Individual training and what it is

Individual training ... Modern parents, probably not once had to meet this term in Western magazines, television programs or films. On the basis of a personally developed program, many outstanding scientists, athletes and politicians of the world once engaged in? It is interesting, tempting and, most likely, promising, is not it?

And what happens in our country? Is it possible?

Section 1. Individual training in Russia .

In accordance with the indicators of the Department of Public Policy of the Russian Federation, currently only 85,000 children are in our country on individual education, including about 45,000 disabled people.

The number of lessons depends on the class in which the training is conducted, and for one week, and in total is:

• For 1-4 grades - about 8 hours;
• For grades 5-8 - 10 hours;
• For the 9th - 11 hours;
• For 10-11-x - not more than 12 hours.

The current legislation of the Russian Federation allows persons who have reached the school age to receive the necessary education both in educational institutions and at home. As a rule, the reason for registration of this type of knowledge acquisition can be problems related to the mental, or physical health of the child.

Although in principle parents can express the desire to teach their child on their own, or to involve private educators in the educational process. This does not contradict the law on education.

Section 2. Individual training . Main advantages.

1. The pace of mastering knowledge. From this point of view, the undisputed leader is So-called home schooling, tk. The curriculum is adjusted individually for each student. Someone takes possession of all the necessary material in a fairly short time, and someone will need extra time. Individual education in the school is almost impossible to arrange, because The teacher should give a sufficient and equal amount of time to each student.
2. Taking into account the abilities of the child. Attaching to the tutor's child, parents can be sure that a highly qualified specialist will see the abilities of his ward on time. As a result, a little mathematician will be able to more deeply study, say, physics, mathematics or chemistry, and the humanities will continue the educational process, focusing on literature and foreign languages.
3. Favorable working environment. At home, it is possible, if desired, to create special conditions for education, namely, to make school furniture on an individual project, to prepare a set of all necessary literature (reference books, encyclopedias, dictionaries). If the baby wakes up very early and in the morning is more active, do it in the morning, and the child-owl will benefit more from the evening hours.
4. Psychological aspect. An emotional child will no longer need to experience additional stress each time, due to the addiction to the new environment, the team, and the environment as a whole.
5. Necessary measure. It often happens that home learning becomes not just a whim of modern parents, but the only way to get an education. Often, these kids are not allowed to attend school. And if parents can learn with reading, writing and mathematics at the initial stages independently, then individual instruction in English or any other foreign language, in case, of course, if one of the relatives is not a qualified teacher in this industry, requires certain services Specialists.

Section 3. Individual training. Disadvantages of this type of training.

1. Socialization. According to psychologists, with a home -based form of education a child often lacks communication with his peers. it Subsequently may affect its adaptation in society.
2. Healthy competition. The so-called "home" student, as a rule, receives a huge amount of information, and the learning process takes place in a cozy home environment. But from the point of view of psychology, the child very quickly gets used to the fact that he gets all the attention of the teacher, and as a result he lags far behind in terms of psychological growing up.
3. Objectivity of evaluation. Of course, in school education there is a very likely danger that your child will simply remain unnoticed in the crowd of classmates, and his talents and abilities will not be fully disclosed. But with home schooling everything is quite different. Sometimes the child displays excessive indulgence or, on the contrary, excessive severity.
4. The material side of the issue. In most cases, schooling in our country is still free. The costs, of course, can be, but all of them, as a rule, boil down to paying for textbooks, food, and rare financial charges for repairs or gifts to teachers. Home-based education requires the involvement of private educators whose services can be badly hit by the budget.
