Extracurricular activity program “Project activities in elementary school”
2. The implementation of the program is based on value guidelines and educational results
.
3. Value orientations of the organization of activities require a level assessment
in achieving the planned results.
4. Achievement of planned results is monitored within the internal assessment system: by a teacher, administration, psychologist.
5. The basis for assessing personal, meta-subject and subject
the results of mastering the program, the educational result are based on the methods proposed by A.G. Asmolov, N.A. Krivolapova, O.A. Kholodova.
Purpose of the program
: development of students’ cognitive abilities based on developmental activities.
Main goals
:
1) development of thinking in the process of forming the basic techniques of mental activity: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, classification, the ability to highlight the main thing, prove and disprove, draw simple conclusions;
2) development of language culture and the formation of speech skills: clearly and clearly express your thoughts, define concepts, draw conclusions, and convincingly prove your point of view;
3) development of cognitive activity and independent mental activity of students;
4) formation and development of communication skills: the ability to communicate and interact in a team, work in pairs, groups, respect the opinions of others, objectively evaluate one’s work and the activities of classmates;
5) developing skills in applying acquired knowledge and skills in the process of studying school disciplines and in practical activities
Thus, the fundamental objective of the program is precisely the development of cognitive abilities and general educational skills, and not the acquisition of any specific knowledge and skills.

II. Program content
Project method
– this is one of the personality-oriented technologies, which is based on the development of students’ cognitive skills, the ability to independently construct their knowledge, navigate the information space, and develop critical and creative thinking.
Project
is a set of actions specially organized by the teacher and independently performed by children to solve a subjectively significant problem for the student, culminating in the creation of a product and its presentation as part of an oral or written presentation.
The project method always involves solving a problem, which involves, on the one hand, the use of various methods, and on the other, the integration of knowledge and skills from various fields of science, engineering, technology, and creative fields.
The project method is based on the development of students’ cognitive skills, the ability to independently construct their knowledge, the ability to navigate the information space, and the development of critical thinking. The results of completed projects must be what is called “tangible”, i.e., if the problem is theoretical, then its specific solution, if practical, then a specific result, ready for implementation.
Extracurricular activities according to Federal State Educational Standards
Extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard: directions
The introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard forced us to reconsider not only the organization of the educational process, but also the extracurricular work of schoolchildren. The areas of extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard are designed to facilitate the effective assimilation by students of the main educational program, including optimizing the educational load, preparing students to solve everyday life problems, and creating an additional knowledge base.
Areas of extracurricular activities
According to the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, extracurricular activities at school should be organized in the main areas of personal development. This allows us to link the leisure activities of schoolchildren with the general educational process, ensure the construction of interdisciplinary connections, the development of supra-subject skills, and also allows us to combine the efforts of teachers in achieving educational goals.
The following areas of extracurricular activities are distinguished:
- general intellectual,
- sports and recreation,
- social,
- general cultural,
- spiritual and moral.
The goal of work in the general intellectual direction is the development of critical thinking, the ability to analyze information flow, the use of new methods of obtaining information, and broadening one’s horizons. At the same time, such tasks as the formation of a worldview, the study of scientific concepts and laws, familiarization with various types of human activity, and the identification of inclinations and interests are solved. The direction is implemented by analyzing various areas of life, conducting library lessons, subject weeks, round tables, excursions, clubs, business games, etc.
The sports and health direction is being introduced to instill in children the habits of a healthy lifestyle, their harmonious psychophysical development, and the formation of motivation to maintain health. Implementation methods include conducting educational work, informing about good and bad habits, and introducing schoolchildren to physical activity in its various manifestations.
The social direction is designed to develop social skills in schoolchildren, to acquaint them with the laws of social development, generally accepted social norms and attitudes. The objectives are to develop communication skills, a positive attitude towards work, responsibility and self-confidence. As part of this direction, students can also receive psychological and pedagogical support if necessary.
The general cultural direction involves increasing environmental literacy and instilling aesthetic values, developing the emotional sphere, creative abilities, and a sense of beauty. The work is carried out through the implementation of various forms of interaction with nature, the organization of exhibitions of children's drawings, competitions, and thematic classes.
The spiritual and moral direction is the education of patriotic feelings, introducing children to humanistic values. Activities such as studying national culture, history and nature, and conducting excursions are implemented.
The main directions of extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard in primary school
What are the features of extracurricular activities in elementary school? Let's consider this issue in each of the areas.
A general intellectual direction is the organization of events that promote the mental development of schoolchildren (competitions, olympiads, quizzes). Such events can be held both within schools and between schools. You can organize “Happy English”, “Folk Wisdom” circles, “Entertaining Grammar”, etc.
As part of the sports and recreational area of extracurricular activities in elementary schools, according to the Federal State Educational Standard, school-wide and interschool competitions are organized, and sports sections operate. The work focuses on developing motivation for physical education classes and introduces the basics of physical education.
The social direction is designed to develop social interaction skills in younger schoolchildren. This is realized by modeling various situations of interpersonal interaction, relations in the field of politics, economics, law, etc. The most effective form is socio-psychological training, which allows you to simulate almost any situation and choose the most effective solutions to the problem.
The main areas of extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard in elementary school include general cultural activities. It involves conducting excursions, visiting museums, theaters, watching films, organizing theater clubs, and conducting artistic reading classes. It is permissible to use forms of organizing leisure time that are used in spiritual, moral and general intellectual directions.
The spiritual and moral direction is implemented in such forms as conversations, discussions, seminars, classes, debates on religious and political topics. Excursions to nature can be organized in order to develop a caring attitude towards it.
Forms of implementation of extracurricular activities in primary school
The areas of extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard in primary school will be as follows:
- spiritual and moral,
- physical education, sports and recreation,
- social,
- general intellectual,
- general cultural.
Let us consider in more detail the forms of extracurricular work in basic school in the following areas:
- General intellectual activities include library lessons, subject weeks, Olympiads, business and role-playing games, excursions, conferences, competitions, Olympiads, and development of projects based on lessons.
- Sports and recreation: hikes, excursions, outdoor games, “Fun Starts”, “Health Days”, school, district, republican sports competitions, as well as conversations on health, the use of physical education minutes and game moments in the classroom.
- Social: targeted walks, excursions, observations, experiments, role-playing games, conversations, creative competitions and promotions, workshops, excursions, conversations, participation in various events, project development.
- General cultural: participation in competitions, travel games, role-playing games, excursions, conversations.
- Spiritual and moral: holding theater and museum days, exhibitions of drawings, crafts, organizing excursions, thematic conversations, meetings, classes, participation in exhibitions of children's creativity and competitions at the school, city, and region levels.
Social design technology as a form of implementation of the social direction of “extracurricular activities”
The socialization of students is a special type of educational outcome, which provides for the transformation of the student into an active member of civil society, capable of self-determination based on their own values, and the development of projects for social transformation.
The social direction of extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard in primary school is the feasible and voluntary participation of children in improving social relations and the current situation in society. This activity requires personal initiative, interest in finding non-standard solutions, personal responsibility, and awareness of the risk of choice.
One of the most effective technologies used in this direction is social design technology, which includes the following stages:
- preparing schoolchildren to work on the project;
- problem selection;
- preparation of information;
- searching for your own solution to the problem;
- implementation of a well-thought-out plan by team members;
- preparation for project defense;
- presentation;
- reflection.
Organizing extracurricular activities for schoolchildren makes it possible to organize meaningful leisure time for children, broaden their horizons, connect theoretical and practical knowledge, develop social skills, and improve health.
How to plan extracurricular activities in elementary school?
What are the characteristics of extracurricular activities?
In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for Primary General Education, extracurricular activities are part of the main educational program of the school.
Extracurricular activities are organized in the areas of personal development:
- Sports and recreation
- Spiritual and moral
- Social
- General intellectual
- General cultural
Extracurricular activities are part of basic education, which is aimed at helping the teacher and the child in mastering a new type of educational activity, it helps to form learning motivation, helps expand the educational space, and creates additional conditions for the development of students.
“Extracurricular activities, on the one hand, are a good resource to fill gaps in knowledge, and on the other hand, they are a help for students who can and want to develop in different directions.”
Extracurricular activity course programs
The school forms courses for extracurricular activities based on the requests of participants in the educational process. At the end or beginning of the year, parent surveys are conducted to update the course schedule and content. But remember, requests may change in the new school year. This means that you will need to remove courses that are no longer relevant and add new ones.
Important! Developed and adopted programs of extracurricular activities courses must be correlated with the plan of extracurricular activities in areas, forms of organization and the number of hours allocated for their development.
In elementary school, up to 1,350 hours are allocated for studying extracurricular activities for all four years. Please note: there is no minimum threshold, only a maximum.
Objectives of extracurricular activities:
- ensure favorable adaptation of the child at school;
- optimize the teaching load;
- improve conditions for child development;
- take into account the age and individual characteristics of students.
When planning and organizing a program of extracurricular activities, it is important to consider that groups of children can be of different ages.
“Extracurricular activities can be implemented through separate programs compiled by teachers, through the forms of work of the class teacher, the organization of search, research, project activities, practical work - everything that there is not enough time for during lessons.”
You can select and use extracurricular activities to expand the range of subjects studied, but it is important to understand that the classroom load should occupy no more than 50% of the total time. And other formats must be planned - Olympiads, quests, excursions, etc.
Project activities as part of extracurricular activities
A very acute moment is project activity in elementary school. Today it has become one of the most effective forms of implementing the plan for extracurricular activities according to the Federal State Educational Standard. An educational project allows you to perform independent work, combining several areas and subjects of activity.
It is impossible to complete a full-fledged project within the framework of a lesson, but giving a child a project to complete independently is also wrong - parents sometimes become too actively involved in the work. Advice: leave project activities within the school walls, but try to include them in your extracurricular activity plan.
