Reflective techniques at parent meetings

.
It is advisable to end the parent meeting with an assessment that shows whether the expectations of its participants were met, what was especially significant for each of the participants, and what conclusions the parents drew for themselves. At the final stage of the parent meeting, it is important to find out whether the understanding of the issue under consideration has changed. Each of them must decide for himself what at the meeting reinforced his opinion, and what needs to be reviewed or changed in himself. This is reflection, that is, assessing oneself from the perspective of the issue under consideration. We will give specific techniques for conducting assessment, self-assessment, and reflection. A written answer to one of the questions of the participant’s choice:
“What new did you learn today?

What caught your attention at the meeting?

Which speech do you consider the most constructive and why?

What was difficult?

What hindered your work and why?”

There may be other questions - at the discretion of the teacher or the organizers of the parent meeting. Ball game.

One sentence answer to the question asked.
By accepting the ball, the parent gives the answer to the question posed. When he gives the ball back, he asks a question. Gesture of the day.
Sitting or standing, parents demonstrate their attitude to the results of the meeting with appropriate facial expressions or gestures.
Drawing of the day.
Parents express their attitude to the meeting with an appropriate drawing, explaining, if necessary, its meaning.
Word of the day.
It is proposed to express in one word your attitude towards the meeting.

Coordinate system.

A coordinate system is drawn on the board. Each parent must determine his point in this coordinate system - this will be his assessment of the meeting. On one axis, grades are marked by content, on the other - by organization.

Blitz survey.

The teacher asks questions about the topic of the parent-teacher conference, and parents give quick and short answers, answering as they wish.

Anonymous advice.

Each participant receives a card on which he writes advice to the teacher or other participants. You can offer to give advice in a humorous manner.

Exhibitions.

The work done by parents during the meeting is displayed at the stand.
Parents themselves make rationalization proposals for improving their work. They also evaluate the results of their activities. The teacher highlights the positive in each work and offers to compare the children’s work with the work of adults, highlighting the difficulties in completing tasks. A survey
of parents at the final stage of the meeting is carried out in order to give participants the opportunity to assess their knowledge on the issue discussed at the meeting and to evaluate the overall results of the parent meeting.
A typical parent-teacher conference participant.
The teacher invites parents to draw up a portrait of a typical representative of their group.
This could be a real portrait of the group, or it could be a joke. It all depends on the mood and desire of the parents. Both options can be offered. Pyramid of knowledge.
Parents build a pyramid of their knowledge acquired or expanded at the meeting. You can build a pyramid of positive emotions, interesting facts, useful information, original tasks, etc.

Reflection (self-analysis) can be carried out after each stage of the parent meeting, but it is most appropriate to do this at the end of the meeting. All parents take turns expressing their impressions of the meeting. The teacher encourages parents to speak out by asking: “What did you like most? What would you like to do differently? How has your attitude towards yourself changed? What valuable qualities of yours were you able to see at the meeting? What new knowledge and skills have you gained? What discoveries did you make for yourself during the meeting? What questions were easy for you to answer? What surprised you? What was useful for you personally?” Other questions may be asked. Their wording depends on the composition of the parent group and the topic of the parent meeting.

Self-analysis of personal qualities.

The teacher invites parents to think about what worries them most about themselves: relationships with children, appearance, style of behavior, demeanor, attitude of people, the results of their own activities, their inner world, etc. The number of signs, the signs themselves are determined by the parents together with the teacher.
All of them are recorded in a column. Participants need to rank the features, that is, put a number next to each feature. First, participants choose the most significant feature for them, it corresponds to the number 1, then the next one - 2, etc. Each participant will have their own order of numbers. You can determine the leading signs for this group of parents if you use the information received from each participant in the Crown of Knowledge
(skills, positive feelings, joyful moments, interesting ideas, communication, etc.). Participants in the parent meeting, intertwining their hands (for example, the right hand on the shoulder of the neighbor on the right, and the left hand on the belt of the neighbor on the left), make a wreath. At the same time, everyone talks about the positive things that happened at the meeting. The teacher says that this wreath allows the acquired knowledge and positive feelings not to crumble, but to grow stronger, leaning on the shoulder and experience of their new friends, the parents of this class of students. Every participant can always remember this.

Synthesis of information in concise terms.

Participants in the parent meeting are asked to describe everything that happens at the meeting in one word.
All words are recorded. Then it is proposed to compose a title from two words, then using a whole sentence that reveals the essence of the topic. Answer the question: “What am I grateful for today?” A wonderful casket
(suitcase, backpack, bag, briefcase, etc.). The teacher invites the class participants to answer what they would like to put in a wonderful casket and take with them into the future from the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired at this parent meeting.

Score by cards.

The stand or board is divided into three parts.
The first part will highlight everything that participants saw positive at the parent meeting. The second part should indicate what did not satisfy their requests. The third part will contain proposals for further improvement of parent meetings. Each participant receives three cards corresponding to the three sections of the stand and fills them out in large letters. Score cards are placed on the stand. The answers received can, if desired, be discussed with the whole group. You don’t have to do this, since the answers speak for themselves. A survey or written questionnaire based on pre-written questions
.

Questions are thought out by the teacher in accordance with the topic of the parent-teacher meeting and are offered to participants in order to obtain a more complete understanding of the effectiveness of the meeting. You can repeat some of the questions that participants answered at the beginning of the meeting in order to compare the dynamics of changes and increases in knowledge.

Blitz interview with the central press and news agency.

Each participant gives a short report about the parent meeting, in two or three sentences. You can record these messages on a voice recorder or video camera, and then listen or watch them all together. There may be clarifications and additions.

Letter.

The participant writes a letter to himself, a friend, a colleague, the future generation, etc. In the letter, he talks about the work done, gives his assessment of the parent meeting that took place, and notes personal changes that seemed significant to him.
The letter can also be written on behalf of a wise person, a fairy-tale hero, etc. The letter can be individual or group. The teacher can offer several options, and parents choose the one that appeals to them most. Work in a circle.
Everyone stands up or sits in a circle and expresses their opinion about the parent meeting. Statements can be in the form of answers to questions prepared by the teacher. This can be a free form of expression or performance based on a role principle. “If I were the leader of the parent meeting...”, “If I were watching the parent meeting from the side...”, etc. All participants in the parent meeting informally say goodbye to each other and to the teacher, expressing their opinion on the work of the parent meeting, their wishes. The above techniques do not exhaust the variety of work and communication with parents. This is only a small part of them, which can make parent-teacher meetings and parent-teacher meetings interesting and memorable. Literature 1. Abramov A., Bim-Bad, B., Gromyko, Yu.

How to develop parents’ reflection on personal educational experience

How to develop parents’ reflection on personal educational experience

GOAL: familiarization with methods of enriching the educational experience of parents .

A modern parent is faced with a dilemma: trust his child, take risks in his upbringing , showing more and more trust in his skills, independence, initiative as he grows up, or stay within the framework of disciplinary and controlling education . Scientific evidence and the lived experience of families shows that by taking risks, parents are more likely to help their child learn to be happy without them. Parenting without trust is like passing on to a child his own stereotypes and habits, which deprive him of freedom and independence.

The following cooperation tasks can be identified:

• establishing partnerships with the family of each student ;

• joining efforts for the development and education of children ;

• creating an atmosphere of community of interests;

• emotional mutual support and mutual insight into each other’s problems;

• activation and enrichment of parents' educational skills ;

• supporting their confidence in their own teaching capabilities.

The tasks are related to the process of self-knowledge by parents of the educational role in the family , enriching their own experience of relationships with the child. The implementation of this task gives cooperation with parents a developmental focus . As opposed to informing them about the life of children in preschool educational institutions, the reflexive model of communication between the teacher and the family is found in the parents’ rethinking of their educational attitudes and thinking stereotypes, and the disclosure of internal reserves.

In psychology, this form is called reflection . Translated from Latin it means “turning back”

.

J. Locke called reflection “looking inside oneself”

.
As social psychologists L.A. Petrovskaya and Yu.M. Zhukov note: “ the reflexive orientation of pedagogical communication helps not only to indicate to a person the area of ​​his inadequacy, but to lead him to ascertain it for himself.”
The task of developing reflection in parents is especially relevant in the initial period of formation of parental positions . The author O. L. Zvereva includes in the concept of “pedagogical reflection "

the ability of
parents to analyze their own educational activities , critically evaluate them, find adequate reasons for both their pedagogical successes and miscalculations, and select methods of influencing the child that correspond to his characteristics and specific situation. A number of studies on the development of reflection show that as parents their relationship with their child, they experience positive personal changes , which, in turn, imply positive changes in child-parent relationships and normalization of the child’s emotional well-being.
Great reserves lie in the use by teachers of various methods of developing parents’ reflection of their own educational techniques :

• Discussion of different points of view on a controversial issue will set parents up for reflection . For example: “What, in your opinion, is the main guarantee of a child’s well-being - extraordinary willpower, good health or bright mental abilities?”

• Solving problematic problems of family education encourages parents to analyze educational techniques , search for a more appropriate way of parental behavior , exercises the logic and evidence of pedagogical reasoning, and develops a sense of pedagogical tact.

For example: parents are presented with a problematic situation: “You punished the child, but later it turned out that he was not to blame. What will you do, why exactly?” or “Your three-year-old daughter is acting up in the cafeteria, where you went for a short while. She crawled out of her chair and decided to run. She laughs, runs between tables, waves her arms. You, thinking about the rest of those present, stopped her, sat her down at the table, and sternly reprimanded her. Question: “What reaction to the actions of parents can be expected from a child who does not yet know how to understand the needs of other people? What experience can a child gain in this situation?”

• Role-playing family situations allows you to enrich the arsenal of ways of parental behavior and interaction with the child. For example, a task for parents : “Please show me how you will establish contact with a crying child, etc.”

•Training exercises and tasks:

o assess different ways of influencing a child and forms of addressing him,

o see the difference between them,

o choose more successful ones,

o replace undesirable forms of treatment with constructive ones.

For example: instead of “Why didn’t you put your toys away again?”

-
“I have no doubt that these toys obey their master!”
You can also give the task to determine what is seen as unconstructive in such addresses to the child as “Shame on you!”

, “I’m not satisfied with your
“I want”
, you never know what you want!”, “What would you do without me?”,
“How can you do this to me!”
, etc. These could be game exercises with a ball , like
“Complete the sentence...”
For example,
the teacher throws a ball to the parent , saying “Doing well at school means...”
or
“The characteristics of my child are...”
, etc.

Parents' of children's behavior helps them see their teaching experience from the outside , provides an opportunity to reflect on the motives of the child's actions, and teaches them to understand them from the point of view of his mental and age-related needs. When inviting parents to express an opinion about the child’s actions in a specific situation, it is useful to formulate the question: “What would your child do in a similar situation?”

• Appeal to the experience of parents . For example: “Name a method of influence that helps you more than others in establishing relationships with your child?”, “Has there been a similar case in your practice, tell us about it...”

, “Remember what reaction the use of rewards and punishments causes in your child,” etc.

Encouraging parents to exchange experiences activates their need to analyze their own successes and failures in upbringing , and compare them with the techniques and methods of upbringing used in similar situations in other families.

• Playful interaction between parents and children in various activities (drawing, modeling, sports games, theatrical activities, etc.)

contribute to emotional rapprochement,
parents and children gain experience of partnerships.
The listed methods can be supplemented by the teachers themselves from their own experience . When a parent models his own behavior in a game, his field of vision on the educational problem expands. He may even question his own previous understanding of her. A parent , involved in the game modeling of his behavior, begins to rediscover the joy of communicating with a child not only at the level of words, but also of experiences.

CONCLUSION: Thus, the use of various methods of reflection by parents helps to increase the flexibility of their position as mothers and fathers, and the emergence of a new vision of the usual ways of interacting with the child.

Parents gradually transform from spectators and observers into active participants in meetings, becoming involved in the study of their own behavior. They begin to independently analyze their difficulties, see their own reflection in the mirror of their relationship with their child more realistically and take responsibility for their further construction, feeling more competent in raising their son or daughter .
