To succeed, the course requires knowledge of English at the level not lower than B2 of CEFR. In addition, students are supposed: to know the theoretical foundations of the structure of the psyche, factors and main mechanisms of personality formation; to be able to solve practical tasks, apply theoretical knowledge, own experience and educational materials when solving specific qualification tasks in the professional field; and to possess the elementary skills of forming the main regulators of activity and behavior in the group.

The discipline determines the meaning of outdoor education methods, their essence and distinctive features, and highlights the peculiarities of student independent learning, as well as extracurricular educational activities in a higher education institution, students’ self-study and their research work; views extracurricular work as a set of certain forms and activities, as a form of organization of students’ leisure time, and as an organizational form carried out in the system of mixed education.

The modes of the course delivery encompass lectures, practical classes and self-study, which presuppose such activities as oral answers to the questions, presentations, practical and individual assignments, and writing a critical essay. The teaching methods include explanations, illustrations, reproduction, heuristics and research, which help develop students’ analytical skills and unlock their scientific and creative potential.

The form of summative assessment is a pass/fail grade. The pass grade is given if students score 60–100 points for their work throughout the semester, which does not presuppose any additional assessment. The students who score less than 60 points are required to do the missing assignments, which may be assessed through written tests, oral quizzes or individual written tasks. Formative assessment incorporates students’ results for all types of learning activities, incl. self-study.
