Individual education… Modern parents probably have come across this term more than once in Western magazines, TV shows or films. Many outstanding scientists, athletes and politicians of the world were once engaged in a personally developed program? Interesting, tempting and most likely promising, isn't it?
And what is happening in our country? Is it possible?
Section 1. Individual education in Russia
According to the indicators of the Department of State Policy of the Russian Federation, at the moment only in our country there are 85 thousand children on individual training, including about 45 thousand people with disabilities.
The number of lessons depends on the class in which the training is conducted, and based on one week, and in total is:
- For grades 1-4 - about 8 hours;
- For grades 5-8 - 10 hours;
- For 9-11 o'clock;
- For 10-11s –no more than 12 hours.
The current legislation of the Russian Federation allows people who have reached school age to receive the necessary education both in educational institutions and at home. As a rule, problems related to the mental or physical he alth of the child can serve as a reason for registering this type of knowledge acquisition.
Although, in principle, parents may express a desire to independently educate their child, or to involve private teachers in the educational process. This is not contrary to the law on education.
Section 2. Individual training. Key benefits.
- The pace of mastering knowledge. From this point of view, the undisputed leader is
- Taking into account the abilities of the child. By assigning a mentor to the baby, parents can be sure that a highly qualified specialist will see the abilities of their ward in time. As a result, with a little mathematician, it will be possible to study in more depth, say, physics, mathematics or chemistry, and the humanities student will continue the educational process, focusing on literature and foreign languages.
- Auspiciousworking environment. At home, you can, if you wish, create special conditions for learning, namely, make school furniture according to an individual project, prepare a set of all necessary literature (reference books, encyclopedias, dictionaries). If the baby wakes up very early and is more active in the morning, study in the morning, and the owl baby will benefit more from the evening hours.
- Psychological aspect. An emotional child will no longer need to experience additional stress each time associated with getting used to a new environment, team, and the environment as a whole.
- A forced measure. Very often it turns out that home schooling becomes not just a whim of modern parents, but the only way to get an education. Often these kids are not allowed to go to school. And if parents can cope with reading, writing and mathematics at the initial stages on their own, then individual teaching of English or any other foreign language, in the event that, of course, if one of the relatives is not a qualified teacher in this industry, requires services of a certain kind specialists.
so-called home schooling, because The curriculum is adjusted individually for each student. Someone masters all the necessary material in a fairly short time, while someone will need additional time. It is almost impossible to arrange individual training at school, because the teacher must devote sufficient and equal time to each student.
Section 3. Individual training. Disadvantages of this training type
- Socialization. According to psychologists, in the home form of education, the child often lacks communication with his peers. This is
- He althy competition. The so-called "home" student, asAs a rule, he receives a huge amount of information, and the learning process takes place in a cozy home environment. But from the point of view of psychology, the baby very quickly gets used to the fact that it is he who receives all the attention of the teacher, and as a result of this, he lags far behind in terms of psychological maturation.
- Objectivity of evaluation. Of course, in schooling there is a very likely danger that your child will simply go unnoticed in the crowd of classmates, and his talents and abilities will not be fully disclosed. But with homeschooling, everything is just completely different. Sometimes excessive condescension or, conversely, excessive severity is shown to the baby.
- The material side of the issue. In most cases, school education in our country is still free. There may be expenses, of course, but they usually come down to paying for textbooks, food, and the occasional cash collection for repairs or gifts to teachers. Home schooling requires the involvement of private educators, whose services can hit the budget hard.
subsequently may affect his adaptation in society.
