Hello reader! You have probably already realized that studying at the university is a very important stage in life, which reflects the future destiny of a person very accurately. Higher education helps not only to find a job worthy of their qualifications, but also to gain respect in the person of colleagues and superiors, as well as to rapidly advance along the so-called "trade union line" and ensure a comfortable existence. However, so far all these are dreams, and the student, as you know, "lives from session to session."
It is precisely about this period "from session to session" that it is worth talking in more detail, since in the charter of any university it is called a "curriculum". If you strictly follow all her recommendations, then problems with academic performance should certainly not arise.
Before talking about the features of the educational process, it is worth noting that curriculum is the action plan approved by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Russian Federation, which allows you to determine the amount of knowledge and skills suitable for a particular course of study at the university.
To put it simply, it is clearly defined which segment of the program the student must go through in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth courses. In accordance with the curriculum, teachers create syllabus, that is, in writing, they provide information about what students will do in pairs in each course, what knowledge and skills they will acquire, what new sciences they will become familiar with and how deeply.
So, to put it simply, the curriculum at the university is the boss, and the curriculum is his subordinate. That is why this type of reporting concerns not so much students as teachers, who, within the established time frame, must provide the expected volume of both theoretical and practical information offered for study by students of universities.
In those cases when the teacher realizes that he does not have time to “subtract his hours”, then voluntarily organizes forced pairs at inopportune hours in order to quickly catch up with the material that was not covered in time.
Perhaps such scrupulousness is not important for the student, but the teacher's task is to provide for the study those topics that were approved by the curriculum at the beginning of the academic year. In general, this is very important, and this critical issue should not be ignored.
Principles of curriculum creation
As I have already said, the Minister of Science and Education of the Russian Federation approves the curriculum at the university, and the curriculum is approved by the dean or head of the department. It immediately becomes interesting, and according to what principles is the selection of the program, which many teachers of higher educational institutions honor, as the charter and the second Constitution?
There are several criteria for evaluating, and let's discuss them in more detail:
1. Relevance of selected topics and subjects... Scientific and technological progress, however, like the achievements of science and culture, does not stand still; therefore, those topics in the curriculum that were relevant a few years ago have now become "morally obsolete", that is, unclaimed.
To understand what is at stake, let me remind you of the immortal Lenin and the genius Karl Marx with his Capital. In the first case, our mothers and fathers knew the biography of this "people's favorite" by heart, and all the congresses of the CPSU in detail even bounced off their teeth (even at night, wake up and ask).
As for "Capital" by Karl Marx, I personally did not study this topic at school and university; and only a couple of pages were devoted to the life of Vladimir Ilyich in my history textbook. Now, I think, it is clear what "obsolete information" means.
2. Social education of students... Studying should not only be cognitive and compulsory, but also have a social connotation, that is, the material is selected so that the student from the information received will learn something useful and vital for himself, and not leave the content of the subject “behind the scenes,” so to speak.
3. Development of creativity... Very often the teacher says about some of his students: "He does not see beyond his own nose." In this case, we are not talking about poor eyesight at all, but about a narrow outlook, lack of imagination and primitive thinking.
If a student does not know how to sort the information received on a pair and apply it in practice, then it is unlikely that in the future he will turn out to be a competent and qualified specialist. However, it is quite possible to learn this in five years, the main thing is to set a goal and take a responsible approach to the educational process.
4. Sequence of presentation of knowledge... The curriculum is structured in such a way that the curriculum begins with simple and accessible information, but gradually becomes more complex and deeper. Simply put, without knowing the multiplication table, you cannot solve examples of finding the discriminant, for example. I think the main point in this case is clear.
5. The connection of the studied subjects... The curriculum includes those subjects that are related to each other, or logically complement each other. For example, it can be ecology, chemistry, biology; or psychology, sociology and natural science. In general, it turns out that a Russian student receives a comprehensive education, which cannot be said about the foreign teaching method, but more on that later.
Now it is clear what the school curriculum is and what points are important in its annual compilation or correction. As a rule, the curriculum at a university does not radically change for many years, but every year it is supplemented with new facts and topics that, as you know, are relevant at the moment and keep up with the times.
Features of the domestic curriculum
This means that in September, after the holidays, they begin to spontaneously attend a number of lectures within the framework of their specialty, and after that they independently select for themselves those subjects that, in their opinion, are the most necessary.
No, of course, there is basic knowledge that you want or don’t want, but you will have to get it, but already in the second year, a student of an overseas university studies those topics that are considered the most necessary in their future profession.
And you can also visit painting couples, literary and art circles, but only for your own pleasure, or in order to consider yourself a comprehensively developed personality. Such seminars are additional activities, but students are ready to go to the university solely for the sake of attending them.
Now it is clear why domestic specialists are so in demand abroad. The fact is that these are broad-based workers who, studying complex mechanisms, simultaneously write essays in pairs of business Russian, or conduct experiments in chemistry (in the first year).
Where an import specialist will expect the help of another narrow specialist, the domestic one will figure it out himself; remember at least an episode from the immortal picture "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears", during a conversation between Katya and the head of the workshop about the breakdown of the machine.
How to structure the curriculum correctly?
I found information on the Internet that the curriculum can be built in two ways - concentric and linear. Although this information is more necessary for teachers, I nevertheless decided to figure out what these intricate terms mean. And here's what I dug up:
Concentric way Is a systematic repetition of the material covered, but each time in a more in-depth form. As a rule, it is this technique that is used in modern higher educational institutions, colleges and vocational schools. As practice shows for many years, the method really works in practice, and has already allowed graduating more than one excellent student (qualified specialist).
Linear way associates the curriculum with links in the same chain. The teacher's task is to consistently pay attention to each link, and start the next one only after an in-depth study of the previous one.
In this case, the main emphasis is on logic, which connects all the links of one chain. This curriculum creation method works more in schools, but can also be used in other educational institutions.
In conclusion, we can only add that it is not the students who establish the curriculum, it is not for them to cancel it or ignore it. Kohl came to study at the university, be so kind as to follow all the rules that exist within its walls, which have been working here for a long time and have been perfected to automatism. And amateur performance, arrogance and systematic violation of the rules are definitely not welcome here!
Conclusion: In the article I presented, I told in detail to all interested students and not only what a curriculum at a university is, who invented it, and how it is correctly drawn up in practice.
The topic is important, the topic is necessary, especially when there are still five long years of hard study ahead! All information on a given topic is succinctly presented on the pages of the site, so no one should have any questions from now on.
Now you know what is the curriculum at the university, and how important it is for successful learning.
At our university, training is carried out according to educational programs. This means that any applicant first chooses an interesting program for himself, then tries to enroll in it, and then, if he becomes a student, he will study on this program.
The programs offered by the university are very different - from secondary education programs to postgraduate and doctoral programs. If we talk only about higher education, at the Higher School of Economics you can get higher education at various levels on the main educational programs of bachelor's, specialist's, master's degrees, as well as programs for training scientific and pedagogical personnel in graduate school. In addition to educational levels, programs may differ in areas of training. Currently, our university provides training in a wide range of educational areas - not only in the “title” socio-economic areas for HSE, but also in the humanities, engineering, and computer science. So, in 2017, about 30 different areas of training are offered for training.
Faculties and educational programs
The two main entities that a student encounters during his studies at the university are his faculty and educational program. HSE has describing the activities of the faculty and formulating its main task as "ensuring a high level of training for students, graduate students, listeners, research and design work performed ...". As a rule, educational programs are "assigned" to certain faculties, and faculties (depending on their size) may have a different number of educational programs, from a few units to several dozen. The rules by which each educational program lives and develops are fixed in
What does a student remember when it comes to his educational program?
Of course, about his fellow students and teachers, with whom he meets at lectures, seminars, master classes, about what he is taught and where he can work after graduation ... Undoubtedly, these are integral parts of any program, but its main "official" characteristic - this is a curriculum that the student has to fully master during the period of study. is closely related to the current educational standard in this area of training and the level of education. The Higher School of Economics, as a national research university, received the right to independently set educational standards (see Article 11 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”), and it exercised this right. This is how the university appeared .
Briefly about the curriculum of the educational program
Based on its own OS, each major educational program at the NRU HSE develops a curriculum. In the curriculum of the program, there are always both compulsory disciplines and electives: within the framework of this program and disciplines from university-wide pools of disciplines, with which students can supplement their individual learning path (, in a magistracy,).
Students who have successfully completed their studies, as well as passed the final certification, receive a "document on education and qualifications" of the appropriate level and direction of training, and in other words - a diploma.
Who runs the educational program?
All administrative issues during the implementation of the program are resolved by the training office, and its activities are regulated. Students can contact the staff of the training office with all organizational issues arising during the training.
Where can I get information about the program
You can get detailed information about any higher education program at the Higher School of Economics on its website. Actually, the program site is a detailed image of the program, and it is designed for various categories of users: applicants and their parents, students, representatives of external structures that regulate educational activities. The site has mandatory sections, of which:
- applicants can learn all the most important about admission to the program, for example,
- students find information on the educational process and student life in general (: message board, schedule, ratings, etc., including);
- all categories of users can familiarize themselves with and read these courses, see the "quality marks" received by the program (its various accreditation and certification), and a lot of other useful information;
- and, of course, the program's website contains the contacts of its academic leader and the educational office, who can always ask questions about the program and, what is important, get answers.
We figure out how to choose a university and a specialty using the capabilities of the site site
On this page you will learn how to find a university online according to any criteria.
Our entire site is a site - this is detailed information about all universities in Russia, set out in a convenient form. However, even in such a form as, for example, in, it is difficult to select specialties, compare them, etc.
FOR THAT YOU DO NOT WORRY, WE HAVE DEVELOPED A FILTER that will show a selection of universities and specialties in them according to all the criteria you need : geographical, in the subjects of the exam, in the cost of training, the form of training, specialties and much more.
In order to select educational institutions, you must either open the filter, or familiarize yourself with the section where you will find the USE calculator, you will be able to choose a profession:
HERE EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE: to choose a university online, you must specify the parameters you need for selection in the "Conditions", "Specialties", "Geography", "USE" tabs. It is optional to fill in everything and click on the red button "FIND". You are required to complete only those fields that will affect the selection.
For example, you need universities1) full-time education
2) with a specialty "Jurisprudence"
3) in the city of Moscow
4) which of the USE requires Russian, history, social studies
5) our USE scores in these subjects are 215
We start to open the tabs one by one:
1) Conditions
In this tab, you can specify the form of study, the cost of tuition per year (if it is not important, leave it as it is), the willingness to pass entrance tests, the parameters of the university (only state, only with a military department, only with a dormitory).
2) Specialties
Here is a list of specialties. You can choose one or several specialties. If nothing is filled in, then the search will be performed in all directions.
3) Geography
Here you select the cities in which the search will be carried out. If empty, searches all.
4) Unified State Exam
Here we select the items that you pass and the passing points for them.
You can combine online university selection. For example, without selecting a specialty / -s, the search will be carried out in all, without selecting a city, you will start a search in all cities, etc.
It is also important to note that all information about universities on the Internet was obtained from their websites and various sources. It will always be most correct to contact the university directly. Fortunately, contact details are also attached to each university in our country.
Use it to your health!
