FEATURES OF ORGANIZING SCHOOLCHILDREN`S INVENTIVE ACTIVITY: FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF THE YCIC NOVATOR

The presented publication analyzes the current problem of training future personnel for the innovative economy of the country and the importance of teaching schoolchildren to invent in additional technological education. The article contains data on the organization of inventive activities of schoolchildren at the Youth Creativity and Innovation Center (YCIC) Novator in Lipetsk, using personality-oriented and activity-based pedagogical approaches that have become the scientific basis for the theoretical searches performed and the experiment conducted; the experience is presented, which shows the need to involve school administrations and schoolchildren`s parents in this process. The materials include a description of the algorithm for organizing inventive activity, which contains two consecutive stages: involving schoolchildren in inventive activity and teaching them to invent. The description of the stages of work is given, at the first of which motivational meetings with parents and children are held, which is facilitated by school administrations. During the meetings, both groups (schoolchildren and their parents) get an idea of the proposed program based on photo and video materials of classes with children at the YCIC Novator, as well as a demonstration analysis of the tasks that the children will face during subsequent training. At the second stage, training is carried out in the formed groups in the following sequence: classes on overcoming psychological inertia — study of necessary working methods — work on solving technical problems — registration of of intellectual property protection documentation — presentation of the project at conferences and exhibitions. Here, students get acquainted with useful information about invention, master the necessary methods of activity and perform a variety of tasks. A feature of the work during this period is the involvement of industrial enterprises as sites for identifying technical and technological problems, the solution of which will form the basis for innovative projects of schoolchildren and the development of facilities with innovative potential.
