Pedagogical workshop "Student Summer 2025"

    The third-year students of the Municipal Institution ‘’Balta Pedagogical Vocational College‘’ of the educational and professional degree ‘’Professional Junior Bachelor‘’ and the educational and qualification degree ‘’Bachelor‘’ will soon begin their summer teaching practice in health centres. It is during the summer internship that students can fully demonstrate their abilities and professional competences, as they will work independently as an organising teacher or a tutor of a children's group during the entire shift. So the teachers are faced with an important question: how best to prepare students for summer practice? That is why the college traditionally organises electives and a pedagogical workshop on theoretical and practical training of creative, imaginative, talented counsellors who can make children's lives interesting and full of bright pages of summer holidays. The elective classes help to generalise the psychological and pedagogical knowledge, professional skills and abilities to work with children during summer recreation and rehabilitation.

  The pedagogical workshop, which is held for one week, develops students' ability to organise and conduct educational events, holidays, quests, and competitions. The topics of such events are varied. Today, under martial law, most of them are patriotic in nature. The video presentation "We Believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine", the drawing competition "I Love My Motherland", the organised fireworks show "We are your children, Ukraine!", a sports festival "Brave Patriots", a poster contest "We live by the dream of peace", a military sports quest "Everything will be Ukraine!", a scrabble game "I love my country", fairy-tale gatherings "We are from Ukraine", bookcrossing "With Ukraine in our hearts" and a number of other relevant topics. The students were eager to prepare for each day, took an active part in all the events, and showed their creativity and abilities. Creative teachers encouraged students to take an active part in all the planned events.

  Pedagogical workshop "Student Summer - 2025. Together to the Victory" left students with good impressions, unforgettable photos, and vivid video clips from the life of one week of summer recreation for children in a school playground or health centre.

  The head of the training and production practice, Pecharska V.P., gave a briefing and demonstrated samples of documentation to be kept during the practice.

  Occupational safety engineer R.V. Usov conducted a safety briefing to preserve the life and health of students during martial law.

  So the students are now looking forward to the start of their summer internship to meet the children and make their holidays interesting and meaningful.

Conference on the results of the bachelor's students'

summer pedagogical practice

In their speeches, they expressed their thoughts and opinions on the peculiarities of organizing educational work with primary school children in the summer, talked about the peculiarities of forming a temporary children's group, involving children in active recreation, collective creative activities, and preserving the lives and health of children under martial law.

Pedagogical practice is the key to professional training of education seekers

   Pedagogical practice is one of the most important components of the professional training of future primary school teachers.

  Primary school teachers and practice methodologists teach interns to creatively conduct lessons, use effective types of work, innovative teaching technologies that help students master the educational material qualitatively, develop logical thinking, creative imagination in schoolchildren.

  Each educational event, lesson, class conducted by a student is aimed at forming key competencies in students, as stipulated by the State Standard of Primary Education.

Students successfully cope with all the tasks of the practice: they are creative in drawing up notes, making visuals, selecting didactic material, creating presentations, holding morning meetings, etc. They show the ability to organize and conduct educational events, psychological and pedagogical trainings, children's competitions, games, holidays.

  Interns skillfully apply an integrated approach to studying educational material, actively use interactive forms of work aimed at developing students' life skills and creative development of the individual. A significant part of the students undergo internships in children's health centers of the State Educational Service "Artek-UA" Pushcha Vodytsia, State Educational Service "Artek-UA in Transcarpathia" village Bereznyki, State Educational Service "Artek - Prykarpattia" city Truskavets. The topics of lessons and extracurricular activities correspond to the problems caused by the war. All educational and educational work with children is patriotic in nature, permeated with faith in victory, words of gratitude to our soldiers, doctors, volunteers, and everyone who defends our country from the enemy. Interns make every effort to make children's lives interesting and active. All types of practical training of students contribute to the growth of their pedagogical skills and professional training.

eaching practice of second-year undergraduate students

    The educational and production practice of the second year students of the first bachelor's level of higher education was held on the basis of the Baltsky Lyceum No. 2 of the Baltsky City Council from December 18 to 22, 2023.

  During the pedagogical practice, the students had the opportunity to observe lessons in primary grades, familiarize themselves with the basic requirements for a teacher of the New Ukrainian School, and learned to plan individual elements of the educational process. The students successfully completed all the tasks of this type of practice, creatively approached the implementation of educational activities, and creatively designed reporting documentation.

  The management of the Baltic Lyceum No. 2 created favorable conditions for students to undergo internships, and primary school teachers willingly shared the secrets of pedagogical skills with future specialists.

  The students were once again convinced that the profession of a primary school teacher requires professional knowledge, practical skills, patience, creativity, in order to make children's lives active, fun, and interesting every day.

  Many children have parents at war today, where, risking their lives, they defend the sovereignty of our state, protect the lives of each of us. Interesting lessons, a caring attitude of the teacher to children, and their involvement in active leisure activities are very important for students.

   Students, together with teachers, conducted educational activities, supported children during air raids, and took care of their lives and health.

    So let's continue to hold the educational front! Together to Victory!

The following important types of pedagogical practice are carried out in the I-IV courses: "Extracurricular practice", "Trial lessons", "Summer practice in health centers", "The first days of a child at school", "Continuous pre-diploma practice". All types of practice creatively complement each other, forming pedagogical competencies, theoretical knowledge and first professional skills in students.

  In connection with the implementation of the tasks of the State Standard of Primary Education, cooperation between the educational institution and general educational institutions of the city, district, and region has become even more active.

In the complex of practical training, cooperation between school teachers and college teachers plays an important role: exchange of experience in methodological associations, joint methodological meetings of primary school teachers and subject commissions, participation of school teachers in scientific and practical conferences: "The First Days of a Child at School", "Pre-diploma Practice", "Creative Reports of Summer Pedagogical Practice", etc.

  The college pays special attention to continuous pre-diploma pedagogical practice. Here, partnership pedagogy, exchange of innovative initiatives, searches, and improvements in pedagogical skills are noticeably effective. Students, under the guidance of a primary school teacher, conduct interesting lessons, educational activities, competitions, workshops, seminars, and psychological and pedagogical trainings. And at the final conference, they exchange impressions from their work during pre-diploma practice. They give valuable advice to students of other courses: to study the basics of primary education methodology, to actively attend classes in clubs, electives, and special courses, to be creative during all types of pedagogical practice. Graduates prepare a review-exhibition of their first pedagogical achievements: demonstration of video presentations and visual aids, handouts, submit samples of their notes, children's crafts, and a number of photos only complement the creative work and creative ideas of students during their pre-diploma pedagogical practice. Interns systematically organize educational work with primary school students after school hours, organize children's leisure in an interesting way: conduct puppet shows, heuristic conversations, organize excursions to nature, trips to the city museum, involve children in group work. During all types of pedagogical practice, students develop pedagogical competencies that are so necessary for a modern primary school teacher.

   Partnership pedagogy, humane pedagogy is a personal initiative of each teacher and student of the college. Innovative initiatives, implementation of creative plans, creative searches, formation of professional skills are possible only when combining theoretical and practical training of future teachers.

Summer internship for students

     Under the reliable protection of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, even in wartime, the state takes care of our children and creates all the conditions for their active recreation. After all, summer is the most favorite time of the year for children. They always look forward to summer vacations, which will bring them a variety of entertainment, new friends, new emotions. Today, the doors of health centers and school playgrounds are open for children. College students are successfully completing pedagogical practice in summer health centers. The students were impressed by the pedagogical practice they undergo in the children's health camp "Artek-Prykarpattia" in Truskavets, the children's health camp "Artek-Zakarpattia", the children's health camp for the improvement and patriotic education of children and youth in the Carpathians "Sokolyata".

Interns treat each child with care, taking care of their life and health in conditions of martial law.

                                                           We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Together we bring Victory closer!

Pedagogical practice of students of the first (bachelor's) level of higher education in conditions of martial law

  Practical training of students in a pedagogical professional college is an integral part of the professional training of competitive specialists in the field of primary education.

   Due to the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, all planned types of pedagogical practice are carried out depending on the situation - in person or remotely. The war has made its own adjustments to the course of students' practical training.

 Students actively demonstrate the ability to solve professional tasks based on the computer training received. Modern information technologies allow students to work not only in person, but also create the opportunity for virtual immersion in practical activities during trial lessons and classes, during psychological and pedagogical training, and organizing work in virtual health centers.

  Since the full-scale invasion of Russia, pedagogical practice has been carried out mostly in a mixed format. This is mainly due to the form of education of primary school students. And pedagogical practice as a whole depends on the work of the primary school. The topics of the trial lessons, based on the topics, correspond to the problems caused by the war. Each lesson is permeated with our faith in victory over the enemy, words of gratitude to our soldiers, medics, volunteers, and all who defend our sovereignty: “Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, “Glory to Ukraine”, “Glory to the Heroes”, “Everything will be Ukraine”, “Together to Victory”. These sayings have become not just words, but the motto of the life of Ukrainians and take place in lessons and educational events that we conduct for students, and students, in turn, for primary school students. The students successfully coped with all types of pedagogical practice planned for the first semester.

  Student reporting documentation, diaries of pedagogical practice, characteristics from basic schools indicate that students of the first bachelor's level of higher education possess appropriate professional competencies. In their reports, students described their experience of undergoing practice in primary school. Pedagogical practice had a positive impact on the development of professional personal qualities of future specialists, who learned to consciously apply psychological and pedagogical theory in the conditions of school education and upbringing in peacetime and during martial law. Practice became an important stage in their professional self-determination. Students note that they were not mistaken in choosing their profession, that the hard work of a teacher is very interesting, requires a lot of effort to become a highly qualified specialist. In the lessons, students skillfully conducted morning meetings, interesting physical education minutes, didactic games, interesting minutes and outdoor games to develop students' attention, thinking, memory, dexterity and endurance. The practice contributed to consolidating students' interest in the teaching profession, as well as the formation of pedagogical abilities.

   Together with experienced teachers, the students looked for ways to solve problems in the modern realities of life in Ukraine - they carried out volunteer work, rallied students to collective creative activities, morally supported children during air raids, taught them to help each other and take care of those who need it in such unusual and extremely difficult situations for us. The interns always involved children in interesting educational activities, urged them to believe in victory over the enemy and bring our victory closer with their good deeds.                                                                                                                           

Continuous pedagogical practice at the teacher's workplace

   Pedagogical practice is a mandatory component of professional training of specialists. Its completion is necessary for obtaining the bachelor's qualification level, and in general is aimed at acquiring professional skills and abilities by students.

Students of the first bachelor's level undergo continuous pedagogical practice at the teacher's workplace for six weeks. This type of practice is the final link in the student's practical training, the purpose of which is the student's holistic professional training and assessment of his readiness to work with primary school students. This practice provides the student with the opportunity to fulfill the duties of a specialist in the workplace, to carry out the entire cycle of duties in his specialty, to understand the mechanism of action of the class in which the practice is conducted, the general picture of the entire object of practice. During the practice, theoretical knowledge from all disciplines of the curriculum is deepened, consolidated and realized, material is collected for completing coursework and passing qualifying exams. The skills of planning, organizing and conducting educational work in the New Ukrainian School are being improved, the skills of using innovative learning technologies are being formed, the ability to draw up lesson plans, select video presentations and select various means to achieve effective results.

In conditions of martial law, students are given the opportunity to undergo this type of practice mainly at their place of residence. Some students undergo practice at the Balta Lyceum No. 2.

Pleasant impressions from students, unforgettable photos are the result of the painstaking, creative work of the intern. This indicates that the student is to his or her liking for the chosen profession. And if the work comes from the heart, then the result will be of high quality. Loving children, loving the teaching profession, being able to overcome difficulties is the key to professional pedagogical skill.
