From December 14 to 16, the Research and Practice Conference Developmental Teaching: History and Perspectives will be held by the Developmental Education Association and the Institute of System Projects. The Conference is dedicated to the 60-year anniversary of the Elkonin-Davydov system of developmental education.
The Elkonin-Davydov system was launched in 1958 when the Junior Students Psychological Laboratory was established in the school No 91. The first to head the Laboratory was Professor Daniil Elkonin, later — Professor Vasily Davydov. In 1996, the Elkonin-Davydov system was recognized by the state as one of three national junior education systems.
The system of developmental education is very farsighted, as it corresponds to the current educational standards and the Concept of Reforming Russian Educational System. The objectives of the Elkonin-Davydov system fit the contemporary trends in Russian and international education, which include being initiative, self-dependent and responsible, as wel as able to fulfill one’s own potential in the modern world.
