DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS INFORMATION LITERACY IN A RURAL SCHOOL // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 1 (29). P. 21-26

We described the issues of different age education in a rural school and presented the main components of information literacy of school students (obtaining information; evaluating information; using information). The concept of “information” is disclosed. We studied the relationship of information literacy with such types as network literacy (the ability to analyze, collect and use information coming from social networks); digital literacy (the ability to understand and use information provided by a variety of formats and sources using a computer); internet literacy; computer literacy (knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for understanding information and communication technologies, including hardware, software, systems, networks (local networks and the Internet)); media literacy (knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for understanding all means of (mass) communication and formats in which the creation, storage, transmission and presentation of data, information and knowledge is carried out). We gave examples and analysis of the current situation in rural schools, the reasons why it is necessary to develop and implement information and communication technologies in small schools and the practice of their application. We also described the main directions of development of teachers in rural schools (areas that require special attention when designing a development program for a particular school) and the conditions that are necessary for this.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF DIFFERENT AGE COMMUNITIES OF STUDENTS IN RURAL AREAS // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 1 (29). P. 195-199

In the article we offer an analysis of the phenomenon of heterogeneous education in a rural school, provide educational tasks that are solved by small schools, and reveal the contents of the concepts “condition” and “pedagogical conditions”. We examined the conditions for organizing the educational process in a rural school (procedural; substantive; managerial; psychological and pedagogical; didactic; methodological; sociocultural). Characterized the learning functions of children of different ages (psychological, social; compensatory; stimulating). They provided a definition of students of different ages in rural areas. The educational process in a rural school involves the implementation of such pedagogical ones that involve the organization of educational activities in small educational groups; taking into account individual characteristics and inclinations of students; selection of training content, selection of methods, forms of work, ensuring the formation of students’ knowledge, skills; construction by the teacher of an individual learning route for students; development of the ability to learn independently; successful assimilation of educational material in the process of student interaction; conditions determined by the characteristics of rural life. Properly organized training in a different age group contributes to the creation of a strong student team, helps to educate students in responsibility, discipline, and the development of initiative.
