“…In the research Bray (2015) a "project" is characterized, among other things, as a representation of the ideal future, which may not yet exist, but it should be. On the other hand, according to the study (Korableva, 2019), the concept of "research" is reflected by the search for the unknown ideal future (Shenoy, 2020). Consequently, for future specialists who only try to find their path in life, also in a professional sense, just the symbiosis of project and research activities can be regarded as an optimal method for studying the world around them, since in this case it is performed simultaneously: a) on the one hand, a certain -ideal‖ hypothesis is formulated, which is consistent with the studied phenomenon (process, etc.…”

Providing senior students with a basic professional education in the field of economics and management is most effective when applying a project and research activity, as well as the analysis of modern data and digital technologies methods. At the same time, introducing initial specialized education in the field of economics and managerial orientation, implemented in the "school-higher educational institution" paradigm, does not imply the formation of narrow specialists, but reveals to them actual attractive facets in a particular field, highlighting the competencies of the future profession they have chosen, different aspects of which they encounter daily. In this regard, the most important today is the transition to a more sophisticated "teacher-tutor" level of education, which helps to look at the research problem from a different angle so that the "ideal" images in senior students' minds could lead to the formulation of vital ideas which will transform the reality of the world. As a result of the studies carried out on the application of the project and research activity in the-school-university-employer‖ link, the following important features have been identified. Thus, 70% of future applicants, who realize their creative potential participating in research competitions and various contests, have the goal of entering universities of an economic and management profile. Consequently, such activities of enrollees result in the desire to change the situation for the better, including the situation in the country. Therefore, expanding the horizons of knowledge and skills at the "teacher-tutor" level for adolescents, allows them to more competently relate to finances in their family, adapt the knowledge gained to their actions and critically assess the consequences of their decisions.

BackgroundNear-peer teaching (NPT) is a special way of teaching where the tutor is one or more academic years ahead of the person being tutored. The literature agrees on the benefits of the method, but there are only a few publications examining its effectiveness using objective methods. The aim of our study was to examine the effectiveness of NPT in the training of basic surgical skills.MethodsWe included 60 volunteer students who participated in a 24-hour basic surgical skills course. Based on the results of a pre-course test, we randomly divided the students into six equal groups. All groups completed the same curriculum, with three groups being assisted by a NPT tutor. After the course, they completed the same test as at the beginning. The exams were recorded on anonymized videos and were blindly evaluated. The students’ satisfaction was monitored using a self-administered online anonymous questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests.ResultsOverall, student performance improved with completion of the course (from 119.86 to 153.55 points, p<0.01). In groups where a NPT tutor assisted, students achieved a significantly better score (37.20 vs. 30.18 points, p=0.036). The difference was prominent in surgical knotting tasks (14.73 vs. 9.30 points improvement, p<0.01). In cases of suturing (15.90 vs. 15.46 points) and laparoscopy (7.00 vs. 4.98 points), the presence of the NPT tutor did not significantly affect development. Based on student feedback, although students positively assessed the presence of NPT, it did not significantly improve students’ overall satisfaction.ConclusionsOverall, the use of NPT had a positive impact on student development. An outstanding difference was observed in connection with knotting techniques. The teaching of knot tying requires a high degree of personalized attention, which can be better realized with the assistance of a NPT tutor.

“…Utilisation of peer teaching may alleviate faculty preparation and teaching burden, help learners develop teaching skills and confidence, encourage self-directed learning and reduce competitiveness amongst peers. 4 Whereas current evidence supports the use of peer teaching in areas such as clinical skills, 5 few studies have explored peer-taught pharmacology. 6 Although it is suggested that peer-taught pharmacology is as effective as conventional faculty-led teaching in terms of improving student knowledge, 7 learner acceptability of peer teaching may be affected by perceived increased workloads and scepticism towards peer-tutor credibility.…”

Background: Peer teaching involves learners at the same level in their academic career aiding each other's education. In medical education, it has had success in clinical and procedural skills; we set out to design a pharmacology peer teaching initiative and evaluate its acceptability and value as a learning tool.Approach: Second-year medical students (n = 62) were invited to participate in a peer-led pharmacology educational initiative over 2 months. Students created PowerPoint presentations on medications using Pecha Kucha principles (automatic slide advancement that emphasises concision through time and content limitations to sustain the audience's attention). Presentations occurred over eight, 1-hour sessions, facilitated by senior academics. Evaluation:The evaluation consisted of an anonymous questionnaire with 10 Likertscale questions and two open-ended questions on the learners' perceptions of feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness in improving knowledge, teaching and independent learning skills. Fifty-three students presented at well-attended sessions.
