THE CASE STUDY METHOD AS A MODERN TECHNOLOGY OF STUDENTS-GEOLOGISTS’ PROFESSIONAL TRAINING // Pedagogical Review. 2018. Issue 4 (22). P. 97-103

One of the practiced interactive methods of teaching, which is able to give students the necessary practical knowledge, is the so-called “method of cases” or the method of specific situations, which will be discussed in this work. This method, due to its universality, is used in various areas of training of students in the educational process of higher education institutions and contributes to the formation of professional competencies. The paper disclosed the method of preparation and conduct of cases aimed at the professional activity of future geologists. The paper describes the main objectives of the case study, its structure and practical implementation, combining pedagogical goals and integrated capabilities of the University and oil and gas companies with the implementation of targets at each stage of training of students-geologists. The article presents the personal experience of training using the method of specific situations, which shows the specifics of the enterprise engaged in a complex of exploration – exploration drilling and accordingly provides some experience for students in the field of training “Applied Geology” Tyumen Industrial University. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the proposed case studies can be used in the training of student geologists in other higher education institutions.
