INNOVATIVE METHODS IN TEACHING PEDIATRICS TO STUDENTS OF HIGHER MEDICAL EDUCATION IN V AND VI YEARS: DIALOGUE TEACHING

Abstract

The article substantiates the need to fi nd and implement the latest learning technologies for students of higher medical education in the context of modern circumstances in Ukraine, which have caused the situation that a certain part of teaching is conducted remotely. This reduces the possibility for students to acquire the competencies defi ned by the discipline program. The principles of teaching with the use of dialogue technology were analyzed according to the literature. The positive eff ects of dialogue training on the development of communicative skills, the ability to express one’s thoughts and ideas, and to listento others have been identifi ed. Meaningful dialogue contributes to a deeper understanding of the educational material and can be used as a basis for solving problem situations, working in groups, using the case method, in project technology. In addition, a dialogic approach to learning is an opportunity to support the development of critical thinking. Certain problems in the introduction of dialogic technology in higher medical education are also pointed out: the presence of diagnostic and treatment protocols in medicine somewhat limits discussions in the educational process. The implementation of the principles of dialogical learning in pediatrics teaching at the fi nal stages of higher medical education and in students’ research work is demonstrated.Conclusions. The search for alternative methods of education in higher medical education institutions is an urgent problem today. The dialogical method of learning, as a progressive method, should be included in the teaching process, as a method that promotes self-criticism, the development of students’ communicative skills, and has a positive infl uence on cognitive activity. Eff ective dialog among students and between students and teachers is possible in any variant of the educational process: in the classroom, at a distance and in a mixed format. The successful implementation of the dialogical teaching method in clinical teaching requires its thorough methodical development. Scientifi c activity of students can be considered as one of the options ofdialogical education.
