The main goal of modern education is to develop those abilities of the child that are needed by him and society. During schooling, all children should learn to be socially active and acquire the skill of self-development. This is logical - even in the psychological and pedagogical literature, the goals of education mean the transfer of experience from the older generation to the younger. However, in fact it is something much more.
Pedagogical aspect
The goals of modern education in teaching carry out a backbone function. After all, the choice of content, as well as means and methods of teaching, depends on their definition. The goals set for the teacher provoke the emergence of many professional issues. And the most important one sounds like this: “Why, what and how to teach schoolchildren?” It seemed like a simple question. Here is the only correct and complete answer to itcan give a highly qualified specialist who is aware of all the ethical, subject, aesthetic, life and professional nuances of his profession.
And all good teachers initially define the goals and objectives of education. They are able to set them so precisely that it will be possible to build a process that guarantees their achievement and implementation as quickly as possible. A professional teacher will never bypass this, rushing immediately to the preparation of curricula, manuals and programs.
FSES
Federal State Educational Standards allow everyone to understand what the purpose of education is. Everything is spelled out as clearly as possible in the Federal State Educational Standard.
It says that the goal of education is not only to achieve substantive results in the Russian language, geography, physics and other disciplines. The learning process is also aimed at shaping the personality of children and at mastering skills that will be useful to them in the future. This includes communication skills, the ability to show leadership qualities and engage in self-education, the ability to find, process and use information, demonstrate their experience and the results of personal work.
The purpose of education today is to develop several activities of the child at once and to motivate him to perform a variety of research and project work.
Tasks
So, the purpose of education has already been told. Now to be notedattention and tasks.
The main one is the constant, systematic improvement of the educational level of the population of our state. Also, one of the tasks involves preparing new generations for life in a democratic society. The training is also aimed at the formation and development of an integral educational space of the Russian Federation, not only at the federal, but also at the global level.
In addition to the above, the goals and objectives of education imply the social integration of all groups in society. Regardless of their physical and mental he alth, ethnicity, political and religious beliefs. Based on this belief, one more goal can be deduced - ensuring the same starting opportunities for children in the field of education.
About principles
There are certain foundations on which the formation of the Russian Federation traditionally relies. These principles should also be mentioned.
The key is the pluralism of the educational environment, freedom and democracy. Also, one should not forget about humanism and the importance of universal human values, which are necessarily manifested in the processes of education and training.
In addition, the level of mobility of the educational system, the variability of its technologies, individuality and scientific validity are important. And constant adaptability. After all, the needs of society, like the conditions of life, are constantly changing. And along with them, the goals of modern education and the system itself are changing.
Functionseducation
They are also worth briefly discussing. Each educational institution organizes the learning process, which performs several important functions at once.
The first one is motivational. At school, children find an incentive to get an education and study certain subjects. A good teacher knows how to justify the significance of this process, as well as arouse in pupils an interest in a particular discipline.
Another function is informational. At the lessons, children receive a certain amount of information that affects the formation of their worldview, provides food for spiritual development and specialized skills.
The third function is called integrating. After some time, each pupil begins to apply in real life the knowledge and skills acquired at school. This is one of the most important functions. The child, having understood by his own example that school knowledge is really useful, receives an additional, not imposed incentive to learn. It is also worth noting the attention of the coordinating function. Through education, children learn to apply the different methods they have learned so far to accomplish a given task.
And the last, most important function is called educational. In the process of learning, the child receives spiritual and value development, masters such qualities as diligence, mental activity, purposefulness, perseverance and perseverance.
The result of education
Much has been said above about the goals and objectives of education. There are many of them, but this is not the whole list. Butwhether the educational institution successfully implemented the program can be easily determined. There is a standard "model" for a high school graduate.
If a pupil actively strives to expand his value horizon, leads a safe and he althy lifestyle, adequately and wisely designs his future and realizes himself as a person living in society - the goal of modern general school education has been achieved. Such a person can think creatively and critically, is able to independently choose a profession, and also knows how to make personal choices, take actions and bear responsibility for them.
Learning process
Telling about the goal of general education, one cannot fail to note the attention and actions of the teaching staff, without which its achievement is not possible.
First of all, this is a didactic processing of educational material. Each teacher must adapt it for understanding by students. And highlight the most important. After all, it is unrealistic to provide pupils with all the knowledge on the subject - the "budget" of time is too small. In addition, this is how the teacher turns science into an academic discipline. One is distinguished from the other by the logic of presentation and the totality of concepts. Teachers specifically select a part of the scientific discipline that corresponds to the conditions of study and the educational program.
Also, professional teachers take into account psychologization. The educational process assumes that children need to be taught material taking into account their age characteristics, level of training and personal characteristics. But such processing of information should not be carried out to the detriment of itsscientific and objectivity.
Important Features
It is worth noting that each teacher, realizing the goal of education, must connect theory with practice and training with education. Even if the teacher teaches mathematics, he must not be distracted from reality. Considering how abstract and abstract some theories can be, this presents a certain professional difficulty. However, any position offered by the teacher for study should be combined with the formation of useful skills and abilities, as well as with the acquisition of creative experience and the ability to adequately assess reality.
And, of course, the content of the training must necessarily correspond to the approved program. The education of the Russian Federation is aimed at the development of not only a person, but society and the state as a whole. And all the tasks implemented by schools are dictated by the level of development of science, culture and the nature of our civilization.
