Abstract

The article presents the concept of implementing the service-learning approach in a multidisciplinary university. The diversity of educational fields implemented at the university, the non-obvious connection between educational programmes and the problems of socially vulnerable groups of the population require targeted work with socially oriented NGOs to form work orders within the framework of educational activities. The article outlines a model developed taking into account the specifics of higher education institutions, which includes the systematic introduction of elements of the approach in various types of educational activities, allows to adjust the labour costs of teaching staff and to conduct a gradual immersion of students in the solution of professional problems with the development of professional competencies on cases from socially oriented non-profit organisations and partner enterprises.

The described model was tested and accepted for implementation by the Educational and Methodological Council of Kosygin Russian State University.
