Socially useful work forms in children a responsible attitude towards themselves and others, stated Doctor of Pedagogy, Head of the Department of Pedagogy and Modern Educational Technologies, Professor of State Educational University Natalya Gorlova in an interview with FAN. Earlier, a bill on the compulsory participation of schoolchildren in socially useful work was submitted to the State Duma.
“There are different aspects in education: patriotic, civil, labor, etc. Labor education is to form a responsible attitude towards oneself and others. The unity of education and training is the realization of the principle of socially useful labor. If a child is serious about learning, the work attitude has already emerged in him. He works while he is learning,” said the professor.
According to her, the benefits of socially useful work are also evident when schoolchildren go out on subbotniks together and enjoy spending time together.
