
In the future, as before, I consider it necessary to constantly study, constantly improve the technological methods of my work, study the latest application programs. Invaluable help in the work, in improving my teaching skills and business skills should also be provided by communication and joint work with my colleagues in the competition, the leaders of the final groups, with the specialists of the Eidos Center.
7. You have become familiar with the work of other teachers. Which and whose judgments and arguments seemed to you the most informative and original? With whom and with what do you disagree and why? What and whose remote classes, positions, techniques did you like the most and why?
Most of all, I liked the judgments and arguments of Lvovsky Mark Beniaminovich and Lagunova Tatyana Vladimirovna, expressed by them in letters to the teleconference. The experience of Andrei Igorevich Falkov in working with students seemed very interesting to me. I consider it interesting to exchange views on the Internet lessons expressed in response to my letter in the letters of Sirotinina I.V. (November 1), Shutilov F.V. (November 5), Martynova O.I. (November 8), Gomulina N.N. (November 14). I consider the proposal of Lvovsky M.B. to be interesting and useful. about creating a catalog of existing educational resources.
It is not very convenient to evaluate your own actions. But still I want to note that I made interesting proposals for further joint work on projects. This proposal was supported by some colleagues: Gomulina N.N., Lvovsky M.B., Shutilov F.V., Shelepaeva A.Kh. I do not agree with the letters to the teleconference Skosyreva N.N. and Fedotov V.P. The questions they discuss (about grades and grades, about spelling and pronunciation of foreign words) seem to me insignificant for distance education. I categorically disagree with the methods used when discussing lessons in chats by an ordinary participant in the competition Igor Viktorovich Krivchenko. He took on the functions of a judge, more inherent in the members of the jury of the competition. In his speeches, he expressed his own opinions in the full consciousness of his infallibility and rightness. At the same time, his own achievements, as a distance teacher, remained incomprehensible. I was most impressed by Mark Beniaminovich Lvovsky's lesson on "Ideal gas. Basic equation of molecular-kinetic theory". Distance teacher Lvovsky M.B. instructions were developed for both the LC and the students, so this lesson did not cause any difficulties for them. At first, the students worked with a very small theoretical part, then they started solving problems. They had to solve 8 problems by checking the answers received with the answers presented on the resource pages, called up on the screen by clicking on the corresponding button. The tasks presented on the resource pages are arranged in order of increasing complexity. At first, students solved problems quickly, then as they became more complex, the speed of solving decreased. But, since each task had a hint called up on the screen by clicking on the corresponding button, this helped the students. The results of the work in the lesson were recorded on the board, where a table was created, in which information was constantly entered for each student about solving problems. Thus, I, as a local coordinator, had the opportunity to constantly report to the DU about the work of students (these records were regularly made by me in guestbook). As the lesson progressed, the students asked questions to Lvovsky M.B. on the forum page and received answers to their questions from it. I want to note the excellent design of the educational resource of Lvovsky M.B. It is well structured, the distance teacher is an excellent methodologist. The drawings are very well chosen, many of them are animated. The animation is made in such a way that it fully reflects the physical processes occurring in gases, liquids, solids. The theoretical material is presented clearly, the formulations are precise and understandable. I think that this work can be successfully used not only for conducting lessons in physics, but also for preparing for compulsory control work for graduation and entrance exams.
The lesson developed by Chmir Olga Bogdanovna on the topic “The Caucasus rang with a mysterious fog…” also seemed interesting to me. During the lesson, the students got acquainted with the material on the biography and work of M.Yu. teacher. At the end of the lesson, the students in my group wrote creative work, and one of the students composed good poems. In fairness, it must be said that a mistake was made in this lesson: in the first minutes of the lesson, chat was offered. In this case, I consider this to be wrong, since the students were distracted from studying the material in the lesson by an insignificant conversation in the chat.
8. What features (kinds, types) of conducted distance learning and distance education in general were revealed? What educational tasks, in your opinion, can be solved most effectively with the help of distance learning and telecommunication technologies?
The use of Internet resources and technologies in a full-time lesson (at various types of full-time lessons - workshops, excursions, etc.), while the teacher and his students are in the same class, and the resources are removed from them;
The distance teacher is removed from the group of in-person students;
The remote teacher and each student are remote from each other;
Teachers are distant from each other and conduct remote activities (methodological, advanced training courses).
A methodologist or administrator organizes the activities of teachers of their school using the school website, Internet resources; for example, holds an open teacher's council or a seminar with the involvement of remote specialists.
Among the types of distance learning I have listed, today I see two main types of such activities. The first is a teacher-student distance learning. Most likely, this type of training will continue to be used in the vast majority of cases.
The second type of classes is advisable to use when a remote teacher is engaged immediately with a group of students, he is assisted by a local coordinator. Such classes will be used in two cases: firstly, when they are taught by a teacher who has a unique teaching methodology, unique experience, which has no analogue in this remote school. Then classes can be held both for remote students and for teachers - in order to improve their skills. And, secondly, when the lesson is conducted by a subject teacher, who, in principle, is absent in a remote school.
Further, it seems to me that they have equal right the existence of remote classes with different forms of their organization. These can be lectures with subsequent consolidation of the studied material by solving problems. These can be classes using other resources and features of the Network: search necessary information according to the assignments compiled by the teacher, excursions to various institutions (including cultural institutions - museums, exhibitions, and so on). These could be conversations, cool watch, seminars involving remote communication on-line with a discussion of the problems posed in the classroom, in forums and chats.
In my opinion, with the help of distance learning and telecommunication technologies, it is most effective to solve a wide variety of educational problems. Distance education can be used especially effectively in classes in those subjects where there is currently no good educational base for full-time classes. I mean, for example, MHC. There are many materials online that educators can use in these classes. Students can visit famous museums of the world, art galleries, get acquainted with the work of outstanding artists, sculptors, architects. And at the same time, it would be wonderful to create a cycle of classes on this subject, and subsequently, the entire course.
It is necessary to take into account the poor design study guide currently used to teach this subject in Russian schools. There are no illustrations in this manual, but only texts. Undoubtedly, conducting these classes remotely would contribute to the formation of a high level of culture of Russian schoolchildren. It seems interesting and effective to have a conference session using a forum or chat for the work of several groups of students, led by teachers, when creating joint projects on a wide variety of topics. However, I don't have that experience yet.
9. What are the factors and conditions for obtaining optimal results of a distance lesson?
It seems to me that distance learning is most effective when:
Students are interested in the topic and content of the lesson;
The style of presentation of the material is clear and pleasant;
The lesson uses not only a specially created educational resource, but also other features of the Web, search engines are used to complete the tasks of the lesson;
There is an alternation of various types of students' activities during the lesson (studying the theory, searching for the necessary information, viewing galleries of photo and film images, working with sound, various types of testing students' knowledge are used);
Students in the class create an educational product using all the information, illustrations, etc. available on the Web;
There is communication with a distance teacher and fellow students in a forum or chat;
The teacher, working in the chat, creates a friendly atmosphere, helps students, strengthens their self-confidence, encourages creativity, etc.
I also consider it very important to carefully prepare the lesson material, develop detailed instructions for local coordinators, as well as for distance learners - without fail; thorough preparation for the lesson of both the remote teacher and local coordinators.
What are the limits of applicability of distance learning? This question is not easy to answer. It seems that at high level preparation of such classes, the boundaries of their applicability can be expanded quite widely. Exceptions can be made for such classes where the direct presence of the teacher is required next to the student: the formation of skills of any practical activity, demonstration of experiments.
I consider it necessary to communicate between the teacher and the remote student, either through Email, either in the forum or in the chat. You can successfully combine all three methods of communication, then the effectiveness of classes will increase several times.
10. What can you say about the goals, content and organization of this competition. Formulate your proposals for the development of this work: for yourself, your colleagues, the organizing committee of the competition.
I believe that the originally formulated goals of the competition have been achieved. I will list them:
Identification and support of talented teachers and methodologists who use telecommunications facilities and the possibilities of the Internet in teaching with schoolchildren and teachers;
Popularization of the latest information technologies, forms and methods of distance learning in the practice of domestic schools, lyceums, gymnasiums, preschool and additional education institutions, advanced training institutes;
Formation of proposals for scientific research in the field of distance education.
At the same time, I want to note that the degree of achievement of the first goal, where support talented teachers and methodologists, may be discovered a little later, at the end of the competition and after the announcement of its results.
But even now it is beyond doubt for me that the competition turned out to be a good school of pedagogical experience (including for conducting remote classes), not only for the participants, but also for the organizers, for all colleagues involved in the competition in one way or another. In my opinion, it was possible to identify weak and strengths distance education, criteria for its success, limits of applicability.
The competition was very informative, and very diverse tasks were solved: from the participation of contestants in correspondence within the framework of a teleconference and public speaking on the forum, before conducting open remote lessons with their subsequent analytical analysis in chats.
The tasks offered to the participants were always unexpected, difficult, but at the same time conducive creative development, improving pedagogical skills, business qualifications, increasing the level of knowledge of modern information technology. The assignments allowed them to gain invaluable experience in conducting discussions, participating in telecommunication work with their colleagues and students by means of on-line.
Suggestions to colleagues: All participants in distance learning must understand the close relationship and interdependence during their implementation. The success (or failure) of our common cause depends on the clarity and coherence of our actions!
To successfully conduct a distance lesson, not only a distance teacher, but a local coordinator should be well prepared for it. The success of the lesson depends to a very large extent on the thoroughness of the preparation of the local coordinator.
I would like to apply the experience gained in my daily work with schoolchildren and teachers who study with me in advanced training courses. I would like to work on creating an educational resource together with my colleagues in the competition. With proposals for such work, I have repeatedly acted before. Perhaps the work of coordinating such activities could be undertaken by the staff of the Eidos Center. However, a certain difficulty, probably, is the financing of such work. But it seems wrong to me not to save for later joint work the team that was formed at our competition. Probably, the finalists and prize-winners of last year's competition "Distance Teacher of the Year" 1999 could be involved in this work. And I suggest that the organizing committee of the competition think about this. We must try to use the knowledge and experience that we acquired in the difficult conditions of this difficult marathon, which turned out to be our competition.
