On 25 April 2025, Inna Deriabina, the teacher of Cyclic Commission of Economics, Social Sciences, Humanities and Fundamental Disciplines, conducted a practical lesson with the use of quest technologies for students of the educational and professional degree of professional junior bachelor of the educational and professional programme ‘Transport Service Organisation’ of the study group OOTdbsr-22-1 in the discipline ‘Transport Management’ on the topic ‘Transport Process Management.’

The students were offered a plan for preparing and conducting the quest: preparation of a route sheet for the stages; preparation of questions and answers; formation of teams of students and their captains; briefing for quest participants; completion of game tasks by teams, and summing up the results. The completion of each stage of the quest resulted in the accumulation of points, which ultimately formed the scores of the quest participants.

Thanks to a constructive approach to learning, the students not only streamlined their theoretical knowledge, but also sought the best way to solve their applied problem.

Thus, the practical class, conducted in the form of a quest, provide an opportunity to immerse in the process of acquiring skills; develop individual cognitive and practical abilities of each student; maximise identification of initiative, use of individual acquired knowledge; reveal critical thinking, competitiveness and leadership among students.

The learning objectives of the class, namely: observation, the ability to search for and analyse information, increasing the general level of development, memory, developing attention and teamwork skills, were achieved. The variety of tasks helped the participants to present their team members as creative and capable job seekers who can think creatively and work in a team.

The class ensured high performance of the students. All students were involved in the work and were active and productive. This was facilitated by the effective selection of methods and forms of work, as well as the establishment of favourable and psychological conditions for effective interaction in the group and self-knowledge of students in the classroom. The purpose of the lesson was fully realised, and the expected results were achieved.
