training programs for the development of first-graders
Types of programs for elementary school
Traditional and developmental education systems are distinguished in pedagogy:
- Traditional. Training is built according to the scheme "we study - we fix - we check." This system is used both in the beginning and in subsequent classes. nine0026
- Developmental. Training is built according to the scheme "we study - we independently draw conclusions - we practice." As a rule, it is aimed exclusively at elementary grades and is not used in middle and high schools.
Each system has a variety of curricula. Consider the most popular.

L.V. Zankova
📌 Developmental curriculum for primary school
Fundamentals of the theory - works of L.
S. Vygotsky. According to the program, one should not be afraid of mistakes - they learn from them. The schoolboy jumps above his head, but his own, and not someone else's. Disadvantages of the system: a fast pace of learning and a high level of difficulty is not suitable for every child. nine0005 D.B. System Elkonin - V.V. Davydova
📌 Developing curriculum for elementary grades
Daniil Elkonin and Vasily Davydov are Soviet scientists. According to their program, students in elementary school are not graded, it is assumed that students must independently assess the level of their knowledge.
Most of the parents in this program are afraid that due to the lack of grades, the level of knowledge will be low. Elkonin and Davydov assure that learning is more effective if the student is not demotivated by subjective scores. By the way, elementary Waldorf schools adhere to a similar methodology - children are not graded there either. nine0005
<
> School of Russia
📌 Traditional primary school education program
School of Russia is the most popular education program.
Complies with GEF and is used in most schools. The main goal is spiritual and moral development, which is formed in specially created conditions. The main vector is aimed at the adaptation of the child in the team. Training under the program is aimed at adaptation in a team, accumulation of knowledge and skills for further training. But feedback from parents is not always positive. Many note that the world around us can be greatly reduced, and the four-year program is too long. nine0005
<
> "RITM"
📌 Traditional curriculum for elementary grades
"RITM" stands for development, individuality, creativity, thinking. The program combines the traditions of the national elementary school K.D. Ushinsky and the achievements of modern psychology and methodology. The features of this curriculum in the primary grades of the school are variability and an extensive information and educational environment. It is believed that every child should learn to think creatively and independently, as well as to reveal their individuality.
The system consists of completed subject lines of textbooks, which are included in the federal list, except for the ABC and Literary Reading. nine0005 <
> "Primary school of the XXI century" (Vinogradova system)
📌 Traditional curriculum for elementary grades
N.F. Vinogradova is a doctor of pedagogical sciences and the creator of a training program for first grade children. The program is aimed at strong students. To pass it successfully, you need to come to the first class with a certain level of preparation. This program is based on the theory of L.S. Vygotsky, as well as the ideas of Elkonin and Davydov. UMK is included in the Federal list of textbooks recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science. It is believed that the goal of a teacher working on this teaching method is to teach a child to learn. nine0005
“Perspektiva”
📌 Traditional curriculum for elementary grades
The author of this program for primary grades is Lyudmila Peterson, a Russian teacher, mathematician and doctor of pedagogical sciences.
In addition to Perspektiva, she developed a popular mathematics course in Russia for preschool and school age. Peculiarities of WMC Peterson are personality education and spiritual and moral development. It is assumed that educational materials are structured so that the child's curiosity is not lost, but constantly nourished and turns into a need to learn new things. nine0005 "Harmony"
📌 Traditional primary school education program
The "Harmony" primary school educational program is based on two principles: humanization and developing education. A feature of the EMC is the dynamic assessment of the success of each child, which is reflected in the portfolio. The concept of the program was proposed by Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences N.B. Istomin. For successful learning under the program, the child must already be able to actively communicate, think logically, and have an objective interest in knowledge. Preparation of preschoolers for "Harmony" falls on the shoulders of parents.
nine0005 “School 2100”
📌 Traditional primary school education program
This primary education program is called “the concept of the educational system” because it has not one, but a whole team of authors: Sh.A. Amonashvili, A.A. Leontiev, L.G. Peterson, R.N. Buneev, E.V. Buneeva and others. It is based on the “pedagogy of common sense” by A.A. Leontiev. The features of the program are called continuity at all stages of education from kindergarten to university, consistency in the use of acquired knowledge and continuity in the sequence of educational tasks. Work on the program continues at the middle level. As a result, the authors see a child capable of self-development, owning a picture of the world and bearing responsibility for himself and his education. nine0005
"Planet of Knowledge"
📌 Traditional primary school education program
The fundamental principle of this program is variability.
TMC consists of two parts: - all schoolchildren should know the basic level;
- difficult level consists of non-standard tasks for curious students who want to increase their knowledge.
According to this elementary school program, the student must strive for new knowledge and enjoy learning. To do this, you need to create comfortable conditions. Therefore, the first year of study is considered adaptive - young students are not overloaded and are allowed to smoothly join the process. The advantages of the program are the variability of levels and tasks, the education of the desire to acquire new knowledge. The disadvantages include preschool education - the child must be able to read and count. nine0005
Promising Elementary School
📌 Traditional Primary Education Program
This primary school program was developed in 2006 along with the first GEF. As in the Planet of Knowledge program, the entire learning process is based on the child's desire to learn.
For simplicity of reasoning, constant book characters were invented - Misha and Masha. So children in elementary school learn the material visually. <
