Pedagogical practice includes a huge number of elements important for the mental development of schoolchildren. This is an explanation of the material in the form of lectures, and homework, and various practical exercises. Also a very important element is independent work, which, by the way, has a double meaning.
Versatility of the concept
It is interesting to understand the concept itself. So, what exactly is “self-employment?” Someone will say that this is the desire of the student to comprehend knowledge without anyone's help, and someone will simply remember the next task in the lesson, when there is simply nowhere to wait for help and it is necessary to state the knowledge gained on paper alone. Both answers can be considered correct. This concept can be considered from several sides.
On independence
It is worth noting that independent work is an important element of the educational activity of every student. After all, how much the studentis interested in learning new material, not only excellent academic performance, but also the mental development of the child depends on the desire to comprehend new knowledge. But how do you get a student to learn on their own? It is quite difficult to do this, because first of all you need a great desire on the part of the student. But you can try to interest the class in one or another subject. It already depends on the skill and professionalism of each individual teacher. It is necessary not only to promise rewards in the form of marks for excellent independent work outside the school walls, but also to instill a desire for knowledge itself, for the desire to learn something new. It is very important in almost every lesson not to give children answers to all questions, but to leave a bit of uncertainty for self-education. Working from a template is much easier, but not as productive as we would like. It is necessary to force the child to look for the answer on his own, then this activity will have a positive, desired result. It is worth noting that such independent work even during school education will greatly help the child in the future, in adulthood, and will enable everyone not to lose heart before difficult trials, simply looking for a solution to the problem.
Knowledge test
In addition to the above, no less important are independent and control work, which are designed to check the knowledge of students on the material covered. Thus, you can track what remains incomprehensible from the past and what else is worthwork with students. So, independent work in algebra (grade 8 and above), physics, chemistry and other rather difficult disciplines are very important for school education. Individual work in the humanities also brings benefits, enabling the teacher to control the course of the educational process and the progress of students. But this form of learning is also useful for students, when most of the knowledge takes shape, and the gaps in the information received in the lessons and from textbooks become clear and visible.
Conclusions
Based on the above, we can conclude that independent work in any of its forms is extremely useful for the mental development of every student. Do not limit yourself to ordinary homework, a deep understanding of the subject is the key to strong knowledge.
