FORUM-BASED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY IN BRICS+ INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION: TOWARD A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR PRACTICE- ORIENTED LEARNING

Abstract

The article presents development of organizational and pedagogical foundations for the participation of schoolchildren and students in international forums as an independent form of practice-oriented education that ensures the development of human capital, the training of a new generation of personnel and the expansion of educational cooperation among the BRICS+ countries. The author describes in detail the possibilities of a systematic approach that made it possible to consider forum educational activities as an element of a modern system of practice-oriented education. The article proposes to introduce the concept of “forum educational activity” into scientific and pedagogical circulation, which defines the participation of schoolchildren and students in international forums as an independent form of organizing the educational process. It also shows the possibilities of using the proposed approach in organizing the participation of schoolchildren and students in international forums of the BRICS+ countries and in improving the educational process by recognizing the results of such activities as part of the educational process and reflecting them in the individual student portfolio. It has been established that international forums have significant educational potential, but their opportunities in the system of practice-oriented education are not fully used. The expediency of considering forum educational activities as an independent form of organizing the educational process is substantiated. The implementation of the proposed approach will expand educational cooperation between the BRICS+ countries, increase the effectiveness of practical training for schoolchildren and students, and create conditions for taking into account the results of their participation in forums when developing educational programs.
