Primary school research projects to participate. Project activities at school

Dear parents and children!

You already need to decide on the topic of the project work on which you will work. On this page you will find recommendations that will help you prepare high-quality project work, structure and types design work, as well as a list of possible topics for design work.

Types of projects

Practical project - aimed at solving real problems that reflect the interests of project participants. These projects have a clear goal that must be achieved. For example, you can complete a practical project "Help the birds" Where purpose There will be the production of birdhouses or feeders. The value of the project lies in the reality of using the product in practice.
Research project resembles in structure research. It includes justification of the relevance of the chosen topic, formulation of the research problem, mandatory formulation of a hypothesis, discussion and analysis of the results obtained. For example, students can complete research project called "Why do plants need water" . During the project it is possible to carry out mini-study: try to germinate bean seeds using water and without water, and then evaluate the result.
Information project aimed at collecting information about any object or phenomenon. For example, you can collect information about the largest aquariums in the world and present it to the children in class.
Creative project involves the production of various crafts, posters, drawings and other products. In our class we have already taken part in creative project "Family holidays and traditions" . During the project, each child not only conducted a mini-research on family holidays and traditions. The children made photo collages, posters and leaflets depicting family holidays and traditions.

Stages of work on the project

Stage I: choosing a project topic
Stage II: collection of information
Stage III: thinking about a project plan
Stage IV: project implementation
Stage V: preparation for the defense of the project (drawing up a portfolio, preparing a presentation, crafts, report on the work done, leaflets, newspapers, and so on)
are developing electronic presentation etc.
Stage VI: presentation and defense of the project in class
VII stage: reflection (self-analysis and self-evaluation of the work done, your impressions of working on the project).

How to choose a project topic?

Rule 1. The topic should be interesting to the child.
Rule 2. The topic must be feasible, and its solution must be useful to the participants of the study.
Rule 3. The theme should be original, with elements of surprise and unusualness.
Rule 4. The topic must be accessible to the child, the child must understand the topic of the project.

Project structure (this is what the guys MUST reflect in their projects)

DON'T FORGET TO ATTEND A "PRODUCT" TO YOUR PROJECT - A CRAFT, A MODEL, A FILM, A PRESENTATION, AND SO ON.

Examples of design work (taken from the Internet)

Choose a research topic.

Work with sources of information, find answers to your questions.

Draw your own conclusions.

Present the results of your work.

Prepare a short speech to present your research.

Work your speech carefully. There is no need to leave room for improvisation. If you doubt yourself even a little, it is best to think through even unimportant phrases in advance.
Prepare your speech in front of the mirror and say the words out loud. Rehearse not only the text, but also the pronunciation and facial expressions. Absolutely everything affects a person. Therefore, the success of the entire project depends on how the material is presented.

School projects are a method of developing student abilities: organizational, intellectual, oratorical. Independent work instills in schoolchildren the skills of searching and systematizing information, arouses interest in the subjects being studied. In this case, the fundamental point is the choice of a topic whose knowledge the child would like to demonstrate to peers and teachers.

How to do a project correctly

Project activities involves the disclosure of a topic chosen by the student. The successful completion of work depends on the goals set in it and their subsequent implementation. Row installed general rules, which should guide you when writing a project.

Choosing a theme

The first priority is to determine the research topic. It is desirable that it be familiar to the student and arouse interest.

Next, read the assigned task or the proposed structure by the teacher. If the teacher has not set specific tasks, you need to independently divide the project into its component parts. In each, establish the key points that need to be touched upon when presenting (goals). Then you need to draw up a project plan, which includes chapters, supporting materials (presentations, illustrations, diagrams, diagrams).

Then work out all sorts of ideas, where to start, how best to write a project, where to get information, who to contact for advice.

Students are advised to use several ways to think about the concept:

Letter in free form. On a sheet of paper in the middle, indicate the name of the text, and under it write down the words that first came to mind. All thoughts are written without discarding inappropriate ones.
Creating a diagram. The topic of the study is written in the central part of the sheet. Then draw a line to the side of the center and write in the fact or idea. At the same time, associations are used without stopping at the deep connection. As preparation progresses, similar considerations are grouped together and key points selected from them.

Collection of information

Preparation of information includes a selection of necessary sources for the upcoming research. When compiling scientific text You will need at least 8-10 of them, which you can take on the Internet, the library, or in consultation with a specialist or teacher.

For example, to prepare a project on historical theme books, scientific materials, newspaper articles, personal correspondence of figures are suitable. Having familiarized himself with the sources, the student will touch upon the events of the past and present his own thoughts in the correct form.

After the materials have been collected, they move on to listing the fundamental facts. Along the way academic work Some sources will not be needed; usually, students initially take more information than is needed in their work.

When studying the material, you need to make appropriate notes, which will help you formulate the text in the future.

In the project, it is important to indicate bibliographic data of the literature used:

Last name, initials of the author, name of the source, publisher, edition number, date and city of publication, number of pages.
When using articles, indicate the surname, initials of the author, title of the article and journal, number and date of publication, pages of the article, digital object identifier.

It is important when collecting information to thoroughly study the issue, identifying little known facts. This approach to revealing the topic helps the student to better navigate the project, learn for himself and tell others something new.

Organization

The next step is to develop a plan for completing the work. You can sketch out a list of necessary actions or steps.

A creative project consists of tasks: gathering information, writing text, artwork, and final design.

It is important to set the completion time for each block of assignments, taking into account deadlines. You need to work in the opposite direction from the set date of the scientific and practical conference.

For example, there is a month left before the deadline, which means that first of all 1 week should be devoted to drawing up a plan and collecting information. The next week is devoted to scientific research. Then the week is spent writing the text. And finally, the final stage is the final design and artistic applications.

Additionally, the creative process can be divided into days, depending on the speed of project preparation.

Registration

This stage includes writing a text that presents all the facts and considerations on the topic. The presentation indicates collected materials during the research. It is mandatory to cite the sources from which the information was taken. In case of difficulties, it is recommended to ask your teacher for examples of the design of a project or individual chapters.

Finally, it is necessary to prepare a conclusion, artistic applications. Visually displaying ideas in the form of a presentation or diagrammatic drawings helps to visually perceive information.

If several events are selected (for example, according to history), then it is advisable to use a time diagram. When school work is based on geographical aspects, it is wise to create a map. The presentation is based around a key idea.

Examples of presentation methods:

three-dimensional representation, for example, showing a map of battles with a demonstration of the movement of the army;
conducting experiments;
photo show - look impressive vintage photos, you can supplement the project with objects from the past;
demonstration of the project on a computer when preparing a complete presentation, and so on.

During the final assembly of the work, you need to check the assigned tasks and the result of their implementation. If suddenly something is missed, it is necessary to supplement the study.

It is important to allow additional time for possible finalization of the project.

Once a research project is done, it must be read carefully and checked for errors. This will help avoid criticism from teachers and peers.

Ready themes

The current topic raised in the study will help students develop creativity, engage in self-education. During the design process, the child will learn to properly conduct a discussion and prove his own point of view using arguments.

Research work includes scientific elements:

hypothesis;
proof;
laboratory research;
analysis of the received information.

How to choose a topic for CPD is extremely important in educational process. You can use any ready-made themes for work or come up with it yourself.

Project activities of schoolchildren

What's happened educational project for student and teacher

Project activities of schoolchildren are cognitive, educational, research and creative activities, as a result of which a solution to a problem appears, which is presented in the form of a project.
For a student, a project is an opportunity to maximize their creative potential. This is an activity that allows you to express yourself individually or in a group, try your hand, apply your knowledge, bring benefit, and publicly show the results achieved. This is an activity aimed at solving an interesting problem formulated by the students themselves. The result of this activity - the found method of solving the problem - is practical in nature and significant for the discoverers themselves.
And for a teacher, an educational project is an integrative didactic means of development, training and education, which allows you to develop and develop specific skills and design skills: problematization, goal setting, activity planning, reflection and self-analysis, presentation and self-presentation, as well as information search, practical application of academic knowledge, self-study, research and creative activities.

Design and research work at school is a new, innovative method that combines educational and cognitive components, gaming, scientific and creative. The main difference between such activities for primary school is that students, first of all, receive the first research skills, due to which the specific qualities of a special way of thinking develop.

Organization of project activities

When organizing project activities in elementary school, the teacher needs to take into account the following aspects:

1. The project assignment must correspond to the age and level of development of the student.
2. The issues of future projects should be taken into account, which should be in the area of interest of the students.
3. Conditions must be created for the successful execution of projects (availability of materials, data, multimedia).
4. Before giving students a project assignment, you should first prepare for conducting such activities.
5. Manage projects, help and advise students.
6. Practice project-based activities with students, while improving general educational skills.
7. When choosing a project topic, do not impose information, but interest them, motivating them to search independently.
8. Discuss with students the choice of sources of information: library, reference books, Internet, periodicals, etc.
9. In the process of preparing for project activities, it is advisable to organize joint excursions, walks, observations, experiments, and events for students.

Types of projects

Research projects. Schoolchildren conduct experiments, study some area, and then present their results in the form of wall newspapers, booklets or computer presentations. Such research projects have a positive impact on the student’s professional self-determination, and can also become the basis for future coursework, theses during my student years.
Game projects. They are presented in the form of games and performances, where, playing the roles of some heroes, students offer their solutions to the problems being studied.
Information projects. Students collect and analyze information on a topic, presenting it in the form of a magazine, newspaper, or almanac.
Creative projects. There is huge scope for imagination: the project can be carried out in the form of an extracurricular activity, an environmental action, a video film and much more. There are no limits to imagination.

Choosing a topic and setting a project goal

The selection of project topics can be based on in-depth study any educational material in order to expand knowledge, interest children in studying the subject, and improve the learning process.
The project must have a clear, realistically achievable goal. In the most general sense, the goal of the project is always to solve the original problem, but in each specific case this solution has its own unique solution and implementation. This embodiment is a project product, which is created by the author in the course of his work and also becomes a means of solving the project problem.

Front page

The title page is the first page of the explanatory note and is filled out according to certain rules.
The full name is indicated in the top field educational institution. On average, the name of the project is given without the word “topic” and quotation marks. It should be as short and precise as possible - consistent with the main content of the project. If it is necessary to specify the title of the work, then you can give a subtitle, which should be extremely short and not turn into a new title. Next, indicate the last name, first name, school number and class of the designer (in the nominative case). Then the surname and initials of the project manager.
The lower field indicates the place and year the work was performed (without the word “year”).

Following title page a table of contents is placed, which lists all the headings of the explanatory note and indicates the pages on which they are located. They cannot be shortened or given in a different wording, sequence or subordination. All blanks are written with capital letter and without a dot at the end The last word of each heading is connected by an dot to its corresponding page number in the right column of the table of contents.

Introduction to the work

It substantiates the relevance of the chosen topic, the purpose and content of the tasks set, formulates the planned result and the main problems considered in the project, indicates interdisciplinary connections, informs who the project is intended for and what is its novelty. The introduction also describes the main sources of information (official, scientific, literary, bibliographic). It is advisable to list the equipment and materials used during the project.

Main chapters

The following is a statement of the goal, and specific tasks to be solved in accordance with it.

The first chapter of the project discusses the proposed methodology and technique for its implementation, provides brief overview literature and other materials on the topic.

In the next chapter (search) it is necessary to develop a bank of ideas and proposals for solving the problem considered in the project.

In the technological part of the project, it is necessary to develop a sequence for executing the object. It may include a list of steps, technological map, which describes the algorithm of operations indicating tools, materials and processing methods.

Next, it is necessary to consider the economic and environmental assessment of the project. In the economic part, a complete calculation of the costs of manufacturing the designed product is presented. Next is project advertising and marketing research. Particular attention must be paid environmental assessment project: justification that the manufacture and operation of the designed product will not entail changes in environment, disorders in human life.

Conclusion

At the conclusion of the project, the results obtained are outlined, their relationship with the general goal and specific tasks formulated in the Introduction is determined, and students are given a self-assessment of the work they have done.

List of used literature

After the Conclusion there is a list of references used. All borrowings must necessarily have subscript references to where the given materials were taken from.

Applications

Auxiliary or additional materials, which clutter up the bulk of the work, are placed in appendices. The application contains tables, text, graphs, maps, drawings. Each application must begin on a new sheet (page) with the word “Appendix” in the upper right corner and have a thematic heading. If there is more than one application in the work, they are numbered in Arabic numerals (without the No. sign), for example: “Appendix 1”, “Appendix 2”, etc. The numbering of the pages on which appendices are given must be continuous and continue the general numbering of the main text. Through it, applications are carried out through links that are used with the word “look” (see), enclosed together with the code in parentheses.

Dear parents and children!

You already need to decide on the topic of the project work on which you will work. On this page you will find recommendations that will help you prepare your design work in a high-quality manner, the structure and types of design work, as well as a list of possible topics for design work.

Types of projects

Practical project - aimed at solving real problems that reflect the interests of project participants. These projects have a clear goal that must be achieved. For example, you can complete a practical project "Help the birds" Where purpose There will be the production of birdhouses or feeders. The value of the project lies in the reality of using the product in practice.
Research project The structure resembles a scientific study. It includes justification of the relevance of the chosen topic, formulation of the research problem, mandatory formulation of a hypothesis, discussion and analysis of the results obtained. For example, students could complete a research project called "Why do plants need water" . During the project it is possible to carry out mini-study: try to germinate bean seeds using water and without water, and then evaluate the result.
Information project aimed at collecting information about any object or phenomenon. For example, you can collect information about the largest aquariums in the world and present it to the children in class.
Creative project involves the production of various crafts, posters, drawings and other products. In our class we have already taken part in a creative project" Family holidays and traditions" . During the project, each child not only conducted a mini-research on family holidays and traditions. The children made photo collages, posters and leaflets depicting family holidays and traditions.

Stages of work on the project

Stage I: choosing a project topic
Stage II: collection of information
Stage III: thinking about a project plan
Stage IV: project implementation
Stage V: preparation for the defense of the project (drawing up a portfolio, preparing a presentation, crafts, report on the work done, leaflets, newspapers, and so on)
develop an electronic presentation, etc.
Stage VI: presentation and defense of the project in class
VII stage: reflection (self-analysis and self-evaluation of the work done, your impressions of working on the project).
