The head of practice from the institution of higher education was the assistant professor of the Department of History of Ukraine and Methods of Teaching History A.Z. Korolko and leading specialist of the Institute of History, Ethnology and Archeology of the Carpathians B.V. Paska.
On February 21, 2023, a final meeting on practice was held, during which A.Z. Korolko and B.V. Paska informed the students about the timely and correct documentation of industrial historical and local history practice in vocational education and training. This year, out-of-school education institutions became the bases of production historical and local history practice. Trere are Communal out-of-school education institution “Educational Innovation Center of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council”, Ivano-Frankivsk City Stepan Bandera Center for Patriotic Education of Student Youth of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council, Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State center of tourism and local history of student youth, Center of tourism and local history of student youth of Ivano-Frankivsk city council of Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ivano-Frankivsk regional branch of the Small Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Small Academy of Sciences of student youth of Ivano-Frankivsk city council.
During the meeting, there was an interesting conversation and even a discussion about the conditions of students’ practice. Ivanna Ivanivna Horyacha, a Methodist of the Small Academy of Student Youth Sciences of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council and students of SOI-21 and SOI-22 groups Solomiya Pavlyshyn, Nataliya Yakubiv, Nataliya Shepitak, Bohdan Dyachuk, Yana Kalinchuk, Marina Blyschuk, Yuliya Ivasyuta, Pavlo Tikhonyuk shared their impressions regarding practice. In particular, the students noted that during the industrial historical and local history practice, they were able to deepen and consolidate their knowledge of professional disciplines, develop pedagogical skills, and improve their methodological skills. Interns learned to observe and analyze group activities, creatively use the experience of the best leaders of group work in out-of-school education institutions.
We believe that the students qualitatively mastered the primary professional experience of historical and local history work, learned to evaluate and analyze the actions of the leader and students of the group. We hope that the young intern – the leader of group work, will be able to deepen students’ theoretical knowledge of professional disciplines and, based on individual tasks of studying the advanced pedagogical experience of leaders of group work, will develop a creative approach to pedagogical activity.
