New approach to 3D modelling of virtual educational environment for biotechnology students

This paper explores a novel approach to university education, driven by the increasing technological sophistication and modernization of the educational process in higher education, as well as the need to address objectives set forth by the Priority-2030 project. It is recognized that mastering modern biotechnologies is impossible without proficiency in English, the primary language of international science. However, traditional education often segregates "language" and "disciplinary content." The proposed approach bridges this gap by integrating the study of biotechnological systems through English for Specific Purposes. This method is expected to foster a deep understanding of contemporary biotechnological processes. Digitalization of higher education, along with the imperative to develop the creative potential of each learner, has prompted a search for innovative teaching formats, methodological approaches, and cost-effective solutions to achieve project objectives. Considering that trainees choose educational programs based on their interests and abilities, their professional training and acquired skills should be tailored to individual needs while simultaneously meeting labor market demands and future employment opportunities. The authors aim to substantiate the use of this new concept, outlining the theoretical foundations underpinning the proposed approach, describing its advantages, providing examples of new-format assignments, and demonstrating its economic viability for implementation in an agricultural university. The results of the pilot phase of the experiment, involving 28 students, are presented, showcasing its effectiveness both in achieving educational objectives and enhancing the competitiveness of future graduates in the labor market.
