The article is dedicated to the peculiarities of the academic lecture within the frames of the course "Methods of teaching foreign languages". It was shown that the procedure of structural modeling of a lecture embraces three stages: 1) anticipation (students reconstruct their own knowledge on the topic, a basis for the thematic construct formation is provided, motivation is created); building knowledge (students grasp academic lecture, participate in activities involving innovative teaching techniques, analyze guided learning process from the point of view of a teacher), consolidation (students cogitate upon applying the gained knowledge in a new teaching context, design teaching materials outside the class). A three-stage scheme of the lecture was grounded – “students acquire theoretical information – get experience by practicing it as studentы – review and analyze it from the point of a teacher”. The examples of group teaching techniques which encourage students to structure the lecture material and create the schemes leading to the formation of professional concepts were given. The analyses of the material developed by students was carried out and the results were presented. On the basis of the conducted research the authors drew the following conclusion. ABC is an efficient instrument for guiding teaching and learning. It helps students to clearly understand learning aims, provokes discussions, encourages creative thinking, creates the basis for pondering over the information, leads to the highest level of critical thinking.

Engineering education requires engineering practice, supervision, and experience. This paper examines some of the main elements of engineering education and its challenges in mechanical and manufacturing engineering courses. Innovative teaching and learning methods are discussed for introducing students to the engineering profession. A number of techniques and suggestions are provided to enhance the engineering education process. These include the importance of practice, audio- visual tools, and broadening the students' perspectives of ethical issues in engineering. Student feedback indicates that such an integrated approach enhances their learning. Industry- based projects help them to be better prepared for the graduate engineering profession as well as improve their communication skills. A number of such enhancements to engineering courses are highlighted in this paper.

The Core Curriculum/General Education track comprised a wide range of institutions, different areas of expertise, and levels of teaching. Institutions represented were both private and public, and four year colleges and community colleges. Participants were made up of seasoned and experienced teachers, novice teachers, and graduate students. Presenters described their innovative teaching techniques and how they could be effectively employed both inside and outside the classroom. Presentations gave rise to the discussion of various teaching methods and how to tailor the techniques to fit specific needs. In the ensuing discussion one thing became apparent. The goal of the successful teacher is to engage students in a number of ways.

SummaryThis article describes a new course for preclinical medical undergraduates designed to promote interest and engagement in psychiatry. The course employed a range of innovative teaching techniques alongside ward visits to provide students with early clinical experience. Unusually, assessment for the course involved the production of creative works as well as reflective writing about students' experiences. We collected a variety of feedback from participants showing that they found the course enjoyable and educational. We conclude that, overall, the course had a positive effect on student perceptions of psychiatry.

Los estudios formales de danza se han llevado a cabo en España en los Conservatorios, estableciéndose actualmente tres niveles de enseñanza: Elemental, Profesional y Superior. Es allí donde se llevan a cabo diversas Clases Magistrales impartidas por distintos profesionales y donde el alumno recibe técnicas innovadoras de enseñanza, pues el Estilo de Enseñanza predominante en estos centros suele ser el tradicional. En este estudio se investiga la percepción y satisfacción de 89 alumnos de enseñanzas Profesionales y Superiores en una Clase Magistral. Se utilizó una metodología mixta, con técnicas de triangulación. Los resultados muestran gran satisfacción del alumnado siendo mayor en los estudiantes de enseñanzas Superiores.Abstract.
