Extra-curricular activities in biology. Development of extracurricular activities in biology

The modern school has a great responsibility not only for the education of the younger generation, but also for its upbringing and development. These processes are most often carried out by conducting extra-curricular activities. The teacher should make a clear plan and follow it.

Biology Lessons

Biology as a discipline contributes to the formation of a fully developed personality. At lessons, practical and laboratory classes students get knowledge about the surrounding living nature. During the training of biology in children, aesthetic tastes, love of nature, feelings of patriotism are brought up.

All extracurricular activities in biology in addition to fulfilling their main goal - motivation to study this subject - should contribute to the development of a number of other functions:

• The ability to apply the acquired knowledge;
• Development of creative activity of students;
• The education of love and care for all life on earth;
• The ability to see the beautiful in the ordinary.

Most often, extra-curricular activities are timed to coincide with this or that holiday. The following are suitable for the subject "biology": "Health Day", "Biology Week", "Garden Week", etc.

The teacher speaks at the pedagogical council with a proposal to hold activities on his subject. If the pedagogical team approves them, it means that they will be included in the plan of school-wide extra-curricular activities. And from that moment it is already possible to begin preparation for them.

To prepare an extra-curricular event in biology, you need more than one day of painstaking and careful work of the teacher, to which students will later be connected.

Preparation of the event on biology

Before starting the process of preparation of the event, the teacher must necessarily decide on the purpose of conducting it, then create tasks and determine the age category of students for whom this topic will be most relevant.

Taking into account all of the above, the subject teacher chooses the form of the conduct. Extra-curricular activities in biology can be implemented in the following forms:

• Olympiads;
• Quizzes;
• Hours of entertaining biology;
• Themed evenings;
• Mind games;
• KVN;
• Exhibitions of works of students.

A variety of forms of carrying out of actions on biology is caused by an opportunity of attraction for participation in process of preparation and carrying out of parents of pupils and other adults.

Developing extra-curricular activities

After the form of the conduct is chosen, it is possible to proceed directly to the thought-out of the course of the event. Of course, the development of extracurricular activities in biology is every teacher in his pedagogical coin box.

There are two conditions under which the extra-curricular activity can become unique:

1. It is not necessary to repeat the same extra-curricular biology event from year to year. If you like the name, you can leave it, but you need to change the text content.
2. It is recommended to study several developments of extracurricular activities with the same form of conduct, and then, using the proposed tasks, to create one.

KVN is always relevant

As the long experience shows, extracurricular activities in biology are quite diverse, but, perhaps, the most popular and universal form of conducting is an analogue of the KVN television game. Here, within the framework of the biology week, all age groups of children can be involved. Competitions are held between parallel classes, and the more of them, the more interesting the game is. Students prepare their own speeches on the topic proposed by the subject teacher, which contributes to the development of cognitive interest, the study of additional literature on the subject in order to deepen the existing knowledge.

The teacher of biology is appointed as the host, he is also responsible for organizing and conducting the event. Jury members are most often appointed teachers in related subjects (in this case - teachers of geography and chemistry), as well as class leaders. In addition to adults, the jury must be attended by children who have sufficient knowledge in the field of biology.

But what kind of KVN without spectators and support groups? This role is assigned to all wishing students of the school.

Fifth grade. Attract attention!

Biology, in fact, as a subject, the children begin to study in the fifth grade. The section of this science, which falls on the 5th-6th grade, is botany. Not for all children, it is of interest, and besides, the number of lessons provided for in planning is one hour per week. Therefore, in order to attract the attention of children to the subject, it is advisable to use extra-curricular activities. At the initial stage of the study, the following forms of conduct are considered to be winning:

• Hours of entertaining biology, under this generalized name, you can safely conduct extra-curricular activities for any research (experiments, laboratory exercises), using natural material (leaves and flowers) collected in the summer-autumn period, you can draw children to create paintings.
• Quiz is an extra-curricular event. Biology as an object provides a bookmark of the basic concepts on which all further study will be built. To check how successful the process of assimilation of information, the form of the quiz suits as well as possible.
• Mind games. They can be conducted on the basis of television programs, the rules of which are well known to children, is "One against all", "Clever and clever", etc.

Teachers need to remember that it is necessary to inculcate love for one's own subject from the very beginning, encouraging children to self-development. It will help in this class extra-curricular. Activities (Grade 5, "Biology" - the subject under consideration) will help to interest children in the initial stages.

How to create a script

Any mass event provides for a scenario. His writing depends on many factors:

• Age of pupils;
• Knowledge of the subject;
• Location;
• Number of people involved.

The scenario of extra-curricular activities in biology should necessarily provide for the educational part. Therefore, all the contests included in it, blitz surveys should be related to biology.

As part of the development of the educational process, integrated lessons emerged , which contributed to the creation of integrated extra-curricular activities. They include a game called "At the crossroads of school subjects." The scenario of this extra-curricular activity includes contests requiring knowledge of all school disciplines according to the age category of the students, in addition, children are explained the relationship between these subjects (biology + Russian, biology + mathematics, biology + literature, etc.).

Whatever the scenario, it must be remembered that children should go home happy after having attended an extra-curricular event, adding something new and interesting to their treasury of knowledge.

Feedback

After any event, feedback should be provided, which is conducted in the form of an analysis.

The teacher should conduct an analysis of the extracurricular activity in biology twice: in one case this is summing up the results together with the children, and in the second case, the self-assessment of the teacher-organizer.

The implementation of this procedure is necessary for the purpose of self-development. Taking into account all the pros and cons, next time it will be possible to organize extracurricular activities in biology more successfully.

To the note to the teacher

Each biology teacher must always remember that the successful life of the child in the future depends largely on the development of this subject.

Therefore, having planned an extracurricular event on this subject, do not delay its development in the long box, let it be better that there will be more time than it will not be enough for qualitative preparation. And if the event is crumpled, without a thought-out logical sequence, then it is unlikely to be useful.
