Education, work and creation: ways for developing technological education of schoolchildren in Russia

Keywords: creation, invention, metaphysics of technology, technological education, school.

Abstract

The authors touch upon the problem of the development of additional technological education in Russian schools by comparing it with the situation in Western countries. Aim: strong requirements for inventions of schoolchildren should be established, a clear sequence of their teaching in invention and creation should be developed. Methods: methodology for teaching schoolchildren to invent and create something that has not existed before in different age groups is presented; a patent for a utility model developed jointly with schoolchildren participating in the system of additional technological education in Lipetsk seem to be important results of this study. Results: the authors considered ways to improve the effectiveness of teaching schoolchildren to invent in the field of additional technological education, taking into account current problems and trends. The systematic training of schoolchildren from elementary grade to middle and senior grades normally gives a positive result during the formation of divergent thinking, which translates into the child's ability to generate a variety of ideas for improving technical objects and creation as such. Attracting the capabilities of enterprises to organize an authentic educational process is relevant, too, as long as the project activities are designed to form the skills of independent work, creative and research activities.
