The reform of modern education involves an individual approach to each child. Our society is moving from faceless learning to a quality process that takes into account not only the physical and intellectual abilities of the student, but also his individual characteristics. In this regard, to create favorable conditions for development, an important role is played by the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student.
If earlier a document by which it was possible to obtain brief information about a child included only general information, today it has become more informative and detailed.
An example of the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of a student
The following items should be included in this document:
- general information (name, exact birth information, school, class, address of residence);
- obligatory characteristic of the family (belonging to one of the categories of accounting);
- information about the temperament of the student (in this paragraph, the psychologist can indicate by what methods this or that category was determined);
- individuality of character (volitional qualities, degree of organization);
- development (intellectual capabilities, features of speech and memory, level of emotionality, ability to fulfill oneself);
- mutual relations in the team (it is necessary to attach the results of sociometry, without which the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student would not be complete);
- attitude to the family, peers, teachers, trainers (if there were conflicts, then indicate the reasons);
- attitude to oneself (level of self-esteem and degree of criticality);
- achievements of the child (if the student has a personal portfolio, then this item can be omitted, a description of participation in school and class events is sufficient);
- saturation of free time (listing of out-of-school organizations that the student attends and responsibilities in the family); this paragraph, the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student reflects the objectivity of the content;
- recommendations (this item should include the results obtained in the course of psychological research, as well as the conclusions of the specialists who accompanied the educational process of the child);
- the reliability of the document (the date of compilation, the signature of the director, class teacher and representatives of the psychological service, the seal of the educational institution is mandatory).
Conclusion
The approximate psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student presented in this article can be supplemented with other information in accordance with the specialization of the school. Due to age-related features, some items can be eliminated, as they will not be able to fully reflect the entire personality of the child. Typically, a child care institution develops its own provision on the content of such a document. The psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the student must be provided to parents so that they can also take part in choosing the further development path of their child.
