INTERACTIVE ADAPTATION METHODS OF STUDENTS IN MODERN UNIVERSITY: BEST PRACTICES

Abstract

The urgency of the problem of pedagogical support and adaptation of students in admission to higher educational institutions is determined by the need to improve the quality of education. It depends not only on the natural abilities of students, but also on external factors - the friendly or unfriendly atmosphere that will accompany them in the educational process. The study showed that the main factors of the adaptation of students are the high level of social activity and mobile type of the human nervous system, and the activity of curators in pedagogical support of the educational process. Interactive methods for working with students have been developed for practical application. The article proposes a technique for conducting games and exercises, which were successfully tested during the ‘curatorial hour’. These exercises contribute to quick acquaintance, group cohesion, and mutual assistance, creating an atmosphere of trust, responsibility and social activity. These exercises can also be used to improve the effectiveness of the quality of education for students who are undergoing professional retraining or refresher courses. Adapting first-year students is a complex process characterized by psychophysiological content. It requires serious administrative support and pedagogical skills for the favorable adaptation of former schoolchildren to the new conditions of educational activity.
