Pedagogical activity is closely connected with documentation. To facilitate his work, the teacher should familiarize himself with the drafting scheme and examples of one of the most important documents in his work - the characteristics of the student.
What is a student profile for?
An individual approach to the education and upbringing of the younger generation implies the study of the typological characteristics of a particular child and the creation of such conditions for his development in which this process would take place more efficiently. In the practice of the educational system, such a method of fixing the individual traits of a child, as a characteristic of a student, has been created.
This document allows the teacher himself to generalize knowledge about the growing person, track the dynamics of his development, as well as other people who will work with the child in the future, get a ready-made set of knowledge about him. A well-written characterization helps the person reading it to form an idea of what is happening, a portrait of the child, and on this basis to prioritize work withhim. Therefore, the characteristic of the student as one of the main documents is often required in such cases:
- when transferring to another educational institution;
- to continue studying at the next stage of education;
- at the request of social services;
- to work with child law enforcement;
- when passing the commission at the military enlistment office;
- to organize assistance to the child, for example, in PMPK meetings.
Characterization Plan
Researchers in the field of psychology and pedagogy have analyzed the characteristics that are compiled in educational institutions. It was found that such a document differed in its approach to the study of the child's personality. So, teachers focused on the influence of the pedagogical system on the student, on his behavior in the school environment. And psychologists - on the individual-typological differences of the child. For example, for a teacher, manifestations of discipline and diligence in the educational process are important, for a psychologist - the motives of the child's educational activity. Both approaches did not fully describe the personality of the student in the specific conditions of the educational system. Therefore, it was concluded that the characteristics of the student should be built according to a certain plan (algorithm) and include the following necessary data:
- general information about the child (name, age, where he lives, period of study, family characteristics);
- learning activities;
- behavior;
- social labor;
- communication;
- individualpersonality traits;
- family atmosphere and upbringing.
These items were included in the student characteristics chart, which is filled in by the teacher throughout the child's education. It not only gives a complete picture of the student's personality, but also helps to further compose an objective description.
Student activities
The activity of a child in an educational institution includes several types that should be described in such a document. This is:
- learning activities (achievement, interest, love of reading, academic achievement);
- social activity (degree of expression, initiative, organizational inclinations, authority of the child's opinion, attitude towards the role of a follower, desire to perform socially important work);
- communicative activity, communication (popularity in the team, the presence of comrades, sociability, the ability to speak to an audience, openness, responsiveness, focus on the opinions of others, relationships with teachers).
The characteristic of the student's activity shows how the child is adapted to the educational environment. How he assimilates social experience, knows how to make independent decisions and draw up a plan of action.
Psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student. What does it include?
The indicated map-scheme includes, in fact, both the psychological and the pedagogical part. These include the following data:
- features of the child's behavior (discipline, stubbornness,purposefulness, conflict, degree of aggressiveness, motor activity, degree of assimilation of pedagogical influence or education);
- individual-psychological characteristics (self-esteem, anxiety level, balance, striving for success or ambition, what feelings it causes in others);
- family influence (emotional atmosphere in the family, closeness and trust in relationships, the degree of control and interest of parents in the life of the child, the independence of the student, the degree of cooperation between parents and teachers).
Psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student may also include information about the child's tendency to deviant behavior. In this case, it is necessary to indicate which specific examples indicate this.
Sample document
Samples of characteristics for students can be compiled by educators as a good example, which will further facilitate the work with documentation. Below is a similar sample.
