Abstract
The international experience shows that the mechanism of the WorldSkills competitive movement contributes to the development of the vocational education system. The study aimed to consider the Russian competition movement Worldskills Russia (WSR), as part of the international movement in terms of research problems: what is the pedagogical potential of WSR technologies and how effectively it provides the formation of the necessary professional and general competencies of students of secondary vocational institutions in blended learning (for example, medical college). The subject of the analysis was Russian and foreign research related to the formation of the competition movement; special attention was paid on materials that reveal the use of WSR technologies in educational institutions of the secondary vocational education system. The questionnaire was used to get students’ vision of WSR, their motivation for participating in the WSR. It was determined that the development processes of WSR included: the formation of the legislative framework; the allocation and use of significant state budget funds for professional training of teachers with the receipt of certificates of WSR Experts; significant costs for conducting exams according to the WSR standard, aimed at increasing the competitiveness of specialists for the innovative economy of the Russian Federation. A survey of medical college students shows that the involvement of the student audience in professional competitions is not ubiquitous; only 24.6% of first-year students of the first-year vocational education system are informed about the WSR movement. Only 16.9% of students were motivated to participate in Worldskills competitions. The integration of Worldskills technologies into the educational process in the blended learning model, along with project activities, ensures the formation of the necessary professional and general competencies of students of secondary vocational institutions. Methodological guidelines for the practice of vocational education in preparation for Worldskills require the solution of a set of related pedagogical and didactic problems. The research results can be used in the educational process of the secondary vocational education system.
Highlights
One of the effective world educational guidelines that meet the needs of the innovative educational doctrine in the training of competitive specialists is the use of the potential of the Worldskills competition movement, due to which the demand factor formed by employers for the demanded and predicted professions will be satisfied
In the conditions of the GAPOU NSO “Novosibirsk Medical College”, for the training of specialists majoring in “Medical laboratory technician” specialty 31.02.03 “Laboratory diagnostics” of the SPE system, practical tasks were included taking into account the Federal State Educational Standard, Worldskills Russia (WSR) standards and professional standards in the field of knowledge, skills and practical experience in the disciplines “Chemistry” to prepare the 1st year students for the WSR demonstration exams in competence R 2 “Laboratory medical analysis”
Blended learning of the “flipped class” model was used with the integration of massive open online courses (MOOCs) resources, which made it possible to adjust the content of the educational program, provide multimedia content with relevant materials on achievements in the field of natural sciences, increasing the effectiveness of learning and student engagement in project activities
Summary
One of the effective world educational guidelines that meet the needs of the innovative educational doctrine in the training of competitive specialists is the use of the potential of the Worldskills competition movement, due to which the demand factor formed by employers for the demanded and predicted professions will be satisfied. WorldSkills provides new opportunities for a comparable assessment of results in vocational education [6]. It is suggested that the competitive movement “warms up” interest in professional activity and promotes increased motivation to study the necessary disciplines. The study aimed to consider the influence of WS technologies on the formation of the necessary competencies of students of secondary vocational institutions with blended learning (for example, a medical college)
