Scientific and methodological activities include two independent parts: methodological work in the library team and the provision of methodological assistance to the libraries of the network from libraries-methodological centers.

The system of methodological centers is built on the sectoral and territorial principle. There are federal, regional and municipal methodological centers.

The most important principle of methodological activity is the principle of scientific character. It means that all methodological decisions and recommendations should be based on the latest achievements of library theory, be scientifically substantiated and experimentally verified, i.e., should be the result of research activities of methodological centers to search for and create innovations aimed at improving the work of libraries, to overcome contradictions in their activities.

The principle of activity is that methodological centers should not be limited to passive assistance to libraries at their request, but should strive to actively influence their work through methodological recommendations, information about the results of research and advanced library experience, etc.

Methodological activity should be aimed at improving the work of libraries, at introducing new, progressive forms and methods into their practice. The purpose of methodological support is to help librarians in every possible way to make their work the most diverse, to help each library find its “own face”.

Methodological centers build all their activities taking into account the specifics of types and types of libraries, professions, education and practical experience of library workers, the conditions in which the library operates. Methodological centers are called upon to assist libraries in all areas and areas of their work.

The principle of direct connection with libraries is that methodological support should be based on direct study of the work of libraries, providing assistance to them on the spot.

The principle of efficiency. To improve the activities of libraries, it is extremely important to quickly identify shortcomings and miscalculations in the work and provide timely consulting and methodological assistance, timely provide the library with methodological recommendations that contribute to the qualitative implementation of all positions of its plan.

The effectiveness of methodological support is closely related to its systematic and planned nature. Obviously, it is possible to ensure the continuous improvement of the work of libraries only on the basis of systematic and systematic assistance to libraries, and not through separate, disparate methodological measures.

Methodological support for the functioning of libraries and library systems includes several interrelated areas: analytical, consulting and methodological, innovative.

One of the directions is advanced training and retraining of library personnel.

The methodological support of the work of libraries is based on analytical activities aimed at analyzing the state and development of both individual libraries and the library network as a whole. It is based on methodological monitoring, i.e. tracking changes in the activities of a library or a network of libraries in order to determine the level of their work and, on this basis, make methodological decisions aimed at its improvement.

Based on analytical activities, consulting and methodological assistance is provided, which aims to provide consulting and practical assistance to librarians. This assistance is based on the principle of activity, that is, it is carried out not only at the request of librarians who need it, but also at the initiative of library managers (librarians and methodologists).

An important area is innovation, including the search, development and use of innovations that improve the efficiency and quality of libraries.

In the process of methodological support of library activities, a number of functions are implemented that are in close interaction, representing in the aggregate a system of methodological influence on the work of a library or library network.

The leading place in the methodological support belongs to the information function aimed at timely and complete bibliographic and factual information of librarians on the basis of methodological monitoring about the achievements of modern library theory and practice, about everything new that appears in librarianship.

The significance of the pedagogical function is determined by the fact that methodological centers are called upon to train library workers. It is based on advanced training and retraining of librarians, assistance to their continuing education. The implementation of this function involves the coverage of all groups and categories of librarians, a differentiated approach to improving their qualifications, consistency and continuity in training, the use of various forms of advanced training, including self-education, and improving the quality of training of library staff.

The organizational function involves the inclusion in the methodological support of not only consulting and information activities, but also practical assistance to librarians in the implementation of methodological recommendations. It is especially evident in the communication of library managers (leaders of library teams and methodologists) with librarians. It is through this function that an active influence on library practice is realized, on the development of innovations by libraries.

Research function, as in last years there have been significant changes in methodological activities associated with an increase in the role scientific research in the development of library practice, with a change in the ratio of research and methodological work, due to the fact that the level of advice and recommendations is largely determined by a deep study of both the existing library practice and the prospects for its development.

A methodologist is not an administrator, not a representative of authority in an institution, but, first of all, a specialist who helps the teacher find his destiny. The main component of its activities is the organization and implementation of such assistance.

Advisory and methodological assistance

annotation

This material will help methodologist additional education find new directions organization of methodological assistance teachers. The selection of counseling techniques made by the author will also be useful school deputy directors for water resources management and methodologists preschool institutions .

Methodical help – this is a prompt and promising response of the methodologist to the requests and needs of children's groups, teaching staff, methodologists of the system of additional education for children of schools and preschool institutions. Methodological assistance is carried out by various means - counseling, methodological guidance, methodological support, etc.

The advisory activity of a methodologist is one of the most important areas of work, it directly relates to improving the professional skills of teachers of the institution and society. The methodologist can give advice on pre-planned topics, as well as prepare methodological material upon request. These can be prepared thematic folders, collections of recommendations on a specific issue, and, finally, live communication with the teacher.

Let's see what types of consultations can, and most importantly, should be offered to teachers?

Thematic consultation allows you to deeply, comprehensively consider a specific issue, to reveal in detail the essence of the topic. As a rule, thematic consultations are planned by the methodologist in advance and are included in the long-term planning (see long-term plan, paragraph 2, section ) It is possible to conduct a cycle of thematic consultations at the beginning of the academic year for various categories of teaching staff. Thematic consultations can be included in the program of training seminars. In preparation for the thematic consultation, the methodologist selects visual aids, methodological material.

I will give an example of a non-traditional type of thematic consultation: the consultation is conducted not by a methodologist or head of the department, but by a teacher, yes, yes, it is a teacher! Any relevant topic will do, for example, "Forms and methods of control in a lesson in an educational association." Consultation can be offered either to the most experienced and competent teacher in this matter, or, conversely, to someone who is experiencing difficulties in this area. In the second option, in the process of preparing for the consultation, the teacher studies the literature selected by the methodologist, finds out the difficult questions of the topic. He begins to test the learned methods and techniques in practice and then confidently conducts consultations for colleagues. Thus, while solving his own professional problem, the teacher consults his colleagues in parallel. This is how feedback works, i.e. active involvement of teachers in the reproduction, study and consolidation of the material.

Current consultation carried out systematically on various issues arising from teaching staff during their professional activity. It makes it possible to obtain the necessary information on the next day-to-day issues that arise in the practice of educational work. For ongoing consultations, it is advisable for the methodologist to allocate special time in the work plan (see long-term plan, clause 3, section Consulting and methodological assistance).

The current consultation arises mainly on the basis of the results of visits to training sessions by a methodologist, when problems or difficulties are identified, or on issues that arise for teachers in the course of their activities.

Operational consultation is carried out at the initiative of the methodologist, administration, teachers in the course of organizing and conducting specific events. The competence of the methodologist is manifested in an instant reaction to the miscalculations made and in the provision of immediate assistance. Operative consultations, as a rule, are not planned, they can be carried out at the initiative of the methodologist (for example, as a reaction of the methodologist to an error in the organization of the educational or upbringing process, specific cases, noticed during a class visit).

An example would be the operational consulting of a teacher in the process of preparing for a competition or certification on the following issues: how to write a self-analysis of pedagogical activity, what should be reflected in its content, how it can be related to the topic of the competition, what language should be written, etc. Here, for a consultation, you can connect a psychologist in order to develop the teacher's skills to work with the audience, showing their communication skills in public speaking, the ability to quickly adapt to a new competitive situation for the teacher, quickly establish contact with colleagues and children.

Interesting types of consultations are given by T.A. Duzhik, senior educator of the MOU "Secondary School No. 8 named after. A.S. Pushkin" (Prokhladny) in the article "The use of various forms of methodological work with teachers to improve the efficiency of the introduction of modern pedagogical technologies» (http://uo-prohladny.narod.ru/novosti/logoped/opit.htm)

Workshop consultation involves an oral presentation of material for students to master some technique, technology. After listening, teachers are invited to complete tasks on their own, for example, prepare a visual aid or diagnostic material, play a game, develop a lesson outline, etc.).

This type of consultation can be carried out, for example, in order toformation ICT competencies educator on topics such as services and resources of the Internet: the basics of searching and selecting information; telecommunication projects - support of work of students by means of the INTERNET; design and creation of electronic educational materials.

Consultation-training — the oral presentation of the material is combined with the implementation of exercises aimed at developing, shaping, and correcting the teacher's necessary professional qualities. Such consultations can be held on the development of communication skills, on creating a favorable developmental environment, emotional comfort, relieving tension and stress, etc.

Consultation-instruction. Active methods are used to determine whether the consultation contributes to professional development, as far as teachers understand the problem under discussion. feedback, which include express testing, or express survey. For this, work with punched cards or test tasks is most suitable. A punch card or a test task has answers on the topic under discussion. Everyone chooses the correct, in their opinion, answer and marks it on a punch card. Then a check is made. A teacher who has completed all the tasks correctly receives access to new equipment, the use of new computer programs in working with children, etc.

And again about long-term planning. After acquiring some experience in methodical work, you suddenly discover that in your institution, it turns out, there are categories of workers who need special help from a methodologist, and then your long-term planning should definitely expand.

We give an example of a plan proposed by N.V. Nemova in the book “Methodological service at school. Educational and methodological manual - M .: Pedagogical Society of Russia, 2007:

	Planning Features
Young professionals	· organization of training with experienced teachers; · organization of visits to training sessions; · assistance in the development of software and methodological support for the EP; · organization of training seminars; · creation favorable conditions for active involvement in the activities of the educational institution; other
Newly arrived specialists	· acquaintance with the goals and objectives of the activities of the educational institution; · studying the level of mastery achieved by the teacher; · identification of professional problems and development of professional growth programs; other
Participants of innovation processes	· forecasting problems that can be solved in the course of applying new technologies, and predictable results; · assistance in studying the theory on which this educational technology is based; · other

Of no small importance in all the various approaches to the theory and practice of counseling are individual and cultural empathy, observation of the methodologist, his assessment of the individual and the social environment, the use of methods of positive growth and development: psychological training, individual conversations, solutions to pedagogical situations, coaching, etc.

At the end of this article, I would like to draw attention to the approximate problems that may arise in the course of various kinds of counseling:

- the lack of a system of work in this direction in educational institution;
- expectation of teachers of ready-made recipes for solving problems;
- lack of support in this matter from the administration;
- own inertia of teachers;
- insufficient level of operational information on issues of methodological activity and pedagogical analysis;
- insufficient level of training of methodologists, lack of special basic training of a methodologist.

The next part of practical advice is the creation of methodological products.

The successful development of the sphere of leisure is unthinkable without the development of its theory and methodology. Plays a significant role in this process methodical activity. In the scientific literature, methodological activity is considered as a set of actions aimed at obtaining, systematizing and disseminating methodological knowledge. Main the subjects of methodological activity are methodologists professionally engaged in it. Methodological activity is one of the aspects of the professional activity of a methodologist, which he carries out along with others (for example, pedagogical, organizational-mass, etc.) It includes, first of all, the study of the theory, methodology and practice of cultural and leisure work and the development of a methodology for implementing and analysis of cultural and leisure activities.
The main types of methodological activities:
self-education;
description and synthesis of best practices;
creation of methodological products;
training of personnel for cultural and leisure work, methodological guidance;
methodological assistance;
methodical correction.
Methodical help- this is a prompt and promising response of the methodologist to the requests and needs of creative teams, personnel of the cultural and leisure sphere, cultural institutions.

Methodical help is carried out by various means - counseling, methodological guidance, methodological support, etc.

The main forms of methodological assistance
Thematic consultation allows you to deeply, comprehensively consider a specific issue, to reveal in detail the essence of the topic. As a rule, thematic consultations are planned by methodologists in advance and are included in long-term planning. Thematic consultations can be included in the program of training seminars. In preparation for the thematic consultation, the methodologist selects visual aids, methodological material.
Current consultation is carried out systematically on various issues that arise for cultural organizers and leaders of artistic groups in the course of their professional activities.
Operational consultation is carried out at the initiative of the methodologist, administration, heads of creative teams in the course of organizing and conducting specific cultural and leisure programs. The competence of the methodologist is manifested in the prompt response to the miscalculations made and in the provision of immediate assistance.
Mentoring is used in work with young specialists of cultural and leisure institutions, as well as in the development of effective best practices. This type of assistance is based on the data of problematic self-analysis of the activities of the organizer of cultural and leisure work, analysis of the process and conditions for testing new methods, cultural programs, etc.
In the practice of institutions of the cultural and leisure sphere, the following approaches have developed to maintaining methodological documentation on advisory issues: in the methodological office, methodologists keep records in the “Journal of Advisory Assistance to Employees”. Journal form: types of advisory assistance provided; Name of the methodologist conducting the consultation; day, month, year of the consultation; Full name of the employee receiving the consultation and his feedback on the consultation received, an application for the next thematic consultation; murals of the counselee and the methodologist in the magazine.
Methodological guide is expressed in a clear definition by the methodologist together with the cultural organizers of the promising and specific goals of joint creative activity, the appropriate ways to achieve them, outlines the stages and order of organization educational activities, develops criteria and performance indicators for educational activities, monitors the implementation of programs and work plans.
methodical training- this is the participation of a methodologist in the creation and work of methodological associations in cultural institutions, this is the creation of creative workshops, problematic seminars, discussion clubs, creative laboratories. These means of activity allow to increase professional competence personnel of cultural and leisure work, to replenish the methodological fund, to expand publishing activities.
These and other means of methodological assistance are most effectively implemented in the following forms of methodological activity: theoretical seminars (reports, messages);

workshops (reports, communications);
disputes, discussions round table”, dialogue-argument, debate, forum, symposium, cassette of “ideas”, etc.);
"business games", role-playing games, simulation classes;
lectures by didactic scientists, psychologists, sociologists, speech therapists and doctors;
discussion of modern latest methods, technologies, achievements in the field of leisure organization;
discussion of individual open events or their cycle;
discussion and evaluation of author's programs and projects, methodological developments, educational teaching aids;
discussion of methods for diagnosing the development of the cultural and leisure environment;
various exhibitions, reports on self-education (reports, abstracts, development of classes);
discussion of effective best practices and recommendations for their dissemination and implementation;
competitions "Best methodologist", "Best cultural organizer of the year";
scientific and practical conferences, seminars, etc.

preliminary experimental
checking them in libraries.
