Abstract

While studying at a higher educational institution, a student is immersed in a unique world with its own rules and laws. Training in various forms of specialization lasts from 4 to 5.5 years. During this time, the student manages to replenish his knowledge base with unique competencies and qualities that will later help to achieve successful career growth. It is obvious that getting a higher education plays a significant role in the formation of a personality, higher schools have everything necessary to test the acquired knowledge and skills. The flexibility of the curricula allows students to choose which disciplines they want to study. But before starting to function comfortably in an educational environment, students must go through adaptation. In the entire history of the existence of educational organizations, there was no higher educational institution where the student felt comfortable and cozy from the first days. This article pays special attention to the methods and forms of undergoing the adaptation period for first-year students on the example of the implementation of a number of activities taking place at the Institute No. 1 “Aviation Technology” of the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University).
