The purpose of the research is to develop, scientifically substantiate and experimentally test the methodology of business game “Organization of performance appraisal on working conditions at the enterprise”, aimed at familiarizing students with the procedure of assessing the degree of harm in the workplace of agricultural production. The result of such games can be both the direct development of personality traits and the demonstration of practical training of agricultural research engineers. Playing certain situations, involving the participants of the game in a situation of choice is a real way of developing a creative personality, namely its qualities such as creative interest, inquisitiveness, desire to know yourself, self-confidence, creative optimism. In this paper, the degree of mastering of educational material by students after conducting practical lessons in the form of the business game is analyzed in comparison with students of control groups, in which this topic was presented in a lecture form. The form of student evaluation was to answer the test tasks and descriptive questions of the module. The average scores of the 100-point system responses were compared with the results of the controls in the control groups, taking into account the overall score of the groups in the academic year.
