Student Training in Czechia (GOODWILL)

 Student Training in Czechia (GOODWILL)

In the autumn of 2024 we started training students to promote innovative approaches in teaching. As we have students in Tourism and Foreign Trade, we sought to diversify the events to benefit both of these groups. The programme was prepared by lecturers in collaboration with professionals from companies. Students learned new approaches to education and acquired new didactic methods. A practical outcome was the validation of the acquired skills in the implementation of a workshop for the students of the Senior Academy at the Goodwill College of Higher Education.

The preparation started with visits to the exhibition of sculptor David Moješčík (figurative work with smooth lines of the human body) at the castle in Frýdek-Místek and also to the Chagall Art Centre in Ostrava. Students not only got acquainted with the artworks, but also learned about the methods of didactics of gallery pedagogy, especially with a focus on animation actions. The program was conducted under the guidance of the gallery owner Mr. Petr Pavliňák.


Under the guidance of the History of Art teacher, they verified their knowledge in the school gallery. The students practiced how to conduct an animation program in the gallery.


Since the training was to culminate in the organization of the event, we invited Ms. Radka Kulichová, who is involved in the organization of the International Folklore Festival in Frýdek-Místek. Ms. Kulichová discussed with the students the organization of the cultural event point by point.

  

In cooperation with Lenzing Business Services s.r.o., two workshops were organized for our students - Project Management under the leadership of Martin Koval and Kaizen training under the leadership of IT team leader Nuno Bonito. Both events promoted creativity and innovative approaches in education. Students learned to recognize the difference between waterfall and agile project management methods through teamwork using LEGO building blocks and other tools. Teamwork was also central to understanding the Kaizen process.


The practical output was the implementation of a workshop for students of the Senior Academy. The preparation of the event was led by the teachers of the Goodwill College, the actual implementation was directed by the students, who verified in practice what they learned during the winter teaching period, especially in the field of innovative approach in education.

Students need to apply effective learning methods, to be able to use their knowledge to find an answer to a problem, to apply critical thinking, to generate unusual and innovative solutions, and to find solutions to real problem situations.

More than twenty students took part in a discussion on the importance of creativity and the benefits of developing creativity skills in their professional careers. Creativity was analysed as the ability to look at tasks and problems in a new way, emphasizing methods of generating ideas and divergent thinking, repeating problems, etc. The training raised discussion questions on whether creativity can be managed and developed. There was also a strong emphasis on individual and group approaches to creativity.
