How to carry out self-education work for a preschool teacher from choosing a topic and drawing up a plan to reporting

Specifics of self-education of a methodologist, senior educator

The methodologist of a preschool institution is also engaged in self-improvement activities, so he must be well informed about all the latest developments in the field of preschool education. After all, for other teachers, a methodologist is a kind of expert in the field of what has been printed and published recently on preschool pedagogy. On store shelves you can now find a lot of literature that does not meet scientific requirements.

The methodologist, like all educators, must periodically improve his qualifications. Every year he works on a specific topic for which he draws up a corresponding plan. The goals, objectives of the activity, a list of specific aspects of self-improvement, and expected results are written there.

As for reporting on completed work, it is often formatted in the form of a presentation. The specialist can also prepare a report for presentation at the regional methodological association.

Assisting a preschool teacher in planning self-education work

Assisting the teacher in his self-improvement is one of the conditions for the successful operation of any preschool organization. Although the initiative should come, first of all, from the teacher himself, the assistance of the methodologist (or senior educator) also plays an important role in the issue of self-improvement. It helps solve complex issues or issues that interest a particular teacher.

The methodologist formulates a topic for self-education, identifies specific goals and objectives, organizes the teacher’s work for a certain period (sometimes for several years at once), assists in the phased implementation of the plan, and also helps evaluate the effectiveness of the activity.

Annual professional competitions are held for teachers

If it is difficult for a teacher to decide on a topic, the methodologist conducts individual conversations with him or, as an option, surveys. The methodologist constantly advises colleagues, offering the most relevant methodological sources.

The official title of the position of the methodologist is deputy head/director for educational and methodological work (senior educator/teacher). In most cases, the terms “methodologist” and “senior educator” are synonymous, but it happens that these are two separate positions in the team, and then the senior educator is responsible for part of the groups and reports to the methodologist. Until 1984, in Russia there was also the position of “educator-methodologist” with similar responsibilities.

In addition, the methodologist evaluates the activities of teachers by attending classes and other events related to the organization of preschool education (for example, walks, routine activities), and then helps to summarize the results of the work (arranges consultations for employees, makes a report at the teachers’ council, organizes open viewings).

Objectives of teacher self-education in accordance with federal state educational standards (FSES)

The essence of self-education is the ability to independently acquire new knowledge, as well as acquire skills within the framework of one’s profession.

Self-education of a preschool teacher involves solving problems such as:

• analysis of age characteristics of the group;
• identifying problems;
• introduction of the latest pedagogical developments into practical activities;
• organization of the educational process taking into account the development of technology and current requirements of society.

Forms of self-education for kindergarten teachers

Self-education of a preschool teacher is a multifaceted and diverse activity that is implemented in various forms. Let us highlight the main ones:

• work with modern regulatory documents related to various aspects of preschool education;
• studying methodological literature on your topic, including reading special magazines on the issues of educating preschool children (for example, “Preschool teacher”, “Preschool education”, “Child in kindergarten”, “Hoop”);
• mastering the latest pedagogical technologies, classical and innovative programs, getting acquainted with the best practices of other preschool institutions;
• personal self-improvement.

The preschool methodologist regularly holds pedagogical meetings (teacher councils), where all current issues related to the upbringing and education of children in this kindergarten are discussed. They need to be built in such a way that every teacher can learn something new and useful for their work. During the teachers' meeting, it is advisable not only to discuss theoretical issues, but also to conduct trainings and analyze each other's experience.

In addition, as part of teacher councils, a senior teacher can provide consultations to his colleagues on reviewing new teaching literature, familiarizing himself with regulations, and so on. Let us note that it is also possible to involve a speech therapist, a medical worker, as well as a child psychologist (if there is one in the children's institution) in such work.

Working in a kindergarten requires teamwork and creativity from teachers

Another form of self-improvement for teachers is a training seminar, which can be organized both within a kindergarten and at the level of a district methodological association. At such an event, educators train their teaching skills.

From time to time, all preschool specialists must undergo advanced training courses, which usually involve the preparation and defense of a final project. The decision to enroll in such courses and select a program that is relevant for a particular teacher is made jointly with the management. It is important that the educational institution conducting the courses has the appropriate license.

Open viewings are important for the self-education of a kindergarten teacher. They are useful both for the one conducting the lesson (the teacher demonstrates his own work) and for the audience (they borrow teaching experience, learn to analyze what they see).

Reporting documentation (workbook, folder)

The educator’s self-education is consistent with state regulations and involves maintaining certain documentation. The teacher starts a methodological folder where he collects useful articles on the chosen topic, interesting notes on educational activities, samples of fiction (if the topic is related to it), riddles, photographs from events, and so on.

A music director who has mastered additional functionality can also become a methodologist.

Be sure to develop a work plan for self-education for the year: this helps to optimally organize future activities and bring them into a coherent system. When drawing up a plan, first the topic is written, then an explanatory note, which justifies the relevance of the topic. Then all the annual work is outlined: familiarization with current methodological literature, activities with children, as well as parents. Please note that at the end of the school year (May), the teacher also reflects his experience in writing by preparing a special folder. The teacher places there photocopies of articles, consultations, descriptions of experiments, notes from classes with preschoolers, and so on.

Let us note that self-education should not be perceived only as filling out notebooks, plans, preparing consultations, designing stands, etc. First of all, this is the stimulation of professional growth, as well as personal development of the teacher.

In addition to the annual plan, there is also a long-term plan for education, which outlines work on a specific topic for several years in advance.

The teacher’s responsibilities also include regularly filling out a notebook for his self-education. Notes are made there about the events carried out:

• with students (for example, direct educational activities);
• with parents (preparing leaflets, stands, preparing consultations);
• with teachers (report at the teachers' meeting, etc.);
• about other components of the self-education process (for example, the teacher read a certain book on the topic, purchased a visual aid, attended an event).

Note that such a notebook is usually filled out in any form, for example, with a table.

The most necessary and most difficult thing for a family and for a country is to educate a person.

Moral and patriotic education of children is one of the main tasks of a preschool educational institution. The feeling of the Motherland... It begins in a child with the attitude towards the family, towards the closest people - mother, father, grandmother, grandfather.
