Classroom is one of the most common forms of extracurricular activities for students, whether they are in elementary school or high school. He has quite a few specific features that characterize him very fully.
Firstly, the classroom has a flexible structure and form. It can be quizzes, games, conversations, meetings, trainings, conferences and much more. When conducting a lesson, there is no need for very strict adherence to a certain structure. The teacher can make changes and adjustments directly along the way, depending on the characteristics and interests of the children.
Secondly, this form of work with students is a way of communication between students and teachers, in which an adult plays a leading role. However, do not forget about the contribution of children to the lesson. In order for the class hour to be interesting and fun, reaching a certain educational goal, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance so that some of the responsibilities are distributed among the students.
Children can be divided into sectors, each of which prepares a certain topic at least once a month. Inclusionschoolchildren in the process activates their mental operations, cognitive interest. Children will learn not only to collect information, but also to present it in such a way as to captivate classmates. This develops leadership qualities in students, which will be useful to them later.
The theme of the events may be different. It should be chosen based on the age of the children.
The main criterion is that the form of work must correspond to the educational task set by the teacher. Topics can be chosen by students. This is especially true if the event is held at the senior level. After all, the 10th grade is unlikely to perceive the usual class hour with enthusiasm. To interest children, you will need to choose not only the form, but also the content of the event in accordance with the needs of schoolchildren.
Among the goals that can be achieved thanks to this form of work, it should be noted the disclosure of the creative abilities of children, team building, education of the emotional sphere and value orientations. Various pedagogical workers (psychologist, counselor, etc.) can also be involved in conducting class hours. Events are held in the form of meetings with interesting people, for example, writers, artists, etc. If necessary, specialists from various departments (narcologists, KDN inspectors, firefighters, etc.) are also invited.
One of the most common and interesting forms of classes for younger students is a class hour. Grade 1 is already the beginning of school life. And how muchan active position will be formed in children at this time, may affect the future life of students in this institution. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct a classroom hour already in the first year of study. In elementary school, it is desirable to choose a game form. The older the children get, the more serious topics can be touched upon. At these events in the middle level, you can already discuss the problems of drug addiction, AIDS, talk about friendship and aggression on the part of some teenagers towards their comrades. In such cases, the discussion form of the event is effective so that each of the children can express their opinion.
