Methodologies

“Give children a computer and Internet access, and a group of kids will teach themselves and build their and our future. The role of the adult (the teacher) in the classroom is to show interest in them and most importantly, to encourage them… there is no need to interfere. The traditional role of a teacher is gone…” (Prof. Sugata Mitra)
10MinSchool is a pedagogical, technological and social educational venture established to help students worldwide in achieving better academic results.
We believe it is our duty to provide young school graduates with such learning skills, as independence, cognitive flexibility, proactive approach and responsibility for learning, so that they would be able to adapt to the conditions and changes in the future adult environment.

Using state-of-the-art coding capabilities, 10MinSchool’s platform enables each student to work in a completely personalized environment, tailored to his curriculum and learning program. Methodologies developed over years of research by our pedagogical experts enable our self-learning platform to constantly track student behavior and achievements, and proactively provide students with the specific lessons, questionnaires and tools to enhance their learning experience.

10MinSchool specializes in producing complete online courses divided into short lessons. We have developed a unique pedagogical methodology, which utilizes a vast library with thousands of proprietary videos of all disciplines, suitable for any level of education, and tailored in each country to fit the most updated local formal curriculum.
Each video-lesson is adjusted to match the optimal attention-span of modern-day “screenagers”, and is about 10 minutes long.
Studies have shown that dividing the content into small segments improves concentration and focus while learning. Furthermore, dividing the material into small units of information makes it easier for students to identify the component they are looking for.
Our video lessons can help students prepare for a lesson, be implemented as part of the flipped classroom method or used for homework assistance, preparation for exams, and catch-up with study material.
All videos are filmed in an advanced studio by professional teachers and edited under expert pedagogical supervision.

Aiming at allowing each student to learn from the best teachers, regardless of geographical location and socioeconomic status, on top of the comprehensive video-lesson library, 10MinSchool has also developed an innovative system for conducting high-quality online lessons for individuals and groups. The systems includes:
• Video and audio communication between the teacher and lesson participants.
• Smart panel that allows free writing.
• File upload and multiple panels for each online meeting.
• Compatibility with all browsers and platforms.
• Option for private (one-on-one) or group online lessons.
• Online communication is managed by the teacher, who provides options for the student’s participation, etc.

Over time, we have noticed that the number of students surfing the website is growing and that they are thirsty for knowledge. Accordingly, we have established an Information Communication and Technology Center, which allows professional teachers to answer questions regarding homework, help prepare for exams, etc.
We operate municipal and school ICT centers in accordance with requirements of the local authority or a specific school. ICT Centers’ working hours and learning material are determined by school administration.

We believe that education is the key to success that may help closing the socioeconomic gaps. Quality education should be accessible to every student, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Each student can use 10MinSchool’s learning system throughout the year and study any subject, with no limitation.
It is therefore part of our policy to offer subscriptions at minimal costs. Year-round access to the entire video library, providing thousands of targeted lessons of the entire curriculum, is priced at the cost of merely two private lessons on the local market.

As an education venture striving for excellence, we make sure to stay up-to-date with the curriculums of all countries, in which we operate, while producing additional videos on a constant basis, upon necessity.
Our staff of professional educators keeps on dreaming and constantly challenging our production and technology teams, led by a comprehensive pedagogical vision that puts the student in the center.
We are always developing new additions to our environment. You are welcome to share your insights, comments and ideas with us.
