Teacher Coaching as an Example of Solving Logical Problems

Abstract

Based on the technology of teachers’ educational coaching, a methodical approach of interaction between students and teachers for solving a non-standard task by a student — a task with "extra"data in the condition, is demonstrated. The presented methodology is designed to help students develop the necessary skills to successfully complete the task.
The main stages of the methodology are detailed, from critical understanding of the task (topic), goal setting, motivation of activities and the choice of strategy to a creative approach to solving the task and analyzing the results. The role of the teacher consists in posing guiding questions, increasing student motivation, monitoring difficult situations while moving towards a set goal. The result is the unlocking of the child’s potential for the formation of his inner desire to "learn how to learn". During the coaching session, the effectiveness of various graphical models was considered and evaluated using the example of solving a logical problem.
