Simultaneous Degree Completion: TDPU initiates enrollment for novel concurrent degree program
Tomsk Pedagogical University introduces a novel bachelor's program, combining professional and higher education, designed to graduate students with two diplomas. This program, named "Professional Training (by industry), Teacher of Professional Education," is especially advantageous for vocational school graduates, who can reduce their study time due to recognized disciplines and practices.
Elena Kolesnikova, the Dean of the Technological and Economic Faculty, provides insights into the program. The aim is to prepare teachers who can effectively train workforce specialists, balancing discipline with engaging young minds. The program aligns with the curriculums of vocational schools, with the second year and part of the third dedicated to studying a specific specialty or trade.
Students who already possess a vocational school diploma in that trade can shorten their study time by a year or more. During the final year, these students engage in pedagogical practice at a relevant college, gaining practical experience which they subsequently present in their qualifying work. High school graduates can first attend a vocational school to study a profession and then obtain two diplomas—one in vocational education and another in higher education—in four years.
Another program offered at the faculty is "Pedagogical Education," with two profiles: "Technology" and "Safety of Life Activity." Educators play a pivotal role in shaping today's specialists, as they must not only convey information but also engage, inspire, and impart skills.
The program focuses on teaching students entrepreneurship, which is essential for success in technology. By creating and applying technological objects, students develop a need for entrepreneurial knowledge, preparing them for the future.
To join the program, applicants typically need to complete the application process, which involves submitting necessary documents and passing entrance exams. Budget spots range from 15 to 20, with specific requirements varying. Applicants are encouraged to contact Tomsk Pedagogical University directly for detailed information.
In recent years, the "Decorative and Applied Arts and Design" profile has been refined in professional education. For the new program, it is crucial not to miss the document submission deadline, which falls early in July.
- Enhancing the "Decorative and Applied Arts and Design" profile in the program of professional education at Tomsk Pedagogical University, Elena Kolesnikova emphasizes the significance of integration between online education and learning for effective teaching.
- As part of the "Professional Training (by industry), Teacher of Professional Education" bachelor's program, students can benefit from online education resources to gain a comprehensive understanding of their chosen specialty, supporting their ultimate goal of nurturing future generations of workforce specialists.
