IV. Distance Learning. Audio and Visual Aids
Дистанционная программа Школы-ВУЗа "Современное образование" называется ППС - педагогика, психология, спорт. Разрабатывается с 16 марта 2020 года, со дня перехода Школы-ВУЗа "Современное образование" на дистанционное обучение. Суть - проводить видео уроки, максимально приближенные к реальной жизни, а так-же обеспечить психологическую поддержку ученику.
Педагогика делит образовательный процесс человека на форму и содержание. Часть "содержание" образовательного процесса в Школе-ВУЗе "Современное обра-зование", а также его связь с формой обучения, иначе - технологиями, описаны в нашей концепции (см."Наша концепция" на сайте и ОСНОВЫ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНО-ГО ПРОЦЕССА. КЛАССИКА И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ).
Дистанционное обучение отличается от "обычного, реального" - по форме, фор-мату. Здесь и следует искать пути решения обучения человека в дистанционном, он-лайн режиме.
Занятие в начальной школе (40') делим на две части - 25+ 15. Первая часть - "общее занятие", в котором участвует весь класс, вторая часть - конкретный индиви-дуальный подход: учитель работает с каждым учеником в индивидуальном режиме. Содержательная часть обучения (тексты, упражнения) изложена в частях I (Vocabu-lary and Speech), II (Grammar. Pronunciation), III (Reading. Writing. Speech) данного по-собия. Наш дистанционный формат требует от учителя умения работать на компью-тере, а также умения переосмыслить материал в сторону организации занятия в ин-дивидуальном режиме и с помощью комплексного метода обучения.
В этом большую роль сыграют
Audio and Visual Aids
Человек познаёт мир через глаза (зрительное восприятие), уши (слуховое вос-приятие), руки (моторика), другие органы восприятия, и это следует знать и помнить при обучении человека. Комплексный метод обучения, к которому пришла педагоги-ка к концу прошлого века, предполагает использование всех названных выше средств познания действительности с помощью разнообразных приёмов и способов. Таковыми приёмами и способами являются многочисленные упражнения данного по-собия, которые включаются учителем в работу по мере необходимости.
Все упражнения прорабатываются как с помощью зрительного восприятия, так и на слух (записаны на аудио носитель). Таким образом дистанционная программа ППС предполагает использование инновационных технологий в специальном режи-ме: монитор + печатные материалы + аудио носители.
Для развития навыков продуктивной свободной речи, а также в целях воспитания всесторонне развитой личности
в эту часть пособия включены соответствующие темам видео материалы - слайды, кинофильмы, видеофильмы и фрагменты из них.
