Hiking as a means of education in the pedagogical practice of the curator of a student group

Relevance is due to the lack of scientific-theoretical and scientific-practical developments aimed at studying hiking trips as a tool for the educational work of the curator of the student group.

Aim is to develop and implement an algorithm for conducting a hiking trip aimed at improving the general cultural level of development of students, their respect for nature, and the formation of cohesion of the study group.

Methodology. The paper analyzes the use of a hiking trip as a type of educational work carried out by a curator of the student group in an educational institution of higher education. It is specified that it is the educational function in curatorial work that should prevail over others, for example, scientific or supervisory.

Scientific novelty / theoretical and / or practical significance. It is proposed to prepare for a hike with a supervised group on the basis of four main stages (planning, preparation, conduct, evaluation and reflection), each of which is disclosed in more detail in the text. The purpose and objectives of the hike within the framework of educational activities are defined, while one of the tasks is to create a success situation for students in a hiking trip as a factor in the development of their personality and the formation of the cohesion of the study group. As a recommendation, the instructions “Behavior in the Baikal National Park” and “Rules of conduct of the study group on a hike” have been developed, which can be used during a preliminary briefing. There are also recommendations for organizing situations of “success” in a group during a hike.

Results. It is determined that the use of hikes as a means of implementing the educational function of the curator of the student group is given unsatisfactory attention both in practice and in the scientific literature. In connection with the above, the authors have developed and proposed an algorithm for organizing and conducting a tourist hike on a specific example of a hike with a group.

Conclusions. The goal has been achieved; an algorithm for conducting a tourist hike by a curator of the student group has been developed and implemented.
