How distance learning affected the results of the exam?
Ivan Yashchenko: of Course, the guys were hard to pass the exam this year the exam is and the stress, and then there’s the postponement, the inability to communicate with teachers and friends. But we see serious positive changes: the statistics shows a lower dispersion of the results of the exam between the regions, increased the number of vysokoballnikov where before they had almost no. But if 10 years ago, when the procedure of the exam were subjected to harsh criticism, was easily explained by the dishonesty of the exam, now causes not that. After 2013, the exam was really fair and objective measure of the quality of education.
what today is the alignment of the results of the exam?
Ivan Yashchenko: Guys from many regions have not previously had access to quality materials for the preparation for the exam, and teachers for methodological support. This year they received it from the Ministry of education and from Moscow. The capital is not simply moved to the remote control, but also gave the regions the opportunity for free use of their teaching materials. It became available in Moscow e-school, and at the initiative of the mayor of Moscow on issues of social development Anastasia Rakova was opened a full-fledged online school, which has integrated the lessons of the best teachers of Moscow and modern solutions Yandex, so the guys from the utmost parts were able to prepare for the exam using the experience of Moscow. We opened our materials, and it has leveled the chances of children from the capital and from the provinces. It is important that all of the materials were free and accessible.
What is the preparation for the exam in the regions different from the capital?
Ivan Yashchenko: from the Soviet era, the final examination is often reduced to what the teacher dictated the children answers to the tickets, progressively possible jobs, and even worked through University collections. But the thing is that the repetition must be systematic. This approach was implemented in the Moscow projects, which have become available online.
We get the appreciation from thousands of people from all over the country which not only successfully passed the exam and, though in recent months, felt the taste of real effective teaching. Instead of mechanical proveshivanija options they repeated all the topics, plus used an individual trajectory, trained in the special collections of tasks. Such recommendations were given in the recent materials of the Federal Institute of pedagogical measurements.
by the Way, online will make Moscow such projects as “Mathematical hierarchy” available to all children in the country.
thus, we see that the number of stabulnieku notlot decreased. How can this be explained?
Ivan Yashchenko: the fact that the winners of the final stage of all-Russian Olympiad are automatically entered into the universities and can not pass the exam this year, even for a certificate. And a huge number of students took advantage of this opportunity. So technically it is impossible to compare the results of this year and last. But just a “polimialgia” our people were first able to become stabulnieki.
But not everyone is suitable for children distance learning…
Ivan Yashchenko: Yes, not all. But a lot of guys were able to take advantage of new opportunities and prepare for the exams even better than in a normal situation. They had more time to prepare: the exam has shifted, and less time was spent on non-core subjects. It is clear that the children are a little lost in the breadth of education, but they were able to prepare better for the exam.
And very interesting that the attendance of some of online math classes in Moscow schools, exceeded 200%. This was due to a surprising phenomenon: the boys invited friends from other schools on distance learning to their beloved teachers. And teachers, of course, did not mind. That is, there is something that can be realized only online. It will not take the eleventh-grader of friend on an ordinary math lesson. And at school № 58 the young Director Dmitry Shcherbakov – it was systematic.
In the case of distanta very important mental attitude. Managed to save it?
Ivan Yashchenko: AND FIPI, and the Center of excellence were given special psychological guidelines that were published in the media. Students who were focused on results, coped with the excitement and stress, were able to organize their work and even improved their performance. And those who would want to school them customized, as a rule, the results worsened. On distance much depends on their own motivation and family support, if conditions were created that all turned out.
How to develop school and “remote control”?
Ivan Yashchenko: We interviewed about a thousand students who have achieved high results at the Olympics. Very few of them want all the lessons were held remotely. But what surprised us, more than half of respondents were in favour of a combination of online formats and conventional forms of education.
On behalf of the Department of education and science of the city of Moscow with the new academic year the Center of excellence will run a number of courses for Moscow school students, which will be held entirely online. One of the pilot projects – astronomy, a subject where there are problems with the training of teachers, besides, its more interesting to study on the computer. Project startet in October. We are also preparing a module on genetics together with the center “Sirius”, in mathematics and other subjects. All this is done with the participation of the best teachers of Moscow and professors from leading universities.
I am Sure that forced distant will give a huge impetus to the use of modern technology in education, will allow us to combine different formats. After all, this situation shown to children and their parents that learning should be honest, sincere, interesting and effective.
