Olga Zubkova, President of the Friendship Notebook National Association for the Development of Education and author of her own project, the LAMPA International Film Festival of Socially Oriented Short Films, believes that the new movement must take into account the needs of children, so that every child and teenager could find something to their liking.
"There should definitely be counter-vectors. We need to understand what we, the adults – professionals, family, school – can give children in terms of moral education, relevant experience, knowledge and skills. What can we give from what is in demand, taking into account different ages and different needs? We need to understand what children, teenagers, and young people care about in order to find the common ground that would become a starting point or form the conditions for viable technologies," she says.
Boris Podolny adds that in addition to considering the children’s opinions, the views of teachers, psychologists, people with great professional competence and experience are equally important.
"Absolutely, there should be a broad enough discussion not only at the level of collecting feedback from schoolchildren. We now have a tendency of chasing the consumer feedback. A schoolchild is also a consumer in a sense. However, if we endlessly shift responsibility to consumers who have no special competences, we risk getting our results wrong," says Boris Podolny.
What can you take from the past, and what can you positively take from the future? Before answering this question, experts suggest looking at the role of the customer. It is the customer, represented by the state, who must define the parameters of what the output should be.
"Today’s senior school students will be the main productive force of the country 10 years from now. The strategy and ideology of the movement related to the education of the individual and a member of society should be based exactly on the image of the future which the state sees for itself. We need to start with a discussion of what we want our country to be in 20 years, and define the goals we will set for the movement based on that vision," says Boris Podolny.
Also, according to the expert, it is not quite right to rely on models that demonstrated their success in the last century. These models will not necessarily be successful today, because the society is changing too much and too quickly.
