Experience of holding a scientific-practical conference for junior schoolchildren using the example of class management by Lyudmila Gennadievna Pyatkina. Preparation of junior schoolchildren for the III scientific and practical conference

On Tuesday, March 17, the entire elementary school was excited. After all, we have started a scientific-practical conference. The topics of all 9 speakers were known to everyone a couple of months ago and this made it even more intriguing. If you look at the stated topics, it will be clear that the time allotted for the conference is two hours. flew by very quickly. Someone who came to this conference as a spectator came to support their friends and classmates; someone came to listen and look at the result of work on a specific topic that previously interested him; someone came to share the success with the winner. The motives are different, but the goal of all those who gathered was the same.

It is very good that the draw for the performance between young researchers was carried out in advance, a week in advance, and everyone knew exactly when their “finest hour” was. This allowed the speakers not only to prepare for their speech, but also to listen to others. After all, at the end of the conference, all spectators and participants had to vote for the best performance in order to determine the audience award.

Meet our researchers:

So, the jury is ready to work, parting words have been said - go ahead!

Gosha R. was the first to speak with the theme “The Many Faces of Mold.” The topic was covered in such detail and interestingly that after the speech the audience had many questions. Many guys did not know that mold can also be used for the benefit of humans. Gosha adequately answered all questions.

The second participant was 1st grade student Anush M. with the topic “National culinary traditions of Armenia. The sweetness of Gata.” Anush's performance left no one indifferent. Appearing on stage in a national Armenian costume, she gave reasons for choosing the topic, and briefly introduced Armenia as a country that it is impossible not to love. And then she showed us her video, which showed the entire process of preparing Gata, and Anush kneaded the dough, shaped it, baked it all herself. After the video, an elegant table appeared on the stage with a large dish filled to the top with delicious, fragrant Gata. At breakfast after the conference, Anush treated everyone - it was very tasty!

3rd grade student Seraphima G. presented her work “Amber Sun Stone”. Everyone is familiar with amber, but not many knew where it comes from, what types of amber exist, what benefits this stone brings and where it is used. After Seraphim’s speech, we now know how to distinguish natural from artificial amber.

Almost all the boys were looking forward to the performance of Alexey B., a 2nd grade student. After all, this topic is interesting to all boys and even some girls - “Life on the Moon. Is it possible?” Alexey began his speech by showing everyone the results of a survey in order to find out initial knowledge about the Moon. Then he focused on the characteristics of the Moon - size, location, speed. At the next stage, we heard about flights to the Moon - who, when, how many, on what, interesting facts. Approaching the main question of the study, “Is life on the Moon possible?” Alexey listed those indicators that are important for humans. Temperature, atmosphere, gravity, liquid water, soil.
Alexey came to the conclusion that human life on the Moon is possible! To do this, it is necessary to create the following conditions: construction of bases, space suits, lunar rovers, growing Arabidopsis plants in special containers, releasing water and oxygen from the lunar soil.
Alexey also presented a drawing of a device that helps release water and oxygen from rigolith.
Alexey received a large number of questions, but I especially remember one - “Do you want to fly to the moon yourself?” The answer brought a smile to the faces of all the spectators and conference participants - “I would like to fly to the Moon, but left-handed people are not accepted as astronauts!”

The topic of the next speech was "An Ordinary Miracle. Salt." It was presented by 3rd grade student Daria Yu. Daria studied historical information about salt, composition and properties, conducted a survey, grew salt crystals at home on her own, and presented information about the dangers and benefits of salt for the human body.

After this performance there was a break, during which the audience not only moved around, but also had time to discuss what they had seen. And our Vanya managed to try on Erica’s confederate.

Goals:

• involving students in conducting scientific and experimental research;
• deepening theoretical and scientific-practical training of students;
• creating conditions for the realization of students’ creative abilities and stimulating research activities of students and teachers.

2nd student: Who will answer all our questions? Who will tell you about the things going on around you?

The Wise Owl appears.

– Hello guys. I am very glad to see you again in this hall. Do you, young friends, know who I am? ( children answer) Yes, that's right. I am the wise Owl, a symbol of the scientific and educational program for younger schoolchildren “I explore the world.” SLIDE 3.

Memory, logic, attention,
They are important in everyone's life.
Interesting sciences
You will always need them.

2nd student:

Am I smart enough?
learn everything about white light?
How many years does it take to study?
Maybe it's worth working on?
Maybe I should stop studying?

1st student:

The light will not converge like a wedge -
Should I be smart or not?
What to do next?
Who should I ask for advice?

SceneSLIDE 4

Owl: Do you see that roadside stone?
Anya: A stone is like a stone...ordinary.

FNG 10 Presenter: The conference has ended. The results have been summed up. But we are not saying goodbye to you and we hope that next year you will also take part in it and come to our school.

Hello.
On December 12 and 13, the Twentieth Scientific and Practical Conference was held at the Lyceum. The participation of children from our class in this event is, as always, mandatory and active. This year, 5 people participated at the school level and 1 person competed at the class level. For their work, the children tried to select topics that were relevant, modern, and interesting to themselves and their peers. Of course, the lion's share in the design of the work falls on the shoulders of the parents. They are a reliable rear, their help and support is a launching pad for the children’s future successes. Thank you very much to the parents for your help and support!
You can look into December last year And the year before last, to see who participated in this event and with what results.

1) Gleb Lesnov with work

“My first environmental experience: where does garbage come from and how to deal with it?”

Laureate work.

Objective of the project: determine the types and amounts of garbage produced by a family of three in two weeks and try to reduce its amount.

Tasks formulated taking into account the goals and look like this:

1. Study literature and Internet resources on the topic of the project.
2. Sort garbage waste into groups, weigh it, and enter the data into a table.
3. Analyze the packaging material collected from the family over the course of two weeks.
4. Conduct an experiment to reduce the use of packaging material by reducing thereby polluting the environment.
5. Try to find useful uses for things that we are used to throwing away, to give them a “second life”.
Hypothesis: Every family can realistically reduce the amount of household waste and garbage. Products created from unnecessary things completely replace similar ones created industrially.
Subject of study: contents of the trash can; what we throw away every day as unnecessary.

2) Artyom Chagaev with the work “One Hundred and One Tails”.

Prize-winning work (winner).

• Who are homeless animals?
• Causes of homeless animals.
• Ways to solve the problem of homeless animals in Russia and abroad.
• Solving the problem of homeless animals.

3) Liza Golubeva with her work “Phraseological Zoo”.

Language is called one of the most amazing weapons in the hands of humanity. However, you need to use it skillfully, having studied all its features and secrets. Even if we are fluent in literary language, it is always useful to think about how to make our speech richer and more expressive. Vocabulary is the main wealth of a language.

4) Dima Kondakov with the work “I’m twisting and turning, I want to study!”

Prize-winning work (winner).

The newfangled Hand Spinner trend appeared in Russia only in 2016, but has already

It has become a good tradition in our class to annually hold a class-wide scientific and practical conference “Seekers”. To date, 27 primary school students aged 9-10 years have already become its participants. The conference is held 1-2 times a week as part of the extracurricular activities program.

Preparations for the conference usually begin at the beginning of the academic year. The children, together with their parents, choose the topic of the upcoming report, determine the date of the presentation in a schedule specially developed for this scientific and practical conference, which allows them to visualize the timing of the conference and the relevance of the stated topics.

Purpose of the conference:

• to intensify the development of the intellectual and creative potential of a child of primary school age by identifying research abilities;
• involve students in conducting scientific and experimental research;
• expand the theoretical and practical knowledge base of students;
• creating conditions for the realization of students’ creative abilities.

Tasks:

• promoting the development and dissemination of educational programs and pedagogical technologies for conducting educational research by primary schoolchildren;
• supporting the development of children's creative research activity;
• stimulating interest in fundamental and applied sciences among younger schoolchildren; familiarization with the scientific picture of the world;
• promotion of methodological developments on the organization and content of educational and research work of junior schoolchildren.

The scientific and practical conference is an important stage in students’ research activities: students learn to expand their horizons, work with literature, colorfully design a project, visually present the practical part of a report, and compete with each other. Students gain their first experience of public speaking not only in front of their classmates, but also in front of an unfamiliar audience in the presence of parents, teachers, students from other classes and school administration.

The themes of children's work are varied. They cover all aspects of their life (family) hobbies: “Magic plasticine”, “River energy. From the river to the light bulb”, “Chocolate”, “Coca-Cola. Harm or benefit?”, “Crystals”, “LEDs”, “Linseed oil - a source of children’s health”, “Volcanoes”, “Super-maneuverable fighter SU-37”, “Diapers”, “Cell phone in the life of a schoolchild”, “Dwellings of different peoples”, “Caskets”, “Sailboats”, etc.

The practical part of the young researchers’ report is of particular interest to everyone without exception (its active discussion among classmates sometimes occurs long before the upcoming presentation). The ability to clearly demonstrate your hypothesis, technical solution and scientific observation in practice is no less important than theoretical knowledge on the chosen topic.

Sometimes a seemingly simple topic gives rise to an endless stream of questions and discussions from students, prompting them to develop the topic and expand the scope of the report.

For example, the benefits of a cell phone (like Coca-Cola) in the modern world do not raise any doubts among children (compact, multifunctional, affordable; sweet, fizzy, alluring drink). However, the given examples of scientific research on the adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation emanating from the telephone (as well as the ingredients of Coca-Cola) on the human body divided the class into two camps - “opponents” and “supporters”. And only the establishment of some rules of the “golden mean” made it possible to reach a consensus. But the topic of the report on human use of water energy in past centuries and the present, as well as the demonstration of experience, gave rise to a lot of questions: how many power plants are there in the world? which one is the biggest? What made the light bulb go on in your experience? how much power does it have? Where in the world are there still water wheels?

Perhaps the most important positive (pedagogical) result of such project research is that the students present as listeners certainly express a desire to become participants in the conference, actively involving parents and friends in this process.

The ability of parents to support the child’s initiative in a timely manner, despite their busyness or lack of knowledge of a computer program, to show interest, give practical advice, plan work, direct general creative efforts to the result - all this is sometimes valued much more by the child than a place taken or a prize received.

Despite the fact that the time allotted for each participant to speak is 10-15 minutes, strict adherence to this rule is not mandatory, because the child’s tension and excitement often become obvious. And this approach has more than once justified itself with a fascinating report and a desire to participate in the conference again.

Members of the jury, as well as those responsible for the preparation and conduct of the scientific and practical conference, are the proactive parents of the class. Their role is not limited to just refereeing. Small essays and articles about the performance of each conference participant and bright photographs that appear in the classroom corner the very next day do not leave any student indifferent and create a spirit of competition for future participants ( appendix 1: essays about the conference). Based on the results of the presentation, all conference participants receive certificates and valuable prizes, encouraging them to new research and experiments.

Participants of the class conference were repeatedly awarded diplomas as winners of the scientific and practical conference at the city and regional levels. For example, the presentations of student Aleksey Bizyaev for three years (2013-2015) were awarded diplomas from the winner of the regional full-time and correspondence school for young researchers “Stimul” and the school scientific society “Seekers” ( Appendix 2: diplomas; Appendix 3: presentation and abstract).

In our time of rapidly changing standards, favorable conditions for student research activities should be created in primary school. Holding a scientific and practical conference helps to identify gifted children, develops independence, individual creative interests and abilities of students of different ages, creates a sense of responsibility for the assigned work, helps to understand the practical significance of the work done and make sure of its relevance, and opens up the prospect of intellectual growth for the student.

What is a scientific conference, and what conferences are there for elementary school students? How to prepare and take part in such a conference?

A scientific and practical conference for schoolchildren differs from an Olympiad. In fact, this is the students’ first scientific work. If you studied at a university, then you know that there is a thesis, in which you not only need to understand the topic, write 100 pages of analysis, but also carry out the practical part, your research. So the conference involves your own research, which is carried out by a student, and not just an abstract. During the conference, you can study animals and plants, collect samples and compare them, conduct experiments, simulate devices and structures, conduct surveys and draw conclusions on them, work with control groups. It is clear that a junior schoolchild needs help; he needs to learn how to conduct experiments, correctly record the results, and make diagrams. But this experience is extremely valuable. Children who participate in conferences from elementary school, by high school are able to speak long and clearly on a given topic, defend their position, answer tricky questions, conduct experiments, draw conclusions, analyze material, compare different points of view and search for the truth, work with large amounts of information, convince opponents with the help of arguments.

There are far fewer conferences for elementary school students than for older students, but they exist and are worth participating in.

Conference "We and the Biosphere" on Vorobyovy Gory - registration until January 15, submission of works until February 10, defense of works in April.
