It is planned to involve famous psychologists in the training of students. In particular, those who in the past academic year helped graduates psychologically prepare to pass the unified state exam. Among them are Vyacheslav Dubynin, Victoria Dmitrieva, Larisa Surkova and others. As noted by Olga Yesenina, the opening of this project in schools has been expected for a long time. In 2017, MSUPE opened a career guidance center for pre-university education “PRO PSY”. “Our ambitious goal was to become a link between residents, the education and science department, employers, clubs and students,” says Yesenina. “The center teaches neurotechnology and cognitive science classes throughout Russia, the demand is huge,” she says. she says. This means that new pre-professional classes will be popular.
What are the objectives?
The main task of studying in these new classes is not so much to master professional skills at the initial level, but to show the teenager what his profession will be related to, what he will do, with whom and how to work, and what difficulties he will have. he will find. As future educational psychologists themselves joke, having mastered these skills in two years of schooling, they will at least learn to calm down and tune in to the appropriate wavelength, without resorting to outside help.
What other addresses are there?
Let me remind you that for the first time, pre-professional classes (engineering and medicine) appeared in Moscow in 2015. At that time no more than a hundred high school students studied there. Currently 400 Moscow schools are participating in the projects. 52 thousand high school students study in pre-professional classes. The number of these classes is growing. The interest is explained simply: children study in greater depth those subjects that they will need to continue studying at universities. In addition, university professors introduce them to the profession and students receive practical training with future employers.
The choice is wide. In total, eleven directions are now open: medicine, computer science, cadets, new pedagogy, space, media classes, aircraft construction, engineering, sports, entrepreneurship and psychological-pedagogical.
They are in almost all schools in the capital, the only difference is that in some places only one direction is represented, and in others the entire line is represented. It depends on the wishes of the students and the capabilities of the school. After all, to create special classes you need well-equipped laboratories, IT training grounds, 3D machines and printers, robotics laboratories, medical equipment or a modern sports field. For example, last year they opened sports, aviation and space classes for the first time. Sports classes were attended by athletes who want to continue studying at their school, but spend more time on the training fields than in classes. Two more areas were created with the participation of the state corporation Roscosmos. Next year it is planned to open a National Space Center in the capital and the personnel for this are already being considered.
