INTEGRATION OF INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES INTO THE TRAINING OF TOURISM BUSINESS SPECIALISTS: MODERN APPROACHES AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Abstract
The article explores modern approaches to training tourism business specialists through the integration of innovative pedagogical technologies into the educational process. The article considers the need to adapt educational programmes to a rapidly changing labour market, which requires highly qualified specialists who are able to work effectively in the context of globalisation and digitalisation. The main focus is on the analysis of such innovative teaching methods as contextual, simulation and problem-based learning, modular complete knowledge acquisition, distance learning and design thinking. These methods are aimed at ensuring deep knowledge acquisition, development of professional competences and creative skills of students. Contextual learning focuses on creating a learning environment that simulates real professional settings, allowing students to gain practical experience while they are still studying. Simulation-based learning, based on the use of role-playing games and simulations, promotes the development of practical skills and decision-making abilities in conditions as close to real-life as possible. Problem-based learning stimulates the development of critical thinking and analytical skills, which are key to solving complex problems in the tourism industry. The modular complete assimilation of knowledge allows the educational process to be structured in such a way that students can learn the material in stages, which improves the quality of education and individualises the approach to learning. Distance learning is seen as an effective tool to ensure continuous access to educational resources and professional development, especially in the context of the pandemic and the development of digital technologies. Design thinking, in turn, contributes to the development of an innovative approach to creating customer-focused tourism products. The article emphasises the importance of integrating these methods into the training of tourism business specialists, which allows improving the quality of training and ensuring that graduates are ready to work effectively in the modern tourism market. It is concluded that the use of innovative pedagogical technologies is a key factor in the formation of competitive professionals who are able to adapt to the challenges of time and implement the latest solutions in their activities. This article will be useful for teachers, educational managers, researchers and anyone interested in current trends in training for the tourism business.
