DEVELOPMENT IN ADDITIONAL
TECHNICALLY ORIENTED EDUCATION
This century life rhythm requires updating, improving technologies used
in the system of additional education, i.e. their technosphere and use in
process of additional education the innovative technologies and technical means
for the possibility of consolidation and expansion of school knowledge, for
receiving additionally to school knowledge the extensive theoretical and
technological knowledge, the formation of a creative personality.
And in the project " The development of technosphere activities at
institutions of additional education of research, engineering, technical,
engineering orientation for children" as part of the Federal target
programme for the development of education in Russia for 2011 - 2015 years,
complex approach to modernization of educational process is disclosed in the
concept of "Technosphere". Technosphere of educational institution is
a collection of educational content, resources, technologies, standards, and
related with it communications and public relations, in this case the concept
of "Technosphere" following V.M. Rozin is considered as the sum of
technologies [2], and should be based on the implementation a complex approach
to management of information resources and the formation of the concept of
information and communication solutions for educational institutions.
At turn of the 20th and 21st centuries defined the new requirements for
a person's education, which not only by special knowledge is now determined,
but also and primarily by versatile development of personality. Is very
important for society to educate creative people having creative thinking,
capable of active social adaptation in society, self-education and
self-improvement. Therefore, a priority in education, starting with school is
the unity of the two paradigms: informationally cognitive and personally
oriented. For realization of this purpose as practice shows the combination of
basic and additional non-formal education serves, which is one of the
determining factors for development of abilities and interests of a person, his
professional self-determination [1, 2].
One of the major aspects of implementation problem of any
educational programme is the forms and methods of teaching. Concerning forms,
we support the views that are important firstly, their variety and combination
of various forms, secondly, teachers’ initiative in finding new aspects in the
implementation of forms used. Similarly, in regarding methods: it is also
possible to use techniques of different methods for the organization of
productive activities of students and traditional pedagogy and student-centered
learning.
At the first stage as part of the programme of education development for
2011 - 2015 years formed the strategic development projects of education,
including a number of new interrelated directions. As one of the determining
directions is provided the efficient use of resources of education system
sociocultural modernization based on the use at model of technosphere the bases
of internetworking education, creation of an unified information educational
environment of district, city and the development of electronic certificates
for educational institutions. Such socio-educational environment includes the
inside and outside school space, and assumes creation of an integrated
education space for different children categories (schools, institutions of
additional education, sports facilities and other social sectors). Formation of
urban social and educational infrastructure should be aimed at establishing and
maintaining personal needs of children, implementation of activity and
competence approach.
For example, many cities, in particular Saratov, being the largest
cities, having the developed educational and scientific environment, may offer
such an opportunity for students. This requires schools, universities, research
institutions and the business rearrange the relationship between them,
providing educational and innovative alliance needed for a wide variety of
communications, innovations and entrepreneurship. Before last year there was draft
of the Strategy of socio-economic development of the Saratov region until 2025
and the Programme for its implementation in the field of education, yet the
problem is that the standards of additional education programmes are not
developed, and the standard cannot be reduced to the content of programmes. Is
required scientific analysis of the problem of organizing such an interworking.
In such an alliance in Saratov the Technical University can take a key
role, because exactly it, preparing staff of engineers and managers, provides a
bunch of different structures (educational, scientific, production,
implementation, etc). According to the concept of "creating the system of
continuous education, training and retraining professional personnel through the
formation of branch clusters of institutions of higher, secondary and
elementary vocational training, based on higher educational institutions of the
region, and interacting with branch leading enterprises in the implementation
of innovative research and educational projects and training personnel of all
levels of professional education " on basis of the Technical University
united a number of educational institutions (colleges, high school, technical
schools) and other organizations (involved in educational activities by
organizing practices, providing laboratory equipment, teaching materials,
providing experts), that allows to solve questions of creation of innovative
environment, providing high-quality implementation of the new educational
standard, continuity of educational programmes, designing of innovative forms
and techniques of individual work with students to meet their educational
interests, organizing extracurricular activities of students. Modern
information technologies make innovation copyrights of one educational
institution accessible to others. Thus at the University created the conditions
for the development of a technosphere model of the innovative additional school
education system based on preliminary training management. Now gained a great experience
in organizing of students' project activities (design lessons, project weeks,
projects competitions etc.). The obligatory development of project activities
envisages the additional education of children in research, engineering,
technical, engineering, organizational and administrative orientation.
Experience of the developed countries confirms that innovative thinking
formed since school time. Without missing the time the Technical University
must work with schoolchildren, so to form the basis for their research
activities at the Technical University created a new model of technically
oriented organization the "School Technopark". Its main task as a
resource center of the additional education technosphere is to unite young
researchers from different schools and colleges of the city for the
possibilities for acquaintance and practical training to work with modern
high-tech engineering and scientific equipment within the framework of
additional education. The school technopark realizes joint work of schoolchildren
and academic staff of the Technical University via the 15 educational
directions. There pupils of older and middle age, students of secondary special
educational institutions are engaged. Mechatronics and Robotics nowadays are
the most attractive technologies for building automatic systems. Pupils do the
research, development, experimental works, development of new and improvement
of existing constructions and apparatuses, technical devices. Children
participate in the performance of tasks that are the part of scientific work
carried out at the University and enterprises. The projects of the direction
"Mechatronics and Robotics in aeromodelling, programmable toy robots
(walking robots, mobile carts, tanks), etc. implemented with the support of the
"Regional Center of additional education for children "Search"
of the Ministry of Education of Saratov region.
Yearly senior pupils of all schools can submit reports, essays,
projects, creative reports, constructions and devices, items based on results
of research, development, experimental activity at All-Russian Research
Conference "The first steps in science", which is held at the
Technical University in framework of the All-Russian Festival of Science. The
Conference aim is to attract pupils of 9th-11th forms to research activities,
as well as supporting the work of school research societies.
