The article analyzes the experience of organizing project activities in teaching educational robotics to bachelors, future teachers of informatics. The main methodological possibilities of using this method for the formation of basic competencies are considered: the foundations of design, programming, the ability to work with the online constructor TRIK Studio, as well as the development of skills for collective research activities. The article formulates the stages of work on the project and the functions of its participants within the discipline «Educational robotics». The analysis of projects completed by students in the online constructor TRIK Studio was also carried out: the movement of the robot in a circle, along a line and along a maze. Based on the experience of using project activities, certain aspects of the implementation of project activities in teaching students have been established. Project activity allows you to implement your ideas and analyze the results of research, i.e., acquire new knowledge and skills that cannot be acquired using theoretical teaching methods.

Education In China

Facilitated by the explosion of technologies, globalization is the catalyst for many changes in society and its workings. Higher education is no exception. In the present chapter from a teaching methods perspective, the authors consider China's higher education system and the transformations it is undergoing, largely as a response to globalization. Given that the employment capabilities of graduates are influenced by teaching methods they experienced throughout their education, and in turn, once gaining employment graduates' capabilities make some on the nation, it is appropriate and useful to adopt a teaching methods perspective on educational transformation. Thus, to further understanding of the status of teaching methods in China, the chapter reports on a study comparing Chinese adult education methods with Western educational methods. A conceptual framework of the principles of andragogy is used. The study results, consistent with other literature of adult education in China, indicate that some andragogical elements are used by Chinese educators.

This paper discusses the structure of Adult Education programmes and, on the basis of experiential and intuitive considerations, attempts to construct a schema of relationships between the lecture, the didactic presentation of materials, and the former. Consequently, a research agenda has been proposed. The paper concludes that the lecture is not an appropriate and effective instructional method in adult education. However, in certain circumstances, particularly with University Extension Programmes, the lecture may be an effective and expedient approach for conveying information to adults if it is properly used. Finally, adult education training agencies are called upon to intensify the use of group approaches and activity-teaching methods and techniques in their training programmes.
