A conference was held at the Faculty of Philology of Vasyl Stefanyk National University of Prykarpattia, which summarized the results of the educational and pedagogical practice of students of specialties 014.01 secondary education (Ukrainian language and literature) and 035.01 philology (Ukrainian language and literature), which lasted from 04.03.2023 to 12.05.2023.
The head of practice, director of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Ukrainian Studies, assistant professor of the Department of General and German Linguistics, Valentina Greschuk, gave a welcome speech, who emphasized the high results of students during the practice, gave a general assessment of their work, thoroughly explained the problematic points that arose during practices, and stimulated students to further improve their skills. The methodologists of the Department of Ukrainian Language also noted the high level of practical experience, namely: professors Vasyl Hreshchuk, Volodymyr Barchuk, Maria Golyanich and assistant professors Iryna Dzhochka, Lyubov Pena, Roksolana Stefurak, who properly assessed not only the students’ professional knowledge, but also noted their ability to work in non-standard conditions of mixed learning, work with inclusive students and such an innovation in the educational process as “Intellect of Ukraine” classes.
Students willingly reported on the results of their work on practice bases. The report of each group was accompanied by presentations in which interns provided information on the conduct of lessons, extracurricular and educational activities. It is worth noting that the subject of educational and extracurricular activities was very diverse and relevant. Students-interns tried during the events to instill love for their native land and language, because now language is a weapon in the hands of each of us. The interns did not forget the importance of patriotic education and reminding the students of gratitude to our soldiers, because it was thanks to them that they had the opportunity to do the internship and gain valuable experience. Students enthusiastically talked about their impressions, most of them noted that they received a lot of positive emotions while working with students, improved their pedagogical skills and were convinced that they had chosen the right profession.
The students of higher education emphasized that the internship for them became that episode in their life, about which only warm memories will remain, because they gained valuable experience.
