Methodological work
Functions of methodological work
- It is a means to direct the educational teaching process since the effect or consequence of this is reflected in the changes seen in the results in the educational work of the school.
- Its objective is the assimilation by teachers and directors of the advanced methodology of teaching and education of students.
- It is a system of activities, planned and dynamic.
- Aimed at preparing the cadres and teachers.
- With precise objectives in the transformations of the teaching-educational process.
- It is structured and designed based on a diagnosis.
- It is a management process.
Characterization of the methodological work
- Have a diagnosis of each director and this of their teachers as a professional and as an individual to determine their needs in: Technical – methodological, Scientific – pedagogical, Comprehensive general culture, Sphere political ideo.
- It requires maintaining a professional interaction to incorporate it into the process of diagnosis and interrelation of the educational reality that, while transforming it, is perfected as a human and professional being.
- Control and evaluate the comprehensive pedagogical training process, its achievements and deficiencies and how to eradicate them, seeing this in the result of the teaching-educational process. This allows enriching the diagnosis, control and evaluation of those involved in the methodological work.
Aspects to be considered by the director for proper planning of the methodological work
So that the planning of the methodological work in the work system is effective, that is, it is planned according to the needs; This planning must take into account in the previous analysis of management capacity the following:
- Planning of the work to be done by the institution.
- Coordination of the actions to be carried out.
- Preparation of personnel for execution.
- Organization of execution.
This presupposes a coordinated work of the entire structure led by the director, where each grade leader proposes what to do and how, so that a preliminary analysis of the management skills of all the personnel that affects the teachers begins.
This allows the director to diagnose his structure in the domain of educational policy, his creativity in implementation, his ability to materialize concrete actions, his ability to plan and coordinate.
If the principal is able to intervene only when he does not see clarity, or decisions must be made that are his or other factors of the school community, this will allow him to diagnose and determine his needs, allows the professional development of his staff, establish relationships of cooperation, sense of belonging and sense of individual responsibility.
Characteristics that must have the planning of the methodological work
Taking into account the systemic nature that characterizes the methodological work, each director inserts into the work system the plan of methodological activities to be carried out in the course and in stages as defined by each one of them.
Based on the problems detected and the diagnosis made at each level, the objectives and activities to be developed will be defined. These must be articulated and will be planned in a logical sequence taking into account the particularities that characterize them, to fulfill these objectives.
The activities of a collective nature, are specified in the degrees that constitute the basic cells of the methodological work and also at the level of the cloister, technical council and methodological preparation. As an essential element and basis of all methodological work is the preparation of the director.
When projecting the necessary activities, it is done based on the needs of each partner, so the scope of what a comprehensive diagnosis is and what it is done for must be known. In the investigation on the definition of diagnosis given by different specialists, the following is considered as one of the most complete and comprehensive:
Pedagogical diagnosis is a continuous, dynamic, systematic and participatory process. Which implies making an approach to educational reality in order to know it, analyze it and evaluate it from reality itself, forecast its change, as well as propose actions that lead to its treatment and transformation, specifying these in the design of the microcurriculum and in the direction of the teaching-learning process ¨ (Páez Suárez V. 1998 : 45)
This leads to the planning having to bear in mind by the director basic aspects such as:
- School needs.
- That it responds to stages or period.
- Preventive approach according to the changes and implementation of the new model.
- It is approved by the board of directors.
From the foregoing, it is inferred that planning requires the principal to have an accurate diagnosis of the school structure and community and of the Basic Secondary model so that at the time what is planned to be done in each grade, group, teachers and with their structure, an algorithm is used that not only leads to the fulfillment of the objectives set for the Basic Secondary School, but also that each teacher, each head of grade knows what to do, when, why and how their results are evaluated.
This will allow the planning of the methodological work to be done taking into account the following features:
- Make effective the scheme of priorities.
- Anticipate solution options.
- Anticipate possible difficulties.
- Commit each and everyone with their part in sufficient time.
- Let everyone know their commitments.
- Provide time for preparation, execution, control and reserve for unforeseen events.
