URBAN GAMBLING PRACTICES IN THE EDUCATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The article studies a problem of implementing urban game practices in teaching university students. The purpose of the study is to identify their educational opportunities and difficulties. The adequacy of the idea of including games in education, expressed by different teachers in different historical periods, is substantiated, the modern requirements for the learning process. The concept of “urban game practices” is defined. A positive attitude of students to game practices is revealed. Based on the opinions of students, it is shown that game practices not only improve the emotional and psychological background of the learning process, but also help to assimilate educational material, increase motivation for learning, develop communicative and supra-subject skills. The frequency of their use by teachers in the process of teaching students indirectly revealed their rarity. This fact does not indicate a negative attitude of teachers towards urban game practitioners, but rather indicates the complexity of this form of organizing classes and the poor readiness of teachers for them due to their insufficient game-technical competence and the lack of competencies of an urban teacher.
