- Till Richter, insegnante tedesco a Esslingen, s'impega per il modello "Gleitzeit" di essere testato di nuovo nella prossima scuola media annuale a Plochingen.
- Nella classe tedesca, l'idea per l'esperimento "Gleitzeit" a Plochingen scuola media è nata dai studenti stessi, durante una discussione su cosa li preoccupasse a scuola, specificatamente tempi di lezione e l'orario di apertura.
- Gli insegnanti a Stoccarda credevano che coloro che si erano presentati a scuola durante il modello "Gleitzeit" fossero molto più motivati e ha aiutato a completare i compiti senza scuse.
- Il modello "Gleitzeit" è stato per la prima volta testato nella settima classe della scuola media a Esslingen all'inizio dell'anno scolastico, consentendo agli studenti di decidere se venire a scuola alle 7:50 o solo alle 9:40. Per questo tempo, gli studenti settimi avevano ricevuto compiti che potevano completare sotto la supervisione a scuola o in un altro momento a casa.
- Secondo il Ministero della Cultura in Baden-Württemberg, l'orario di apertura della scuola è deciso dal cosiddetto consiglio scolastico in base alla legge scolastica, e una programmazione dell'orario di apertura è possibile, tenendo conto delle condizioni locali.
Dopo ora comincia scuola - Tempo di slitta nelle scuole? I insegnanti invocano dinuovi prove
Giovedì, 26 maggioLunedì- Mornings early to school or rather sleep longer? Students at a Gymnasium in Plochingen have tested a "Gleitzeit" model for several weeks and came to a positive conclusion. "The project was successful for the class and for me," says Till Richter, German teacher of the class at the school in the Landkreis Esslingen.
He advocates for the Gleitzeit to be tried again. "I could propose another test in the next school year," so Richter. This should then be scientifically accompanied and evaluated, and carried out with neutral classes and neutral teachers.
The idea for the experiment at the Plochinger Gymnasium, which ran from early April to mid-May, came from the students themselves. In German class, they had discussed what bothered them at school. "The discussion quickly turned to lesson times and the school start," says Richter.
Martedì- Either complete assignments in class or at home
The seventh grade of the Gymnasium tested a Gleitzeit model for six weeks at the beginning of the school year. Twice a week, students could decide whether they wanted to come to school regularly at 7:50 am or only at 9:40 am. For this time, there was a voluntary learning time instead of the regular German and English classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. For this time, the seventh graders then received tasks that they could either complete under supervision in school or at another time at home.
The opportunity to use the flexible schedule was used differently by students. Sometimes two students were present, sometimes half the class, says Richter. The goal was not that as few students as possible came to class, but that they thought carefully about whether it made sense for them to come.
Mercoledì- Teachers: Those who came were more motivated
The conclusion of the pedagogue: "Those who decided to come to school were much more motivated," says Richter. In addition, he had time for students who did not dare to speak to him in front of the entire class.
And the completion of tasks also worked well, only very few had not completed their tasks. "Through the Gleitzeit model, there were no more excuses. No one could say: I didn't have time," says Richter. For students who had not completed their tasks well, he also gained a new instrument through the model: "I could say: Come to the next flexible schedule time and we'll go through it again together."
Giovedì- School community decides on school start
According to the Ministry of Culture in Baden-Württemberg, the school start is decided by the school conference in accordance with the school law, and a scheduling of the school start is possible, taking into account the local conditions.
In primary schools, the rules are stricter. The ministry stated that teaching should start evenly every day. "Classes 1 and 2 should start no later than the second hour, classes 3 and 4 should start at the first hour," it continued. "Exceptions from these regulations can only be made for compelling reasons."
