A new course in the Sciences for students!

March 4 scientific school OYLA has launched a new training course in the natural Sciences, which has already signed up 80 middle school students. Three times a week, they will study physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology in an integrated approach.

'In the 7th grade when physics starts, the child learns that there is a smallest particle, the atom and everything consists of atoms. Then the atom appears again in the 8th grade in chemistry, and disharmony will arise: atoms which were in physics is the same atom as in chemistry? This time difference is a bit confusing student, and he is forced to look for connections between phenomena studied in different subjects, – said the head of the school of Sciences OYLA, Almas Ordabayev.

The classes are 7 young specialists with a classic natural science education. They have received additional training in school Oyla and in the summer of 2018 went on a course in Finland. For grant and commercial courses were attended by 300 children.

Classes are held three times a week for two and a half hours. In the first lesson, the teacher explains the topic, gives the theoretical material. Kids read articles, books, and hypotheses. On the second lesson, students conduct experiments and draw conclusions, which protect the end of the week, participating in the debate. Students work individually and in groups, and joint discussion of the material covered helps it to absorb.

The project involves mainly school Medeu district of Almaty city: gymnasium №56, №35, №120, № 159 and Nazarbayev intellectual school. The leadership of these institutions have expressed their desire to participate in an educational experiment.

The new methodology will have the opportunity to see and teachers from the partner schools, so they could use them in their classroom. The outcome of the project should be a tutorial that the authors give to school partners. Scientific school Oyla plans to transfer its methodology to the education authorities, so that it can be applied in secondary schools.
