On November 1 and 3 of this year, as part of the vacation school at the Faculty of Secondary Vocational Education of Amur State University of Humanities and Pedagogy, a career guidance event was held - the quest game "Time to choose! ...". Choosing a profession in everyone's life is, to a certain extent, a choice of fate. And if we consider that the world of professions at the beginning of the 21st century has grown to 40 thousand, then it is clear that every year it becomes more and more difficult to choose the occupation of your life, so that it is both to your taste and to your shoulder.
During the quest game, the best sides of the "teacher" and "educator" professions were revealed through various tasks. At the first station, first-year students Vladislav Dmitrochenko and Violetta Dushkina told a brief history of the emergence of the teaching profession and its characteristics. The task for the participants of the quest game was to correlate the pictures with the category of professions, depending on the type of relationship between the person and the object of the action. Then the teams went to other stations, according to the issued itinerary: "Visiting a fairy tale", "Puzzle", "Fillword", "Auction", "Guess it" and "In a healthy body – a healthy mind!".
Evgeniya Surkova, Tatiana Bitsura, Irina Chigrin, Varvara Podoplelova, Anastasia Shcherbakova - the first-year students welcomed the participants at their stations, explained the tasks and evaluated their performance with stickers of different colors, which corresponded to scores from 3 to 5.
48 students from grades 8 to 10 of secondary schools took part in the quest game. Schools № 6, № 13, №16, № 37 and gymnasiums No. 9 and No. 45, as well as 3 students from the Sovetsko–Gavansky district from Secondary School No. 14.
The first game (November 1) was won by the “ZhKH” team, and the second (November 3) by the “Snowflakes”. Congratulations! You're doing great!
At the end of the quest game, all participants received prizes and an information booklet about our faculty.
The students gave a positive review about the event. We hope to see most of the participants of the event at the university next year as first-year students.
