Pedagogy cooperation as a scientific field with their theses and principles took shape thanks to teacher in the Soviet perestroika 1980s, however, promoted by its founders the idea of respect, cooperation on equal sounded at various times by various thinkers and public figures, among them - J.J.Rousseau, Janusz Korczak, KDUshinsky and many others.
Yet the concept of cooperation, which offered Simon L. Soloveitchik with like-minded, much wider than the joint activity of teacher and student.Teacher cooperation within the school should be carried out at all levels, including at the level of teacher-teacher and teacher-parents.After all, the learning process can not be carried out without affecting the entire school system and the participation of parents whose parenting style may be quite different.
Education Cooperation its main provision is relevant to the student as an equal, free personality.Her followers say that education, like education, should be based not on the unilateral actions of the teacher to the student.Simon Soloveitchik was able to combine innovative teachers who hold different views on education, but united in the idea that Soviet pedagogy requires humanization.Among his followers, with whom in the "Teacher's newspaper" in 1986 theses were published a new scientific and practical direction were Sh.A.Amogashvili, SNLysenkova, BPand LANikitin, VFShatalov and others.
So, what the basic principles of cooperation operates pedagogy?It:
- proactively, focus on the zone of proximal development;
- principle of cooperation with the students of the teacher;
- coercion in educational and extra-curricular activities;
- organization of the material in blocks;
- use of keywords and core summaries, etc..
work towards teachers suggested a number of methods to significantly reduce the time required for the assimilation of the previous volume of the material while maintaining student interest and motivation.It was promoted and verbal and graphic form of the material, and an alternative approach to the assessment system, and attention to the creative abilities of the child.
Which school subjects and curricula applied pedagogy cooperation?The founders of this trend and developed their technique for elementary school, and middle managers.Originally proposed by FVShatalov and other educators basic scheme intended for the study of the exact sciences, but later there was the experience of creation and use of such supports and in the teaching of humanities and social sciences.
Pedagogy of cooperation has been criticized for excessive "pandering" to pupils and provide them to themselves, making it difficult to study in the conditions of a comprehensive school.This follows from the excessive, according to critics, the idealization of the child's nature.In addition, implementation of the pedagogical principles of cooperation requires the special skills of the teacher and they can not be implemented alone.To do this requires the participation of management, as well as the presence of like-minded team.
Summarizing, we can say that it is the teachers-innovators of the 1980s gave new impetus to the development of educational thought and methodology on the basis of their ideas continue to be developed and implemented today in schools and in the educational institutions of the following steps.Moreover, the principles of cooperation set forth today are becoming the norm for many of the educational process, irrespective of their attitude towards this area of science teaching.
