what are there and how to choose your own

Profile classes have long been entrenched in the school education system. This gives students the opportunity to study their favorite subject in more depth or prepare hard for entering a university. What profile classes are in schools and how to choose your own, we understand the article.

What are the profiles

By “profile” we mean a deeper study of certain subjects. That is, they allocate more hours. While the number of lessons in “non-core” subjects is reduced to a minimum. Only in order to master the necessary program.

The 2020 federal state educational standard specifies 4 main profiles, namely:

  1. natural and mathematical sciences;
  2. humanities;
  3. technology;
  4. socio-economic sciences.

In addition, there is also a fifth profile – general education. It is intended for those children who have not chosen any of the narrow directions.

The Federal State Educational Standard provides that the program of each profile should include not only Russian and foreign languages, literature, mathematics, social and natural sciences. But also physical education and life safety. But to what extent and which subjects to include in the curriculum is up to the school to decide. So, on the basis of the list of the Federal State Educational Standards, the school forms narrower specialized classes, namely:

Profile Items
Physics and Mathematics Physics, mathematics
Information Technology Computer science, mathematics, physics
Chemical-biological Biology, chemistry
Linguistic Russian language, literature, foreign language
Philological Russian language, literature
Humanitarian Russian language, literature, history, social studies
Socio-economic Social studies, geography

But there are other profiles. For example, engineering, culturological, pedagogical, legal, artistic and aesthetic, and even theatrical.

What to focus on when choosing a profile

OGE 9 results0006

The profile classes, of course, recruit students who have already shown good results in the subject. If in the certificate for the 9th grade the child has a triple in mathematics, he will most likely not be taken to the physical and mathematical profile.

Abilities and inclinations

If a child has pronounced abilities or inclinations, they will be helped to develop them in a profile class. For example, he is poorly versed in programming, but is fond of biology. Or “floats” in literature, but is strong in mathematics. In the profile class, you don’t have to waste time on subjects that are not given very well.

USE subjects

Choose a profile class, firstly, focusing on the subjects that the child is going to take. As a rule, preparation for the exam and the analysis of complex tasks in such classes is given more time. This means that it will be much easier to get high scores in exams.

Make sure the profile fits the child

For example, a child loves biology but is not very good at chemistry. In this case, the biological and chemical direction may not suit him. There is a risk that a teenager will fall behind classmates, start getting bad grades, and only lose motivation. In this case, it is better to choose a general education profile, and additionally study biology on your own or with a tutor.

Explore all options

Suppose a child wants to go to a specialized class to study literature in depth. And in your school there is only a humanitarian profile, where a history with social studies is attached to it. In this case, you can, for example, try to look for schools with a narrow philological profile. And vice versa, if a teenager does not decide in any way whether to enter a philologist or historian, a profile with a wider range of humanitarian subjects will suit him. There are even rarer specialized classes in schools. For example, in journalism, law, art. Perhaps the child needs one of them.

Estimate the upcoming workload

In profile classes, of course, they assign more homework and make higher demands on students. Not every child can easily withstand such educational and psychological stress. And if a student needs all the strength to “correspond” to the level of the profile, he can come to the exam physically and mentally exhausted. In this case, a regular class and additional classes with a tutor in the right subjects are more suitable.

8 problems of fifth grade: what parents and teachers of future five-graders should remember High school is also a huge stress for a child.

This is a way out of the comfort zone, in which there was one teacher, one class, understandable and familiar subjects and grades. Our blogger, teacher Anastasia Duryagina talks about the difficulties that fifth graders face and how to avoid them.

I’ll tell you one teacher’s secret: every year at the first summer meeting, elementary school teachers talk about the continuity of the transition of fourth graders to secondary school. For us, teachers, a fourth-grader is quite an independent adult child. But high school teachers look at them like a flock of frightened sparrows that rush in a panic along the long school corridors, knocking over careless teachers and students, trying to find the right room.

Of course, the transition to the fifth grade is not easy for any child. For four years he had one teacher who taught almost all the subjects herself, and therefore she knew that Petya and Kolya had a headache in the first lesson, so it’s better not to call them to the blackboard in the second lesson. And the child is used to it.

Fifth grade is a lot of different teachers. Everyone has their own character, their own requirements, their own office (and you also need to find it), and their first name and patronymic too (and they also need to be learned!).

The program of the fifth grade is built very humanely: a lot of time is devoted to repeating what was passed in elementary school. But exactly passed! (that is, learned and, even if partially forgotten, during the holidays).

If your child has not received solid knowledge in elementary school, then advice is to study in the summer before the 5th grade without fail. Do not dream that in the lessons, where there are 25-30 people in classes, for the repetition course in the fifth grade, the child will learn what he could not understand in four years.

Problems that I highlight as a teacher with 14 years of experience:

1. Most children come to fifth grade not independent . Parents no longer follow the lessons, or rather, do homework and so on. And the child is not used to the fact that he is not controlled and all responsibility now lies with him.

2. Many children ask for grades . In the beginning, they do this all the time and their kind teacher-mother will always go to meet the student. And in the fifth grade, bad grades immediately, and even in the diary! In the fifth grade, begging for grades is unacceptable. Therefore, I appeal to teachers of the initial level: do not allow such situations in your work.

3. The child does not read well . Many still come after elementary school with poor reading skills. It is a failure when a child in the fifth grade reads puk-puk, stammering because he was asked to read an excerpt from a paragraph. Here the work of the teacher and parents should be visible. I am deeply convinced that three people are involved in the educational process: the student-teacher and the parent. Therefore, reading remains an important aspect of learning.

4. Poor handwriting . This is a different story. Many people can’t write. I’m not talking about the beauty of the printed letter, but about clear handwriting, readable. Prescriptions will help correct, improve the situation, but no one pays attention to this, and neither does the child.

5. Low self-esteem . Many girls and boys come already with complexes from elementary school. If for a junior schoolchild (fourth grade) the leading activity is educational, then in the early teens (fifth grade), communication becomes the leading activity for schoolchildren.

A teenager, in comparison with a junior schoolchild, is more sensitive to the opinion of the team. If a younger student is satisfied with the teacher’s praise, then a teenager is more affected by public assessment. I believe that there is always something to praise a student for, that the teacher’s opinion is authoritative for him all four years of elementary school. All this lays the foundation of psychological communication.

When children are in the fifth grade, the motives that prompted them to study in the lower grades (interest in staying at school, the first results of labor) have already been satisfied, and new ones have not yet formed. Entries in notebooks and diaries become sloppy: diligence and accuracy disappear somewhere. The child, who could not be torn away from the book, now does not want to pick it up. Here comes one: to praise, cheer and motivate!

6. Increased pace of work in the fifth grade : Children who cannot write quickly fall behind. No one is expected here, you have to be on time. It is better to start training in the summer in rewriting the text for speed, reading for speed.

7. When moving to the fifth grade, the teacher’s individual approach to each student is violated . There is a kind of depersonalization of a schoolboy. There are only fifth graders in general. Each subject has a large workload and many students. He is simply not able to remember all the features of all students. Therefore, the child gets the impression that none of the teachers needs him. But it also happens that students feel it already in elementary school. It is important to organize an open conversation between parents, teacher and child. You may need a preventive conversation with a psychologist.

8. Children cannot work with text . They cannot find the main idea of ​​what they read. It is the job of an elementary school teacher to teach children this form of work, but many children come to the fifth grade without this skill. Hence the small vocabulary and the inability to describe, retell.

I really want all teachers to remember that children experience stress when they move to secondary school: it is very difficult for them. Any word spoken sharply can lay a complex in a child for life. You need to be careful if you are the class teacher of newly minted five-graders. After all, studying at school is not hard labor, not a camp, but a place where it is interesting, informative, where you can find friends, even in the face of a teacher.
