A person-oriented approach to teaching will help to create a new method of education in a modern school

The question of what the school curriculum should be and on whom it should be oriented - on "strong" students or on the "weak" - occupies a central place in Russia for at least the last half century. All this time the school general education programs are mainly made with an emphasis on the student with average abilities.

This approach to learning is fraught with the fact that children more capable in this or that field of science are bored in the classroom and their development is noticeably slowed down. On the other hand, children who have lower abilities do not have time. Naturally, all this affects the child's mental state, on his self-esteem and mental balance.

Thus, a long time ago the idea arose that there should be a person-oriented approach to teaching in the school. What kind of approach is this that will help to find answers to the most difficult pedagogical questions? In a few words, one can put it this way: personal-oriented learning is a way of organizing the school learning process in such a way that the primary goal is to grow, first of all, the personality, and only then does the installation work directly on the criterion of education.

To enable this process, based on recognition of the individuality of each student, taking into account its specific characteristics and identity, it is necessary to reorganize the collectives themselves-classes. Well, think for yourself: how can one teacher work with the number of students in 30 people, actively implementing a personal-oriented approach to teaching in the educational and upbringing process?

How to manage with such a density class to pay attention to each person, give individual assignments, and even have time to check them? Of course, an experienced teacher will be able to organize the learning process in such a way that each student gets a feasible task in order to master the skills and skills progressed step-by-step, and new knowledge clung like the rings of a chain for already acquired and fixed.

Naturally, in order to translate this situation into reality, the educator must have with him a document reflecting the personal results of each child's learning.

In some schools, attempts were made to divide the children into classes according to their abilities, first in such trial variants as sitting the children in different rows: strong, medium and weak. This method created more convenience for the teacher when working with the team, it was easier to organize a person-oriented approach in teaching, since in this case the whole collective was divided into three smaller groups - into groups. Assignments were prepared for each series separately, the evaluation system also worked more closely to the individual level of development of a trainee.

After all, if all the children "row under the same comb," then some talented humanists will remain in the second year in the subjects of exact sciences. And future great mathematicians will not be able to move to the next class because of weak knowledge in Russian.

However, the children very quickly "figured out" the system of such an organization, regarding it as "hanging labels". Parents along with their offspring were extremely outraged by this innovation, because he also demeaned the dignity of individuals. The division of students into classes according to their abilities was also met with hostility by the parents. For some reason, it is not considered degrading for a person to openly declare physical defects of a person, for example, about poor eyesight or heart disease. But talking about low abilities and learning to some kind of science is perceived as a real insult. Although this is also the physiological characteristics of the individual.

Ideal would be the option if children were deeply studying only those subjects that would be useful to them in later life, and the rest for them would be secondary, would not be evaluated, and for them only "the course would be listened". After all, each low score, both for an adult and for a child, all the more - is the strongest blow to self-esteem, which acts very destructively on the psyche. But such a method in the general education system is still only beginning to be discussed here and there. And our children are obliged to learn a full course in all school subjects.

And yet, the division of children according to their addictions and mental properties, from the level of their development, takes place in our education right now. This happens in specialized schools - lyceums, classes and programs in which are formed in such a way that the person-oriented approach in teaching allows teachers to organize work at the modern level, taking into account the individuality of each individual growing individual.
