Within the course “Innovative Pedagogical Technologies”, and in accordance with the schedule of open classes, an open lecture was conducted with master’s students of group MOM-25 (specialization “Educational Management”).
The topic of the interactive lecture was “Blended Learning Educational Technology.” The aim of the session was to familiarize master’s students with modern models of organizing the educational process that combine traditional and digital forms of learning, as well as to develop practical skills in applying innovative pedagogical technologies among future education managers.
The session was organized according to the “Station Rotation” model of blended learning technology. At the initial stage, the master’s students were divided into three groups, each working at a separate learning station: the teacher-led station, the online learning station, and the project activity station. During the class, the groups moved sequentially from one station to another, allowing each participant to experience all learning zones and engage in different formats of educational activities.
During the lecture, several pedagogical technologies and methodological approaches were integrated: information technologies, project-based learning, the problem-based approach, as well as elements of the critical thinking development technology. Modern digital tools were used in the learning process, including Joyteka (interactive educational video), LearningApps (interactive exercises), Prezi (dynamic presentation), and Plickers (quick assessment tool).
In addition, various methodological techniques aimed at activating students’ cognitive engagement were applied, such as the case study method, the T-chart, and the KWL strategy (Know – Want to Know – Learned).
The use of the “Station Rotation” model made it possible to create an interactive educational environment in which master’s students had the opportunity not only to become familiar with the theoretical foundations of blended learning technology but also to test it in practice. Participants noted the practical orientation, effectiveness, and high level of engagement in the learning process.
Thus, the application of innovative pedagogical technologies and digital tools contributed to the active assimilation of the lecture content and the development of professional competencies of future educational managers.
