- "SCIENCE AND EDUCATION IN THE MODERN WORLD: CHALLENGES OF THE XXI CENTURY" NUR-SULTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, JULY 2019
| Results and discussion
In general, the project week with its organizational and structural concept has been well accepted with both students and teachers, providing a positive motivation for work in less formal learning environments. However, setting up the organisational foundations has proven to be rather challenging throughout the years, especially in case of more teachers being absent (e.g. sick leave) from the project week activities. Regarding the English and German project week group, the project week content and its implementation have always been given a positive feedback and enthusiasm from students and both mentors. Students have improved many skills, starting with the basic ones of reading and writing in a foreign language, continuing with technical skills, which have resulted in the students‘ usage of digital technology and knowledge of computer editing programmes. Generic skills that revolve around problem solving and critical thinking are best portrayed in students‘ ability to extract basic tourist informationwhen compiling a report in a foreign language or when being in front of the camera and critically approaching their performance (and correcting it if needed). The so-called ‗‗soft‘‘ skills are best represented in students‘ willingness to work and interact in teams, using primarily English (and less German) language although most of them come from different educational programmes and classes; students are open to innovative approach in using digital technology and easily adapt to the changing environment and cultural differences in another domestic or foreign tourist destination. In the field of leadership, students "SCIENCE AND EDUCATION IN THE MODERN WORLD: CHALLENGES OF THE XXI CENTURY" NUR-SULTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, JULY 2019 224 show their ability of team-building spirit and peer-to-peer mentoring, especially when compiling both a written report in a published booklet and an edited video. Equally important are managerial and entrepreneurial skills, which might pose a positive effect on students‘ leadership and communication skills and boost their self-confidence in the long term. All in all, by challenging so many different skills, the students gain access to the key competences that are integrated in the whole project week concept: 1. language competence in the sense of using English and/or German for a written report and a video; 2. intercultural ability in terms of researching and getting to know other geographical areas and cultures; 3. aesthetic competence in enabling the students to go beyond the formal framework and create something on their own (a report in a booklet and a video); 4. social competence in the sense of being able to co-operate with others and understand the meaning of teamwork; 5. information literacy in terms of using computer-aided tools and modern multimedia technologies and developing strategies to work with sources and data. The whole conference article with its theoretical background that I have explored above, has given me an insight into how valuable the project week experience always turns out to be, how much there is to gain by both students and teachers for professional and personal development and honestly, there is nothing more exciting than the next destination, the new team…another challenge. жүктеу/скачать 8,11 Mb.
