Pagrindinių ugdymo vertybių formavimas gamtamokslinių tyrimų metu

LTVisas bendrasis ugdymas yra orientuotas į vaiką, jaunuolį jų poreikius ir gebėjimus. Mokykla padeda asmeniui maksimaliai išskleisti individualias kūrybos galias ir gebėjimus, patenkindama jo prigimtas reikmes: saviraiškos, meilės ir pagarbos, prasmės ir kūrybos, tvarkos ir darnos poreikius. Bendrasis ugdymas visų pirma grindžiamas mokinio patirtimi ir siejamas su augančio žmogaus asmeninėmis, šeimos, artimiausios aplinkos, tautos ir krašto problemomis (Lietuvos bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos bendrosios programos). Kaip atsiliepiama į šį svarbų uždavinį, norėčiau pasidalinti savo mokyklos veiklos patirtimi. Mokykloje dirbo 12 pradinių klasių mokytojų, trys biologijos, viena geografijos, viena chemijos mokytoja ir visųjų bendras tikslas, kad moksleiviai turėtų galimybę išskleisti savo kūrybos galias ir gebėjimus, dalyvaujant gamtamoksliniuose tyrimuose-stebėjimuose, kurie kiekvienais mokslo metais, atsižvelgiant į moksleivių pasirengimą, nusiteikimą ir norą dirbti, yra vis sudėtingesni ir įvairesni. Kviečiant moksleivius dalyvauti gamtamoksliniuose tyrimuose, akcentuojama, kad svarbiausia mokyklos patirtis - ugdyti asmens gebėjimą apsispręsti ir pasirinkti. Galimybė rinktis yra ne tik didelis pranašumas, bet ir atsakomybė.

ENAll main education is orientated to a child, youth, their needs and abilities. The school helps a person to extend his individual creative mights and abilities. The main education first of all is based on pupil’s experience and is linked with his individual, his family’s, environmental, nation’s, his native land’s problems. I would like to share our school experience responding to this important statementdemand-task. There are 12 primary school teachers, 3 biology, 1 geography and 1 chemistry teacher. Their main goal is to help pupils to extend their own creative abilities, taking part in natural science researches. Even from the first form pupils have a chance to decide and choose the researches they like best. Pupils from the first form carry out various natural science researches-observations such as “Birds in winter”, My pet”, “My little friends”, “What we eat at our school canteen”, “Our pupils health”, “The water of the river Nevėžis”, “The weather and the plants”, “To be healthy - it’s science and art” and etc. So educating a pupil, involving in a research work our school teachers pay great attention to these educational values: 1) awareness, knowledge, intelligence. We extend pupils social experience, train their mind. By general education we seek that a pupil would realize the outside world and know how to act in it By special education a pupil is trained for his future career.2) morals. It is form of individual consciousness, reflecting pupil’s relation with environment, people, work, objects and himself; 3) spirituality. It is generous internal experience; 4) nationality. In the centre of teacher’s attention there is getting on and cooperating, the principals and sense of neighbouring cooperation; 5) public spirit. We emphasize public spirit as pupil’s obligation to be a citizen with all duties and rights; 6) Sense of beauty. It is stressed the way pupil should understand, evaluate and create beauty, understand what is a noble action and vile, tragical and comical; 7) Health and diligence.To make experiments first of all is work and work is man’s purposive, conscious activity, the source of his existance. Making various natural science researches at school, pupils themselves create methods of their activity. Then they analyze how they have chosen. Such methods as games, questionaire, dramatization, observation, “brain storm” and etc. are used. Pupils read a lot of supplementary material and learn to systematise, choose the most important things, preparing the descriptions of a certain observed plant or animal. We use results of the observations-experiments in biology, geography, chemistry lessons, organize pupils scientific conferences, discussions, guestions-answers parties, games, make showcases. Key words: natural science researches, educational values, observations-experiments.
