Lessons from technology: will new labor standards make a new person? Do you need work in a modern school.

Technology lessons in Moscow schools are evolving. Homemade stools are being replaced by hand-made robots, and the usual aprons are giving way to fashionable dresses ..

The discipline "work" accompanies students practically all school life: from the first to the eighth to ninth grades. In elementary school, children sculpt from plasticine, make origami and appliques. From the fifth grade, "work" turns into "technology", which is aimed not so much at needlework as at mastering the advanced skills of modern everyday life.

As a rule, in high school, boys and girls are trained separately: some are trained to become jack of all trades, others - exemplary housewives. But there are also exceptions. In some schools, technology is taught to the whole class. For example, at school № 1601 young representatives of the stronger sex learn to cook and embroider together with the beautiful half of the population.

There are also educational institutions where computer science teachers teach boys how to work, considering the basics of programming to be the work of real guys. Regardless of the curriculum, these activities will adapt children to real life, where the do-it-yourself principle is still important.

21st century technology: what has changed

Today, according to the requirements of the state educational standard, technology lessons should teach children to navigate in modern medicine, production and processing of various materials, mechanical engineering, food and service, as well as in the information environment.

Recently a member of the Public Chamber of Russia to teach within the discipline of fundamentals of agriculture.

At the same time, schools and teachers are free to choose the program. Viktor Fertman, deputy head of the Moscow Department of Education, explained to the website that educational institutions are now keeping pace with the times: in technology lessons, children study robotics and design, gain knowledge in the fields of physics, drawing and computer science. In some schools, children are taught to make devices for people with disabilities or cases for mobile phones.

"There is a curriculum, while teachers have a certain degree of creative freedom: you can add something from yourself ..

In recent years, schools have the opportunity to do design work, arrange presentations and open lessons. An interactive form of communication motivates students and makes classes even more interesting.

Expert opinion

Teachers have become increasingly creative. Technology teacher at school # 1021 Alexander Smetov told the site that their institution plans to purchase special kits for creating robots. According to the teacher, robotics is interesting for children of any age.

Technology classes now look like full-fledged workshops. At school no. 1021, they are equipped with multifunctional machines, including models that are allowed to be admitted to children from eight years of age. On one such machine, you can perform many actions: sawing, drilling or doing the work of a turner.

Interesting and tasty: young housewives

Cooking, sewing and handicrafts are the three pillars of a technology program for girls. School number 1415 will serve as a striking example of creative teaching of young ladies.

There, schoolgirls, instead of the annoying vinaigrette, prepare hamburgers, learn to make decorative elements for dishes and invent their own salad recipes. And during sewing classes, they put on real fashion shows, dressing their classmates in stylish hand-sewn dresses.

Expert opinion

Technology teacher at school No. 1415 Irina Smirnova

Technology lessons are now aimed not only at teaching the work of a housewife. Girls also do hair projects, learn to count calories correctly, and take psychological tests. In addition, the school has a museum that contains tools and various household appliances from the 15th – 17th centuries. For example, students can see how the fabric was created many years ago.

By the way, projects made by schoolchildren are put up for various competitions. This year, in technology lessons, the children made huge applications in the form of the coats of arms of the North-Eastern Administrative District, which were sewn to dresses on a sewing machine. Their work won the district competition. In the next academic year, the school plans to create a hand-made panel on the theme "Streets of Moscow". Teachers of technology, geography and literature are going to participate in the project.

In teaching young people, teachers' opinions differ. Someone gives preference to information technology, while others prefer manual work. Wood and metal processing are still included in the "technological set" of young gentlemen.

The technology teacher at school No. 1021 Alexander Smetov believes that working with your hands ennobles a person and makes a real man out of a teenager. The teacher himself has the badge "Excellence in military construction" and is not just a teacher of technology, but the first man in the history of school No. 1021 to take over the class leadership.

Expert opinion

Technology teacher at school No. 1021 Alexander Smetov

In labor lessons, the guys make decorative work from wood, using the technique of carving, burning and painting. Students are also taught to work with plywood and paper. Many of the works of pupils of school No. 1021 won the interdistrict competition of fine and decorative-applied arts "Pantry of Crafts - 2016".

However, the boys' works are not only of aesthetic value. According to Smetov, his students know how to make a beautiful birdhouse, hammer or nut of their own production. While the fifth-graders are mastering the machines, the older children are told how to build a house.

Each person has the opportunity to choose what he will do, physical or intellectual labor. Some are very good at mathematics and physics, others are not capable of these subjects, but they have something different, creative, they have "golden hands" that also need to be developed. Earlier, the school had labor lessons that were not the same as now. And the supply was at the level and the time was different.

Many even now remember the lessons of labor in school positively, while others do not. Agree, a lot depends on the kind of teacher. And this applies to all subjects without exception. Personally, I have almost nothing to remember about my labor lessons. I vaguely remember doing something. But I was a creative student, I went to a circle then, I even remember making a steam engine. But I didn't have a mentor who would cheer for this, help me. Therefore, I had to develop myself somehow. Now modern students have completely different interests and hobbies, but this does not mean that there are no creative boys, who invent something, who love to make things with their own hands. There are many of them, you can believe me.

And now let's think a little with you - is there any benefit from labor lessons or not, and why should or should not teach this subject at school? Many people say that this subject has already outlived its usefulness. A few more years and work at school, as an academic subject, may not be at all. Who needs to hammer in nails and use a plane now? Who needs to saw and file? Something to fix at home, nail a shelf or assemble furniture yourself. What for? Call a special person and he, for money, will do everything! Let this watch be given away for other, more important items. After all, everyone knows what the labor lessons at school have turned into at the present stage. There are no qualified teachers; most of them are taught by non-specialists, as a rule, as an additional workload. The workshops are in desolation: no material, no tools, no machines, no visuals! Nothing! So why do we need such a subject from which only problems ?! Opinions differ, as always. It turns out that there are pluses that indicate the need for the presence of this subject in the school curriculum. But there are also disadvantages. Let's figure it out with you, which is actually more. Children, too, no one asks what they want to learn, but this is important. You will conduct a questionnaire in any school class on the topic "what subjects are needed in a modern school." The results will be very interesting. So let's still try to sort out with you the pros and cons of having labor lessons at school.

Pros of a labor lesson:

- Allows children to take a break from other objects that tire them mentally;

- Promotes the emergence of some skills and abilities necessary in adulthood;

- Unites children and teaches them to work in a team;

- Develops love for work and respect for working people;

- Allows you to be liberated, to feel like a creator;

- Develops the creative nature of the child;

- Teaches something new;

Develops the brain and muscle motor skills;

And much more…

Cons of labor lessons:

Not all teachers teach this subject with sufficient quality, which is why children develop hatred of labor lessons;

The program is not very interesting for children, there is little modern in it;

Children can be injured if safety precautions are not followed;

And a couple more, as Sharikov said.

In fact, there are pros and cons if you look for them. The main reason why you can remove labor lessons is economy. If you do not need to buy special equipment and materials, pay a salary to a teacher - this allows you to save money. Parents are not very upset about the lack of labor lessons, but all moms and dads want their children to develop mentally and get good jobs in the future. But, in fact, many people forget that physical work only contributes to mental work, improving its results. Physical work helps combat mental fatigue and "retardation."

Also, labor allows you to determine the difference between mental and physical labor, as well as connect and compare them. This will allow children to better decide what they want to achieve in life, to work with their hands or their heads. And, of course, work develops skills that allow you to develop in all plans. Thus, work at school is an excellent preparatory stage for life, for who you will be and what you will have to face. Labor should be present at school, as its benefits are obvious to everyone.

So is school work necessary?

If for another ten years not a single school did without a labor lesson, today this subject is considered by many to be "morally obsolete." Is this so, and are such classes necessary for modern schoolchildren?

So, the parents, according to their views on the existing education system, were divided into two groups. The first group included those people who believe that labor lessons will not teach their child anything useful, therefore it is best to devote this study time to another occupation, for example, a lesson in English, mathematics, computer science or even economics. But another group of parents are convinced that “you can't even get a fish out of the pond without difficulty,” that is, such lessons are not only useful, but also informative for schoolchildren of all ages. That is, the child learns to work, to show his thinking and ingenuity, and also to realize himself in another area of ​​life. To understand for yourself whether labor lessons are needed at school, it is worth remembering what girls and boys do on them.

As I remember from the school curriculum, girls in such classes sew a skirt and an apron, knit booties and socks, embroider with a cross and satin stitch, and also get acquainted with the basics of cooking. In addition, they prepare a sweet table with their own hands, and then invite classmates to a friendly tea party. In general, it is very interesting, but the main thing is that young ladies not only receive a sea of ​​positive from the work done, but also comprehend new knowledge that will certainly be useful to them in their future life and motherhood.

As for the boys, they always have fun activities, for example, working with wood, making crafts and souvenirs, the basics of carpentry and minor home repairs. Every boy will remember how he made an original flower vase from a tin can, a pots from old plates and a real kitchen stool with his own hands.

There are a lot of impressions, but the main thing is that such a future man will at least be able to hammer a nail in his house, and this, as you know, is not so little. Having studied all these school memories, many parents come to the conclusion that labor lessons are still cognitive for every student, be it a boy or a girl. But, nevertheless, each person must choose for himself what he wants to do in the future - physical and intellectual activity, but just such lessons helped him to set his life priorities and try himself in every business.

The most surprising thing is that today physical labor has given way to intellectual labor, and the once fascinating lessons of labor have now been replaced by a new subject "technology". This innovation focuses on the child's acquaintance with the computer, as well as on the acquisition of basic skills at work. Of course, we live in a world of scientific progress, but this is not at all a reason to forget about the past no less entertaining classes at school. In order to finally decide whether it is worth studying such a subject as "labor" at school, he recommends carefully studying all its advantages and disadvantages, and based on the information received, draw appropriate conclusions. Of course, few people care about the opinion of children in a school. However, this is a fundamentally wrong approach, because a child, being a full-fledged person, can independently make his choice.

So, among the significant advantages, it is necessary to remember that work allows children to get at least a little distracted from the school curriculum and relax morally, because, as you know, memorizing the rules, solving examples and equations, as well as reading large texts simply exhaust the child's psyche, requiring at least a short pause ... In addition, work contributes to the development of fantasy, abstract thinking and memory, and also allows you to get a handle on a certain occupation and gain valuable skills in life. This subject noticeably raises the spirit of collectivism and unites the moral class, because it is so interesting to work together and provide unbearable help to each other.

Also, do not forget that such lessons are always noisy and fun, and this is not surprising, because every student simply offers numerous ideas, showing imagination and ingenuity. In addition, students develop love and attachment to work, and this will certainly come in handy in life. Many attentive mothers notice that their child is a creative person who strives to do unique things with his own hands, and, as you know, this potential is revealed by labor lessons at school. Among the advantages, it is also worth highlighting the knowledge of something new, and such a unique experience allows the child to grow above himself, realizing himself in new areas of life. So it is simply impossible to overestimate the benefits of labor, although, again, not all of the reducers think so.

As for the shortcomings of the so-called "labor education", it should not be denied - they do exist. Firstly, today there are no longer those qualified specialists who instilled in children a love for work. Now such teachers only turn children away from this subject, as a result of bad behavior and regular absenteeism, leading to satisfactory grades. Secondly, the program proposed by the teacher is not always interesting for children, especially if classes for girls and boys are combined and, due to the lack of adequate space, are held in the same class. Thirdly, the lack of equipment necessary for lessons, and the theory is enough for children in other lessons. This is where all the disadvantages of labor end, but the advantages of such occupations are definitely much greater.

If we face the truth, we can safely say that it is economically unprofitable to conduct labor lessons. the fact is that all the equipment used, either due to the expiration of its service life, is simply out of order, or morally obsolete for children living in the era of nanotechnology. As a rule, the school does not have sufficient funding to acquire new machines, devices and mini-workshops, so you have to save money, and replace the labor lesson with technology. Parents, as a rule, do not interfere with such innovations, since they are sincerely happy that their offspring has the opportunity to additionally engage in mental work, mastering the work with a computer.

Today, a huge number of schools have abandoned labor lessons, sincerely believing that such classes are just a waste of children's time and nothing more. There are many reasons for this refusal, for example, in private schools this is an initiative of parents who want to focus on mental development in teaching their children. As for educational schools, the meager budget itself dictates its own rules, because it is clear that the maintenance of machines, the cost of purchasing materials, and even the teacher's salary are all those costs that not every school can handle. Also, many principals are afraid that the inexperience of schoolchildren can lead to increased injuries, and such a reputation is certainly useless for any school.

There are not many parents who would try to bring the labor development of their children back to schools, as this requires money and vacant premises. Of course, such questions are raised more than once at parent-teacher meetings, but the matter does not go beyond loud statements and eloquent slogans. Often the director transfers the initiative into the hands of the parent committee, however, on a voluntary basis, it is also impossible to return work to school. If earlier the children were very upset because of the lack of such lessons, today it is a joy for them, because you can skip the lesson or do a more interesting activity.

One way or another, there must be labor lessons in elementary school. Why? The fact is that physical activity trains the fine motor skills of the fingers, and, as you know, it is these parts of the body that transmit signals to the brain, that is, by attending such lessons, the child develops and grows above himself. That is why many parents, sending their child to the first grade, are keenly interested in whether the chosen school has labor lessons that are valuable for child development. If there are any, then there is no doubt that they will certainly interest the still not spoiled schoolchild who is striving for new knowledge.

What value do primary school students gain from labor lessons in school? First, they solve developmental problems capable of training technical and visual-figurative thinking, independence, creativity, spatial imagination, memory and even speech of a child. Secondly, didactic tasks are provided that teach you how to work with reference literature and the attached instructions for a particular product. Thirdly, educational tasks teach you to be neat, frugal and tidy, which in the future may also come in handy more than once. The solution to such tasks at each lesson forms the personality, therefore, there will certainly be no harm from a labor lesson to the child.

Every parent must understand that a child must grow up comprehensively in order to be able to adapt in time to all life situations. This is not so little, because mom and dad will not always be there, and one day you will still have to enter adulthood with all its surprises and surprises. However, one way or another, the choice remains with adults, because only they decide which school to send their child to.

Labor lessons today are not available in every school, therefore, when placing your child in the first grade, it is worth asking the director if the school curriculum provides for labor education lessons.
