ANAPA 2006

took place on October 30 - November 4, 2006 in the Krasnodar region on the basis of school No. 6 in Anapa and school No. 2 in Ust-Labinsk.

The conference was organized by the Russian Association of Geography Teachers. The Department of General and Professional Education of the Administration of the resort city of Anapa provided great assistance in the organization.

Main directions of the conference:

Geographical education in Russia: current state and development prospects.

The place and role of geography in a specialized school.

Computer technologies in modern geographical education: Russian and international experience.

Regional component in the content of geographical education.

The result of the conference was a resolution, the text of which is printed on the next spread.

The meaning of any conference is not only in the speeches, but also in the constant multidirectional communication of colleagues. This is what usually happens at international forums: participants have professional business communication skills.

Our geography teachers, as usual, stay in groups. So it was here: Anapa teachers clearly occupied a certain geographical position - one of the four flanks of a huge square of “round” table, built in the assembly hall of the sixth school; the guests occupied the other three sides. Then, however, spatial differentiation began to transform into interpersonal integration Plenary session. The speaker is Associate Professor of the Department of Methods of Teaching Natural Science, Geography and Ecology, Moscow State Open University (MSOU), Candidate of Sciences. ped. sciences

One of the strongest points of the conference excursion program is the mud volcanoes of the Taman Peninsula (north of Anapa). What are the conditions for the manifestation of mud volcanism?

1. The presence of thick layers of plastic clay.

2. Confinement to the ending zones of large folded structures with tectonic disturbances.

3. Accumulation of hydrocarbon gases causing abnormally high interlayer pressure.

4. The presence of formation waters that soften clay rocks.

Here, in the peripheral zone of the Greater Caucasus, in the area of ​​the ancient Kuban delta, all these conditions are met. Thanks to them, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor at Moscow State University Vasily Panteleevich Golov got the opportunity to show gallantry,

The solution to the problems of modern Russia largely depends on the extent to which the future generation of citizens of our country will acquire knowledge about the territory, natural resources and productive forces of the Motherland, about the population of our multi-ethnic state, about the diversity of the regions of the largest country in the world.

It is geographical knowledge that provides incentives for conscious creative activity for the benefit of the Motherland. Geographical education is the cornerstone of social development of personality and education of citizenship.

High-quality school geographical education should be adequately represented in both the federal and national-regional components of education. In order to further improve geographical education in secondary schools, the Conference:

In the 8th and 9th grades, allocate additional hours within the regional component to study your region in parallel with the study of relevant topics in the course “Geography of Russia”;

Pay more attention to the practical orientation of geography as an academic subject; to this end, provide in the curriculum a well-thought-out system practical work

, as close as possible to the problems actually solved by people in geographical space;

When writing textbooks, pay more attention to the principle of interest, fascination, and move away from “dry” scientific nature;

To more widely involve practicing teachers, as well as representatives of the association of geography teachers, in the examination of textbooks and teaching aids;

Correlate the volume of programs, standards, content of textbooks with the number of hours allocated for studying school geography courses;

Consider it necessary to further methodically and didactically meaningful informatization of school geographical education, taking into account the specifics of geography as a science and an academic subject; apply a complex of modern interactive teaching tools, among which the leading place is occupied by both interactive multimedia educational publications and digital educational tools unique to geography - school geographic information systems; normative document on a regional tour;

Marina Vladimirovna is a historian. However, these two items are always together and go hand in hand. The paths of history run through geographic space. (“Geography is history in space, history is geography in time,” the great Jean-Jacques once wrote to Eliza Reclus.) M.V. Miruk is a well-known developer of areas of the local history course “Kuban Studies”, co-author of the remarkable atlas “History of Kuban” for its informativeness and imagery.

The opening of the All-Russian Congress of Geography Teachers will take place on October 28 in the Hall of the Cultural Center of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov (Moscow. Leninskie Gory, no. 1). The President of the Interregional Association of Geography Teachers of Russia, Alexander Lobzhanidze, shared his vision of the problems and prospects of school geography.

Alexander Alexandrovich, you have long headed the Association of Geography Teachers. What are the main problems of teaching geography in school today?

The association has existed for 15 years, I have headed it for 10 years. Today regional branches exist in 25 regions. The first and main problem of school geography is the aging of the teaching staff. The reason is obvious: given the low level of salaries in the regions, young graduates of teacher training colleges and universities are reluctant to go to school. The consequence of this situation is a growing gap between generations of teachers focused on traditional forms of teaching and students living in the new information space. The second problem is the lack of a single state standard to educational and methodological complexes. In the market conditions, a huge number of textbook lines have appeared, many of which are written in old educational paradigms. As a consequence, there is a lack of continuity from class to class, from region to region. When moving from one school to another, students and parents are faced with the problem of switching to a new educational complex. The third problem is the boring Unified State Examination. You can discuss the correspondence of the questions to the program and the unambiguity of the answers as much as you like. the main problem is that the Unified State Exam<сушит>geography, replacing its humanitarian basis with training in problem solving. The fourth problem is the loss of the practical significance of geography both for life and for a future career. Recently, the practice of long-distance hikes and expeditions of schoolchildren in their native country has sunk into oblivion, hence the decline in interest in the practical component of geography. In most universities, geography has disappeared from the list of entrance exams economic faculties, remaining only in specialized geographical faculties - hence the drop in interest in it among graduates. Have these problems changed over the past 5-15 years? Yes, unfortunately, they have worsened.

Which regions of Russia (subjects or specific schools) can boast high level teaching geography?

Despite the generally high level of the capital cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, there are also a number of centers distinguished by a traditionally high level of geographical education. The winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian and international Olympiads represented Kursk, Irkutsk, Stavropol, etc. It all depends on specific factors: the presence of a significant regional center for geographical education (university), an institute for advanced training of teachers, a competent proactive methodologist in geography and, of course, talented teachers who have trained more than one generation of winners and prize-winners of Olympiads, participants in geographical competitions and numerous projects.

What, in your opinion, should be done today first of all to improve the quality of geography teaching in schools?

First of all, it is necessary to fully implement the requirements of the new Federal State Educational Standard for basic school and achieve a worthy position for geography in the basic curriculum of high school. Secondly, the efforts of the geographical community should be aimed at popularizing geography in all spheres of modern life.
