Teaching Methods

interactive methods of teaching (working in small groups (team), problem training) are organized taking into account the inclusion in the learning process of all students of the group. Joint activity means that each student makes his own individual contribution, in the course of the work there is an exchange of knowledge, ideas, methods of activity. Organized individual, steam and group work. Interactive methods are based on the principles of interaction, activity of trainees, reliance on group experience, mandatory feedback
