social networks are continuing to discuss the possibility of a total transfer of Russia with the full-time distance learning. Now talking about the impending experiment of this kind once in 14 regions, including Chelyabinsk and Tyumen region, as well as in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous district and Perm Krai. Meanwhile, the leadership at all levels, starting from the presidency, denies these rumors and says that to abandon the traditional education of pupils and students no one is going.
the School “figure” assured “MK” in the Ministry of education, will be only a Supplement to classes in a traditional, “live” school.
the Ural media and social networks are actively discussing the upcoming region experiment with distance learning, and for the most part in a negative way: “sabotage against the state” – that’s the main leitmotif of most of the statements. And the passions that cheered even since network petition opponents distant, gained momentum in the midst of a pandemic and quiet after Putin called the rumors about the transfer of national education on distance learning “provocation”, and those who distribute them – “provocateurs”.
Now collect signatures again. Because, as it fears users of social networks, “the authorities want to deprive the teachers work”, replacing them with artificial intelligence, and to force the children to communicate with robots. And, according to some, the petition currently signed by almost 235 thousand.
In substantiation of this fear, opponents refer to the official information about the experiment on the introduction of the digital educational environment (TSOs). In particular, they cite the explanatory note to the draft, which says that DSP is “the totality of conditions for realization of educational programs with application of remote educational technologies”, and the experiment to introduce a model digital learning environment is available from the 1st of September 2020 to 31 December 2022. And that, say, an ordinary school will end, believe it. First in the 14 pilot regions, and there, and everywhere.
In confirmation of the fact that “in educational institutions that will host the experiment, will carry high-speed Internet (at least 50 MB/s in the villages and 100 MB/s in urban areas). Also they will be equipped with computers and necessary software”. And in the end, “students protest against distance education, and the MoE all is silent. I believe that the silence of the Ministry of education on this score criminal negligence”, – says one of the outraged posts. And these messages a lot.
meanwhile, the head of Department Valery Falkov has repeatedly denied the rumors about the total transfer of the school, including the highest with face-to-face learning mode on distant, and the last time only a couple of days ago. Repeatedly approverGal the same rumours about secondary school and secondary vocational education of the head of the Ministry of education Sergey Kravtsov.
1 September all children will go to school, and we are preparing for it,- he declared once again on June 29.- Preparing and children, who miss their schools. Of preparing teachers. We just need to take all measures in relation to epidemiological safety.
– No replacement of “live” teaching students remote is not planned! If the epidemiological situation will not worsen, we hope, from September 1, all students in the country sit at their desks, and they will begin a quite ordinary learning process, – said the “MK” in the Ministry of education. – However, at the same time, indeed, will begin an experiment to introduce in schools and colleges in several regions of the digital educational environment.
However, the purpose of this step is not total translation school online, and the creation of conditions to Supplement traditional learning with new opportunities provided by modern technology. Thus, it is not about replacing one form of training — full-time — others, remote, and on the possibilities of use in an internal educational process some elements of digital programmes — for example, materials of the Russian electronic school, collected best practices and lessons of the best teachers in the country.
Especially important is the empowerment of ordinary schools for remote regions of Russia, – explained at the same time in the office and the essence of the experiment. Distance learning, which is in connection with the epidemic simultaneously moved all Russian schools at the end of last school year, highlighted weak areas in the technical equipment. The alignment of the situation and directed the experiment.
And the completion of the Federal project “Digital educational environment” by 2024, will allow you to use modern educational technology in addition to education throughout the country. For example, during bursts of seasonal incidence for groups of students due to illness back home. Or for children undergoing long treatment in hospitals. The school will remain exclusively full-time.
