The Department of Pedagogy joined the Open-Door Day at NULES of Ukraine

 On November 22, 2019, the Open-Door Day was again held at NULES of Ukraine. This is the third Open-Door Day this fall. This time, the graduates of schools, high schools, gymnasiums, colleges and vocational colleges from different regions of Ukraine became guests of the University. Department of Pedagogy, headed by R.V. Sopivnyk gladly met those who came to see our University with their own eyes.

The program of the event included a meeting of the participants of the Open-Door Day, presentation of the scientific achievements of the faculties and ESIs, a meeting with the rector of the University Stanislav Nikolaenko, a speech by the responsible secretary of the admission committee, Larysa Koropets, who presented the Rules of admission to study at the NULES of Ukraine in 2020, performances of the creative teams of the Department of Cultural Studies of NULES of Ukraine, presentation of ESIs and faculties, laboratories and departments.

The future students of the Faculty for Humanities and Pedagogics were greeted by the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Shynkaruk V.D., heads of departments and deputy deans. Welcoming the youth, they presented the specialties under which specialists are trained at the faculty. They also spoke about the specialty “Vocational Education”, obtaining this specialty students would receive “two in one” - pedagogical education and professional specialization, and about the specialty “Educational, Pedagogical Sciences” (“Pedagogy of Higher School”). Future students have watched a promotional video of the faculty, prepared, incidentally, by the students themselves.

During the meeting with the graduates, which took place in the assembly hall, the University was presented to the youth by its rector - Stanislav Nikolaenko, who shared with the younger generation his own secret of success. According to the rector, the components of personal success are: 40% - good genetics, 30% - social conditions (which, among other things, give the opportunity to get a quality education in our University) and 30% - diligence. But as an illustration, Jim Collins' "From Good to Great" model is based on disciplined people, disciplined thinking and disciplined actions.

Responsible Secretary of the Admissions Committee Larysa Koropets shared her experience with the alumni committee. She described how to become a successful entrant in 2020 and drew the participants' attention to the novelties and important points of the entrance campaign. The speeches of both the rector and the secretary of the admissions committee did not leave the listeners indifferent, they had many questions. Therefore, it can be considered that the Open-Door Day was successful. Oleksandr Pavelko, Head of the Student Organization of the University, spoke enthusiastically about the fun, rich, colorful student life, interesting projects and activities. Our dear artists, with the help of colleagues from the Department of Cultural Studies, prepared a wonderful concert program, which, as always, was a "hurray."
