The main purpose of extracurricular activities is a student’s self-determination:
the personal, moral, professional and national. Self-determination always involves the
choice of activities, point of view, the position in the collective, behavior in a
problem situation. Extracurricular activities should cover all pupils.
SCSE offers the following areas of extra-curricular activities: sports -
recreational, cultural, social, intellectual, spiritually moral and ecological.
Extracurricular activity is an educational activity carried out in the forms
different
from the lesson ones, and aimed at the achievement of the expected results
of the basic educational programs of general education development in the
framework of the SCSE.
Forms of extracurricular activities organization are excursions, groups, sections,
round tables, conferences, debates, school scientific societies, Olympiads,
competitions, search and scientific researches, socially useful practices and other
forms, but classroom instruction shall be not more than 50%, the educational
organization within the framework of basic education
program determines all forms
of extracurricular activities organization.
«Physics»
The content and continuity of the physics foundations study is regulated by the
program as a key state document, compulsory to be carried out.
Physics is taught from the 7th till 11th grade in Kazakhstan.
The analysis of the teaching physics experience in national and international
schools, common didactical demands and requirements of Psychology study give
grounds for the definition and development of programs for extracurricular activities
in physics.
Extracurricular activities in physics include scientific conferences, entertaining
Physics evenings, competition evenings, parties and conferences, KVN and physical
hockey.
The script of the conference "Science and morality", dedicated to the humanistic
issues of scientific creativity is very interesting. Students form a view about the role
of science in society, about the humanistic essence of science, about the scholar
moral poetry importance.
The evenings of entertaining physics with descriptions of a significant amount
of entertaining experiences and focuses deserve special attention. It is possible to
make physical exhibitions at school. This form of extracurricular work belongs to the
most seldom applied forms.
The following themes of physical exhibitions are recommended:
«Physics in your future profession», «Physics in the profession of a doctor»,
«Physics and sports», «Physics and music» and others. Exhibitions
play a great role
in career guidance work, helps to feel the beauty of a science and the process of
knowledge.

The decade of physics at school is important. The descriptions of competition of
crossword puzzles, papers, scientific projects are given what promotes the
development of creative activity and independence of pupils; the exhibition of books
in physics; an hour of open doors in a physics class; work of a school broadcasting
centre.
It is possible to organize the work of various sections: «Lecturing bureau»,
«Theoretical department», «Bibliographic department» and others.
There are great opportunities of the intersubjective links implementation in the
extracurricular work on physics what allows to stimulate the pupils’ self-education:
their appeal to additional literature in three languages, repetition
of the learnt material
in different subjects under the new point of view, expansion of the pupils’ knowledge
as a result of the organized communication.
It should be noted that nonconventional forms of extracurricular work like oral
magazine and physical “spark” play a big role. Organizing the oral magazine the
technical means are widely applicable: interactive board, video films, slides, videos.
Historical data, the interesting facts, comments to experiments, meetings with guests
and other may sound on its pages.
Physical “spark” may include both the competitive program demanding
special
preparation, and competitions impromptus. These actions are one of the most popular
among pupils.
Extracurricular work in 9-11 grades, being based on the features of the identity
of seniors, can be constructed as follows. Seniors can quite cope with the registration
of the school stand on physics, prepare information leaflets. After all at this age the
public orientation of the identity of the pupil, requirement to benefit other people
amplifies. They respond with pleasure a request to help with making a poster, or in
some action organization. The senior pupils brightly show their independence and
consequently the papers in a subject have more scientific character, children use
literature not only from the school library, but also from youth and city ones for their
writing. And the work with scientific literature promotes the formation of the
generalized and systematized picture of the world. Seniors aspire very much to the
communication with adults, try to differ somehow from everybody therefore they
take with enthusiasm part in the organization and carrying out the informative
conversations with younger pupils, showing the creative nature, relaxedness, skill to
communicate. Children
can create suits, add something to the scenario. Competitive
programs and evenings for seniors bear the substantial part of the pupils’ cognitive
activity. Children aspire not only to show the knowledge of formulas, ability to solve
problems what this or that phenomenon represents, but aspire to understand the
different points of view and make own opinion.
We offer the scenario of the competitive program for the 9 grades pupils and it
will help children to find "physics" in literature, poetry, national folklore, prose.
Children should acquire that physics is closely connected not only with naturally -
scientific subjects, but also humanitarian.
