Weekly schedule

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The weekly plan is a structuring work and organizational medium for open lessons and serves as a forerunner and promoter of free work and project-oriented work. A weekly plan is a plan with a certain amount of elective and compulsory tasks from one or different learning areas. This plan is created by the teacher for the students and the tasks are usually completed within a week in individual, partner or group work. With the help of certain work equipment and attached materials, the students can complete the assignments in the planned weekly hours. When processing the orders, you determine the timing, sequence and type of cooperation yourself.

In order to be able to use weekly plans in the classroom, the students must be familiar with forms of work such as partner and group work, as well as a good social atmosphere and a positive work attitude.

As a weekly schedule teaching a lesson is called, which is based on working with weekly schedules. Since it is based on the guidelines of the curriculum, it is a lesson that conforms to the curriculum.

Structure of the weekly plan

A weekly schedule should always be designed to answer the following questions for students: What should I do? What can i do? What do I need to solve the tasks? How can I proceed? When do I work on the plan? Answering these questions is crucial for the success of the weekly plan, in order to get the students to work independently on the weekly plan.

History: roots of the weekly plan concept

The historical roots of the concept lie in reform pedagogy in the first third of the 20th century. These approaches have been taken up and further developed in the German school system since the 1970s.

  • Georg Kerschensteiner and Hugo Gaudig placed the principle of activity under the postulate of freedom at the center of their approach. The principle of self-activity can be found in all approaches to weekly plan work today.
  • Celestin Freinet developed the concept of the plan de travail , a two-step weekly plan. From the weekly program decided by the class council, the plan collective . From this, the student creates his individual weekly work plan (plan individual), sometimes with the support of the teacher .
  • After a visit to Maria Montessori , the American country teacher Helen Parkhurst decided to let her students of different age groups learn according to different talents, individual inclinations and individual rhythms. This resulted in the so-called Dalton Plan , a contract that was concluded between teacher and student.
  • Peter Petersen designed the Jenaplan as a school educational reform model. But the weekly work plan he is talking about has a different direction. It is practically a timetable replacement that is supposed to overcome the scrap of school timetable.
  • Since the late 1970s at the latest, the topic of “weekly plan work” was on everyone's lips in primary school. Based on the Marburg elementary school project under the scientific supervision of Wolfgang Klafki , the weekly plan idea spread as a methodical form to promote self-control in elementary school .
  • In the secondary school - with the exception of a few experimental schools - it took until the 1990s to recognize the opportunities in weekly planning work. Dieter Vaupel developed a groundbreaking concept for the secondary school sector based on the experiences in primary schools.
