An Example of Good Practice of Professional Cooperation

between a Teacher of the Mechanical Engineering Subject
Group and a Teacher of Child Health Care

Learning as a process of acquiring knowledge and skills is one of the most important ways in
which students get to know the world around them. In order for learning to be effective, students
should be encouraged to progress and be given a sense of control over their own learning
process. The traditional form of teaching imposes the same, dominantly frontal way of working
on all students, without respecting their personalities, competencies, attitudes and thinking.
Conveying the learned content to peers from other professions is one of the best ways to confirm
whether the desired teaching content has been learned.
Giving lectures and demonstrating practical works to peers from other professions and going to
an unfamiliar environment always represents a challenge. By putting students in the role of
lecturers for students who know very little or almost nothing about their profession, it gives
importance, a sense of security and self-confidence in their own choice of profession. Teachers
prepare students by teaching skills in the office before working directly with patients and
customers. This includes preparation for professional communication, professional appearance
and orderliness, compliance with ethical principles, keeping documentation, protective
measures at work and other features of the ethical code of the school and profession. A good
psychosocial environment of the place where the exercises are performed will enable students
to successfully overcome and overcome the negative effects and fears that may be caused by
contact with a hitherto unknown situation and space. Nurses and other employees of pediatric
clinics have highly developed empathy and communication skills, which are considered the
basis of patient care. Car mechanics, car mechatronics and car body workers must also have
developed empathy skills and communication skills with future customers and other co-
workers. By practicing and exchanging experiences with different professions, it is only
possible to strengthen all these competencies and promote future development and progress.
During the skills exchange project organized by subject teachers, the students of the Electrical
Engineering Vocational School and Vinogradska Nursing School acquire extended psychosocial
skills by learning according to the model of direct presentation by their peers and participate in
the popularization and connection of different branches of vocational education. In this way,
students acquire an extremely positive attitude towards other professions, develop the concept
of skills, empathy and professional communication.

Key words: students, nurses, car profession, empathy, communication skills
