information, and force them to plan strategies for
solving problems, increase the effectiveness of their
own reasoning and their level of creativity.
Here is an example of an algorithm for
considering the problem:
Familiarization with the problem.
Brainstorm.
Make a list of what is known.
Make a list of what is unknown.
Make a list of what needs to be done to solve
the problem.
Problem definition.
Getting information.
Presentation of results.
To implement problem-based learning in the
educational process, the teacher must prepare and
think through problem situations that students will
work on. These problem situations should be
correlated with the goals that students should achieve
in the process of activity. It is necessary to provide for
the possibility of both individual and group work of
students, which allows them to exchange ideas,
identify difficulties and directions for solving the
problem. Time is solving the problem should be
limited, given the complexity of the problem.
Group work is a method often used by teachers. It
can be organized both with the distribution of
responsibilities, when each member of the group is
responsible for performing a specific task, and at the
final stage, all participants unite, or jointly, when all
members of the group simultaneously perform all the
necessary tasks.
Learning at school requires teamwork and
cooperation. Thus, students develop their individual
and group skills. The discussion processes inherent in
the activity prepare team members to defend their
ideas on the basis of consistent arguments, as well as
learn to accept the ideas of others.
In accordance with the learning theories of
Vygotsky, Dewey and other educators, collaborative
group work prepares students to:
Actively participate in collective activities.
Accept and fulfil group commitments.
Help others and ask when needed.
Put your individual strengths at the service of
others.
Accept the opinions of others.
Understand the needs of others.
Establish contacts with others, including
representatives of other cultures.
Set goals, objectives, resources, roles, etc.
Critically and respectfully listen to your
interlocutors.
Express your ideas and approaches in a
reasonable manner.
Accept valid criticism from other people.
Develop interpersonal skills, etc.
Many studies show that groups that include
people with different types of thinking demonstrate
the greatest efficiency in work, rather than those with
the same type. Collaboration in project work arises
from the recognition that there are activities that
cannot be done alone. Therefore, in order to increase
the effectiveness of the results of the practice-oriented
activity based on the project method, it is necessary
not only to generate one’s own knowledge, but also
share them with other members of the group.
Thus, learning is about taking responsibility for
the process of acquiring, processing, analysing
information and organizing the transfer of results to
others. The teacher is responsible for informing
students about this and showing them help in creating
suitable conditions for learning.
Groups can be formed based on the following
factors:
Restrictions on the quantitative composition
of the group (more often, as the optimal
composition of 3-4 people is recommended).
Combining into groups, taking into account
the personal sympathies of students.
Grouping by the teacher based on
pedagogical goals.
Random grouping.
When organizing the educational process, it must
be taken into account that each group consists of
students of different performance. However, it is
recommended that the average performance of each
group should be the same. A balanced distribution of
group composition by gender is also recommended.
Robotics projects can be developed using a
variety of tools. Analysis of projects allows you to
highlight important aspects in this activity.
3 CONCLUSIONS
In general, a collaborative research project consists of
a planning phase, an implementation phase, and an
evaluation phase, which will be described in detail
below. However, in the process of developing such a
joint project, students may need to work both in
groups and individually. It should be noted that the
usual classroom space may not be enough for this.
Some of the participants may need to go to the library,
others to the computer lab. The classroom or student
workplace expands its boundaries because the
learning objectives expand. It is necessary to take into
