Filippova Svetlana Nikolaevna, Associate Professor of the Department of Cell Biology and Plant Bioengineering, Faculty of Biology, BSU«I have always been lacking in some kind of creative, uncommon approach in my teaching activities. I felt that within the framework of the generally accepted and well-known patterns of organizing the educational process, I was not fully unveiling my creative potential. It was similar to some invisible barrier that I was sure I couldn't cross. However, during the seminars it turned out, that it was possible, in such a great way!»
Yemelyanovich Olga Victorovna, Deputy Dean on voluntary basis, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Public Administration, Law Faculty, BSU«The major result of my work is the achievements of my students. Personally, punctual and high-quality fulfillment of tasks and a creative approach are highly important. After completing interactive tasks, it is significant for me to feel personal progress. When I see the students' progress I am contented by results of our collaborative work.»
Korshuk Victoria Vladimirovna, Associate Professor, Deputy Dean for International Affairs and Internationalization of Education, Faculty of Journalism, BSU«<...> I managed to acquire the theoretical bases of the methodology of heuristic learning and develop heuristic general tasks <...>. Through heuristic learning, it is possible to perfectly analyze the particularity of the media landscape <...> and also create new knowledge adapted to the conditions of future professional students' practice.»
Sergeeva Victoria Vladimirovna, Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and Practice of Translation, Faculty of Socio and Cultural Communications, BSU«I felt as if I were the inventor of a pioneer aircraft, a person who registered all the stages of its creation and was looking forward to its first launch. <...> The main individual result of participating in the course is to develop one's own set of creative heuristic tasks that awaken students' interest in learning, encourage creativity and allow to fulfil themselves. »
Tolstonogova Irina Viktorovna, Senior Lecturer, Department of International Journalism, Faculty of Journalism, BSU«After completing the task, there is a pleasant creative tiredness that you want to experience more and more. On the one hand, the process of creating a heuristic lesson is very exciting, on the other hand it is quite difficult and time-consuming. Such an "oxymoron" of pedagogical activity will certainly allow you to diversify not only the academic process itself, but also the preparation for it, which sometimes turns into a routine. »
Vasilenko Svetlana Leonidovna, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Head of the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Biology, BSU«The main quality, which, I hope, I managed to develop during the work, is the struggle with my own mindset which always doubts everything new and returns to a rational, rather than heuristic framework. I really enjoyed the lectures of Korol A.D., his way of presenting the material and the style of working with the audience.»
Hiarnovich Tatyana Dmitrievna, Associate Professor, Associate Professor of the Source Study Department, Faculty of History, BSU«The purpose and content of this course are crucial for a higher school teacher, as they allow teaching everyone to take into account individual characteristics, develop the most important creative and research skills. <...>I wish my colleagues not to stop there and master their acquired skills.»
Koneva Natalia Sergeevna, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor, Faculty of Physics, BSU«It was a discovery for me that the unexpected effect in heuristic education is given by the general cultural and value basis of the personality within both the student and the teacher. Thanks to the fulfillment of the course tasks, it was possible to add reflexive activity to my professional career and teach students to do this. In general, during the seminars, there was a creative uplift, a spirit of creativity, mutual assistance and understanding.»
Kosheleva Natalia Vladimirovna, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Ancient and Medieval History Department, Faculty of History, BSU«The thoroughly developed course, theoretical and practical parts of which genuinely complement each other. I am sure that everyone who was lucky enough to take part in this advanced training course now is capable of designing high-quality heuristic tasks. This course made us think about the general objectives of modern education, the correlation of "mass" and "elite" in it.»
Myamin Vladislav Evgenievich, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor, Faculty of Biology, BSU«I have expected to obtain new information from participating in the course, which would help to improve the quality of the subjects taught, make the information conveyed to students more interesting, and allow me to implement new approaches in teaching. I guess that all the goals have been successfully achieved. Undoubtedly, the quality of the subjects has improved significantly due to the switch to a new level. In addition, the feedback from students has become better. Now they expect something uncommon from you, both in terms of presenting information and in validating their knowledge. It can be stated that the students have become more grateful for the fact that they are given an opportunity for creativity.»
