THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
AUTHOR'S FORM OF ORGANIZATION LEARNING "LECTURE-LOCOMOTOR ASSOCIATION"
IN PRACTICE OF HIGHER SCHOOL
Annotation. The article is devoted to the search for
improvement of the process of preparation of future teachers. The main attention is focus on disclosure
of theoretical and methodological aspects of the use in practice of higher
educational institutions of the author’s form of organization learning "Lecture-locomotor association. Indicate the
advantages of the proposed lectures compared to other species in the context of facilitate the learning
by the students of complex scientific information, taking into account the
protection them
from mental overload and saving their health. Served algorithm of applications of lecture-locomotor association. Disclosed main mechanisms of proposed forms of organization of learning through a
description of her through the setting tasks, the scientific basis for lectures, ways of implementation, etc.
Scientific basis for the lecture is the doctrine of active rest, method of associative
memory "mnemotechnic" and the doctrine of muscle memory. The
innovation of this lecture consist of the using in the process of conducting motor associations which will help to simplify the
process of memorizing of complex terms.
Key words: professional preparation, students, forms of organization of learning, innovations, health, lecture-locomotor association.
I. Introduction. Despite the fact, that today there are quite a number of interesting approaches to improve the quality of assimilation learning material during lectures, in our opinion, still remains relevant the search for such approaches to organization and realization of lectures, that would allow not only at most higher level to assimilate the learning material, but would contribute to
the preservation of mental and physical health of students, which also closely work with social health. In addition, in some cases, given the specificity of lecture material (special when it involves memorizing of a large amount of scientific information, often difficult-to-comprehend terms, etc.), not always justified is the use of existing and proven experience of these kinds of lectures, like the lecture-conversation lecture-discussion lecture-dialogue lecture
together, lectures with errors, planned in
advance, etc. Thus, in our conviction, the search for new approaches should
occur primarily on the basis of the awareness that better quality of absorption of teaching material is possible, firstly, if the lecture will be provide neuropsychiatric unloading of students, secondly,when will be finding options for easier assimilation of complex scientific information.
All of this prompted us to search for such forms of
organization of training, which would allow taking into account all of the
above. Thus, we have developed and put into practice of the preparation of
future teachers of different specialties lecture-locomotor association. Its
feature is the using during lecture’s classes such actions (locomotion), which would not only contributed to the mental (intellectual) unloading of students, but would create certain associations to
the keywords of proposed
educational material in order to its memorization.
II. Statement of the
problem. The task of the method consist of, firstly, the increasing concentration of attention of students on the most important aspects of the lecture material (that
will contribute to a better learning and understanding of complex scientific
information), secondly, in the prevention of mental overfatigue, which can occur when it necessity of learning during lectures large volume terms, complex
(foreign) words, and so on. Identification of tasks was based on research, which
prove impossible to maintain a high concentration of
attention of students over an extended period of time (for
example, throughout the entire lesson,
which is one hour and twenty minutes), avoiding,
in this case, mental overfatigue. In this regard, this method
is directed at a varying concentration of attention of students over time of all
classes, raising and lowering it, depending on the complexity of the proposed
training material, and also the importance of memorizing of key
words of educational material.
III. Results. The proposed method is based on several studies and
methods, proven by practices. As you can see by halp of the picture, the scientific basis of the method
are a method of memorizing –
mnemotechnique (the method of associative memory),
and also the doctrine of "active rest" and
research of muscle memory. So, offering remembering of complex information using locomotion (movement)
associations, we, primarily, based on proven by practice method of "mnemotechnic". In
normal practice, this method is mainly used in
connection with the need to facilitate the memorization of complex words (often
foreign) with halp of certain mental
(imaginary) associations.
The performance of motor actions that are associated with
a single term or keyword (during his pronunciation by teacher), also includes mechanisms that are responsible for muscle memory,
that, in its turn, promotes better and
faster updating of intellectual knowledges, which were received a long time ago (long term memory). Thus, to ways of realization of aims and tasks
of the proposed method, we,
primarily, consider the performing during lectures
associative movements, the using of
special exercises for the muscles of the back, upper limbs and trunk, and also providing positive emotional atmosphere. Above, in
our opinion, allow us to move directly to the description of the use of associative movements during
lectures.
So, teacher, familiarizing students with the educational
material, choose the most important aspects of the lecture on that it must to focus the attention of students. It can be key words, terms, etc. Thus, when the teacher pronunciation of a
particular keyword, he maintains a pause, that motivates students to focus their attention on the teacher, which,when he make sure that
students appropriate concentration, perform the movement with his free hand, which
is associated with a key word or term, when its speech by teacher. For
example, when teacher speling
the term "thesaurus", he at the same time performs the associative
movement (namely, describe by free
and a circumference, which can be
associate in students with presence of the personal
volume of knowledge
and skills, which characterizes
the specified term). While it is desirable that the
teacher explained, who precisely this movement is carried out with the pronunciation of a particular term. Very important is that fact, that
every movement in its biomechanical structure must associated with the contents of a specific term and must facilitate the memorization of
its name and content.
In this case, in our opinion, it is also appropriate to
use a separate gestures, which are apply
to sign language translation, because
they are most good to remembering and in a certain way associated with the activities, that they reflect. However, we must consider, that gestures in sign
language translation are
not the amplitude. During lectures, we, nevertheless, recommend teacher to use
more amplitude movements, because it due to the need to involve in
work more number muscle groups. Despite the fact that during the application of the lecture-locomotor association student need to remember not only the educational material, but also certain movements, what, at first glance, can be regarded as increasing
stress on the cerebral cortex (memory), in actual fact over time (two or three
classes) locomotor (movement) the association will help to easily learn and
update training material. Another important aspect of this approach is the
strengthening of emotionally positive atmosphere of training sessions. Because, after speaking terms and keywords, that are accompanied with associative motor action, students more intensively produces hormones endorphins, enhanced production of which is provided by the
increase in the number of motor actions. Кроме того, на начальном этапе выполнение действий студентами может вызвать
у них улыбку, что не стоит расценивать как невосприятие ими применяемого
новшества In addition, at the initial stage of execution of actions by students can make them smile, that should not be
viewed as a rejection of applied innovation by them, since positive emotions in this case are perfectly
justified, because the proposed form of organization of training is used in relation to students for the
first time.
The increase in the number of movements during lectures
(to increase the effect of "active rest") is provided by repetition (conclusion)
of training material, which, in
our opinion, should be done every 15-20 minutes. In such a way, at the conclusion of the above, teacher together with the
students (at the request of the teacher) repeat that movement, which from the very beginning was performed with the pronunciation
of terms and keywords. In order, for
mental unloading occurred more efficiently, целесообразно так же после
очередного подведения итогов изложенного учебного материала применять движения
динамического характера
so appropriate after the next summarizing the results of presented educational material to apply motions of the
dynamic nature, that,
in specific way can be achieved through such exercises as:
а) imitation of climbing on conditional rope to unload the muscles of the spine
column (sitting at the desk,
the student performs movements by hands as if to go up the rope, trying
maximum stretch and relax alternately back muscles, i.e. left-to-right side of
the longitudinal muscles of the back); b) simulation of transmission through the top and sides of the conventional
printed ball to a student who is behind (that is, performing turns to the sides and subsidence to back) with the voltage of the
longitudinal muscles of the back and so on. For increasing positive emotional atmosphere in the class you can
also perform exercises, which include the clapping of hands, respectively of
rhythm given by a teacher (starting position-hands forward, performs the rhythmic clapping of hands, gradually lifting
up hands, then
performs several few loud claps, relaxation of the hands and their gradual lowering on the desk).
Let’s note, that
the application of the proposed forms of
organization of training must obligatorily sugges good attitude of
the teacher as to the entire team as a whole and to each student individually. There
is no way to hope on the result in the specified application form under the
authoritarian style of the teacher, and
also while being forced students to repeat movements. In this
case, the proposed lecture not only will not give the expected result, but on
the contrary, will be arouse in students resentment, negative emotions, etc. When
selecting a motor actions, which must associated key words and
terms, it is also important to remember that they should be the amplitude, but
not excessively (that would allow to perform them and do not interfere with the
friends that are close), at the same time
they must be expressive and interesting, and most importantly
those that cause necessary for the association to each individual keyword or term. It should be noted that in the course of a single lecture classes
is not advisable to learn more then 7-10
new movements, as it can increase the load on the
cerebral cortex (memory). With a good absorption of the required number of
movements (for example, 3-4
classes), it can be 25-45 movements, the teacher can sometimes perform familiar to students of motor actions, not pronouncing the term, which characterizes his name or even its content if the term is familiar to students and it is not difficult. In this case in students, firstly, better includes mechanisms that are
responsible for attention, secondly, more efficiently absorbed educational
material through active recreation.
Thus, the use of motor actions that characterize the key
word (or term) causing the respective associations, and also the inclusion of muscle
memory, will help remembering complex words over a long period of time after
their studies, that provides not only short-term, but what important, long-term memory. The
performance of motor actions in class will also contribute to the preservation
of mental and physical health of students at the expense of avoid mental fatigue. Finally, the use of
lecture-locomotor association promote the increasing interest of future teachers for learning, in
particular facilitating the assimilation of complex scientific information.
IV. Conclusions. Thus, the use of motor actions, which
characterize the key word (or term), causing the corresponding associations, and also the inclusion of muscle
memory, will help with remembering of complex words over a long period of time after their
studies, that provides not only short-term, but, that is important, long-term memory. The performance of
motor actions in class will also contribute to the preservation of mental and
physical health of students due to avoid mental overfatigue. Finally, the use of
lecture-locomotor association
promote
increasing of the interest of future teachers to learning,
in particular facilitating the assimilation of complex for the perception of scientific information.
