An unusual pedagogical council was held in NIS Semey

“Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey” held an unusual pedagogical council in a new format. The consultation on simplification of students’ homework and their total workload was organized in the format of “UN Model”.
It is not a secret for anyone that mastering the school curriculum presents certain difficulties for some children, because each student is individual and has different learning abilities. However, the final subject test is the same for all. That is why subject teachers try to compare the students’ knowledge level with the program using a variety of teaching methods. One of them is to apply student’s knowledge and skills to do homework and teach him or her to work independently. To discuss this issue and find the optimal solution, the students and their parents, schoolteachers joined the meeting.
– We regularly conduct pedagogical consultations in various interactive formats. The main reason why we chose “UN Model” is that at the meeting all parties can take part in discussions. The peculiarity of this pedagogical council is that the students themselves take part in it. In the classroom, the relevant issues are raised among students. For example, in this case, schoolchildren identified problems regarding homework, and thought about ways to solve it. Judging by our experience, holding such joint meetings favorably influences the educational process, – said the Deputy Director for subject-oriented and experimental work, Raigul Kaiyrkenova.
During pedagogical meeting aimed at improving the quality of students’ education, the conference participants also raised a number of other relevant issues: “What principles should be included in the organization of school time management taking into account the workload of teachers and students?”, “The benefits of homework”, “Factors affecting students’ labor productivity”, “Why do we study the curriculum?”, “The role of parents in learning and doing homework ”- these and many other questions were raised during the meeting.
On the above topics, the students, teachers and parents were divided into three sections devoted to a common issue, and discussed ways to solve problems. After that, by the decision of the pedagogical council, a number of tasks were identified, for the solution of which the school administration, teachers, schoolchildren and their parents should work coherently. Now the school administration plans to hold such meetings regularly.
