there is talk that in may, elementary school students will cease to learn. Is it really so? Do you plan to terminate the academic year for high school students?
Sergey Zlobin: No, at the moment we do not plan early end of the school year for any age category of schoolchildren.
are there any Known date of expiration of the period of distance learning in schools and universities?
Sergey Zlobin: universities distance learning will continue until the end of the school year. In schools the terms are defined by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation till April 30. The decision to extend the current regime or the return of children to schools will be made this week. Everything will depend on the epidemiological situation.
In many families, especially large families, there is a shortage of computers. Is there a program to ensure students have laptops, tablets?
Sergey Zlobin: Thanks to the active participation of the region in the national project “Education” (our region last year won nine out of ten Federal projects), we were able to buy a large number of laptops and tablets. All this equipment nearly a thousand units were provided to children who need it. Of course, this is not enough: our need for laptops and tablets today – at the level of two thousand.
we Also are actively involved in the project, realized in Nizhny Novgorod region of ANO “Agency for strategic initiatives”: studied the demand of all our educational institutions – and not only in laptops and tablets. The fact that we have a small number of families experiencing problems connecting to the Internet. We have held talks with Rostelecom, MTS and consider the possibility of their participation in the project.
How to organize remote learning in rural areas? Often there are no conditions, so the teachers are forced to ask a lot of homework and new topics parents explain to children themselves.
Sergey Zlobin: this is not quite the same situation. In the Nizhny Novgorod region together with branches, there are about nine schools. We carefully approached the learning format in each of them. Of these nine schools, 77 per cent moved to remote format, in 22 percent of organized blended learning – that is part of the children studying full-time and part – remotely. And only one percent of educational institutions with small enrollment – no more than 21 children, study full-time. In these schools we have kept exclusively to full-time training, because in localities where they are located, there is no way to go to distance format due to the lack of cellular communication.
If we talk about children, in distance education we have 93 numbers ofin school students; seven percent of children are either full-time or in a mixed form.
is it Possible to cancel the creation of presentations by students, e.g. physical education, technology, fine arts and other subjects? Children for a few hours continuously sitting at the computer, which has a detrimental impact on health.
Sergey Zlobin: Yes, we recommended that schools eliminate such time-consuming formats validation or assimilation of the material. Besides, for most children, if we take physical education or music is much easier to record video using a smartphone and thus show how well they completed the exercise, read a poem or sang a song.
why the need For remote physical education lessons, if they represent a complete fiction?
Sergey Zlobin: will Not agree with this. Now the parent group is filled with children’s videos where the guys together doing morning exercises. Modern technologies allow to show it is quite easy and fun. Exercise, of course, does not involve classes only in the gym, the theory is one of the elements of the training subject. However, teaching physical education in distance should not be confined to writing essays.
Note that at the moment we are considering the possibility of certifying children on such subjects as music, physical culture, life safety, and world culture, on the basis of assessments in eight months.
Why is the cost of remote services in municipal educational institutions is no different from that of normal classes?
Sergey Zlobin: of Course, paid services – is a bilateral movement between an educational organization and a service recipient. But all that is beyond the scope of the Federal state educational standard, subject to the format of non-working days. Therefore, we would like to see such classes have been suspended until until the ability to work in the usual format.
As students will have to pass the session and the graduation?
Sergey Zlobin: Universities are the powers of the Ministry of science and higher education of the Russian Federation. As far as we know, they are allowed to use e-learning and distance learning technologies for the state proficiency tests. However, it is necessary to ensure identification of student to teacher was sure that passes the exam or that person. Our universities are actively involved in this work. In colleges and colleges interim assessment is also conducted in distance learning format. A key recommendation in this regard – not to conduct a final assessment at public meetings of the examination�� commissions.
this year will conduct the exam?
Sergey Zlobin: exam is conducted in the same procedure as in previous years. The changes here will not, except for the timing. The beginning of the exams rescheduled for 8 June. The class will be for 12-15 people.
Planned opening of school from September 1, 2020 in the residential complex “Oka beach” in the village News? It will transfer children currently enrolled in Doskinskaya school? Will the new school organized by sections outside the classroom?
Sergey Zlobin: a School in the village of New items put into operation in December last year, its capacity is 550 seats, and now the issue of the transfer of the school in connection with the annexation of the village to Nizhny Novgorod. Any difficulties we have, the school will be launched on 1 September 2020. I’m sure the administration will provide the so-called “second schedule” in school, the child after school had the opportunity to be engaged in mugs and sections.
When will the camps?
Sergey Zlobin: While it is known only that until June 1, their activity is completely suspended. The change is not completed, and not held. But we have included our camps in the list of companies and organizations that are not subject to the regime of non-working days. Now they are preparing for the summer recreation campaign, eliminate the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor, Gospozharnadzora; in remote mode, there is a preparation of counselors and educators. So when will be allowed to open a health change, we will be fully ready for it.
this year will be allocated permits in kindergartens? This usually occurred after the may holidays, and now?
Sergey Zlobin: kindergartens Manning we went in February-March: more than 90 percent of parents have received referrals or vouchers. Sooner after receiving them had to be in a certain period to provide a medical certificate and personally deliver a ticket to the educational organization. Now we were allowed to do this online. In addition, no medical certificate can not become a reason for refusal because to guide children and parents in the hospital now would be wrong. Direct enrollment in preschool educational organizations, I think, will take place after the removal of the regime of self-isolation.
are There any documents that regulate the amount of time that students, students can spend at a computer during remote lessons?
Sergey Zlobin: Students – adults and for each age category of students there are guidelines at the time of a continuous expansion of online broadcasting or interactive sessions. For different age��ists his own, but the average is from 15 to 25 minutes. In addition, we recommend changing activities. The structure of the lesson should consist of several parts. First – a child’s work through a digital platform or online with the teacher for an explanation or introduction to the new material. Next, we recommend you to consult the textbook or other materials for assimilation and validation of the received knowledge. Then monitoring knowledge: a quiz or other review work. The last block – online-consultation that the teacher could see whether the child has any difficulties or questions.
are There guidelines for parents on physical activity of children during the isolation?
Sergey Zlobin: connect to these parents is an interesting idea. However, talk about lack of physical activity in the period of self-isolation is impossible. I have noted that many flash mobs, where children make their breaks or begin a lesson with physical flexing.
is There any virtual office emotional discharge, which is usually found in schools?
Sergey Zlobin: We assumed that distance learning will be a challenging stage in psycho-social sense. For this reason, we have created and work hot line psychological support for children, parents and teachers. Their numbers are listed below.
Somehow changed the administrative burden on teachers? What is the role now allotted to the Director and head teacher of the school?
Sergey Zlobin: Reporting became less, but the volume of jobs, which fell on the shoulders of teachers has increased significantly. In fact, now the teacher works individually with each child. This is especially true of teachers working in different Parallels. Let’s just say the teacher became members of students ‘ families. Director and head teacher is the moderators first of all educational streams: economic activity left by the wayside. It is an open front office for the entire number of parents who at any time can ask a question or ask for some suggestion or recommendation.
will experience that gets education, schools, teachers, children, learning on the remote control, to use in the future to optimize any process? Would it make sense to keep small schools or they are cheaper to provide good gadgets and mobile phones?
Sergey Zlobin: We plan to use this experience to improve the efficiency of processes. Now we have already launched and tested the remote platform centre for gifted children. This will give the opportunity to guys who want to solve puzzles of a higher level, to connect and try to work with the winners of the competitions, show jumpingowls, with teachers who deal with gifted children. In addition, during this period we have developed fruitful cooperation with a strong Federal players. We were able in two regions of the country to attract free-of-charge digital platform “Foxford” with a very high level of problems in physics, mathematics, computer science. The inability to conduct full-time classes in “Quantonium” allowed to form a block of video courses and interactive sessions on robotics, computer design. But in small schools, we in any case do not replace face-to-face training in remote format. No matter what kind of digital space we may say, the main role in the learning process always is given to teacher who helps the child to build his educational path.
To work with digital technologies we need certain skills. Are there any teacher training?
Sergey Zlobin: With a certain degree of pride I can say that last year alone intensive courses in the “figure” took place two thousand teachers of the Nizhny Novgorod region. In other words, we are already in 2019 has developed a “core” teachers who were able to effortlessly integrate into distance learning, working with digital platforms and become mentors for their colleagues. About three thousand teachers have been trained on introductory courses in the digital learning environment. We planned that this year they will master the second stage, but it turned out that they have runs in real time. Now in distance learning involved 18.5 thousand teachers, and about 6.5 thousand of them are conducted at home. This year we will revise the program taking into account current practice, but the training of teachers in these areas will continue.
Phone numbers of hot lines on issues of distance learning: 8(831) 215-04-66; 8(831) 326-74-48; 8(831) 599-22-20; 8(831) 915-56-69; 8(831) 217-01-00; 8(831) 213-55-11; 8(930) 667-40-30.
April 26, after the interview, the Governor said in his about the order of end of the school year. According to him, distance education in the region will continue. Thus for students in first through eighth grades will be completed early training in music, physical education, technology, OBZH, secular ethics. Ninth grade certificate for the subjects that are not included in the list of GIA-9. In tenth grade will complete the training in physical culture, technology, life safety, art and electives. The study of the core subjects will continue. For each of the graduate schools will form an individual plan of the items that he delivers in the quality of the exam. The academic year in Nizhny Novgorod region will end on may 22.
