ORGANIZATION OF COLLECTIVE LESSONS IN A SMALL-GROUP SCHOOL

This article discusses the practice of teaching children of different ages using collective lessons in a smallgroup school, which has shown its effectiveness in the experience of teachers in East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions. The authors study traditional methods of organizing the educational process in elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as the interaction in joint classes of different ages and its advantages and disadvantages. The article presents an innovative type of education based on the abandonment of the classroom-lesson system and the transition to collective multi-age education, features of the implementation of collective lessons, and the technological process in different age groups. Teaching at different ages can solve not only these problems but also further improve the quality of education. This ensures a systematic connection of the entire educational process because children of different ages and classes study in the same educational group. Teachers should use not only the most effective methods and forms of teaching, but also take into account the individual characteristics, capabilities, and needs of each student, and ensure that learning is connected with life. This allows students of different ages to communicate with each other, learn from each other, organize joint activities among students of different ages, learn the material in-depth, and gain a complete understanding of the material being studied.
