Biography of Viktor Shatalov

Viktor Fedorovich Shatalov was born on May 1 of the year in the city of Stalin today - Donetsk. I went to school here. At the end of the Great Patriotic War, he was in the army and took part in the war with Japan in the Far East in the year. Demobilized, Victor returned to his hometown, graduated from a pedagogical institute here and began working as a teacher in one of the schools.

Almost from the very beginning of his professional activity, he was bothered by the issue related to the principles of training. He perceived many basic principles of study in the Soviet school ambiguously and even questioned their solidity, for which he constantly had a significant part of the colleagues of harsh critics in the person. Nevertheless, Shatalov began the search for those methods that subsequently formed the basis of its author's training system.

Its essence was simple, but demanded certain skills from the teacher. It was reduced in general terms that the knowledge was presented in the lessons in the form of a teacher’s story, records on the board and notes, which were based on schemes, tables of key terms, phrases mathematical calculations, etc. Such a summary - the fruit of the painstaking work of the teacher during preparation for the lesson, did not take up much space and was quite simple in memorization.

The result was the report of the required and even exceeding the necessary volume of the material with a minimum amount of records in order to ensure this knowledge as efficiently and quickly fixed in memory. The verbal-visual method was used. In addition, Shatalov insisted that one cannot demand from the student to understand and remember the material at the same time. In the lesson, he must understand the material through the teacher’s story and recordings on the board, and then transfer these notes to his notebook.
