Competence-based approach while teaching fundamental science subjects at medical university

The aim of the study is to analyze the features of the competence approach application in the theoretical and natural science subjects’ teaching in medical school.Methods. The method of expert estimation is used in order to find out main tendencies and problems arising in the course of professional competencies development. The implementation of problem-oriented method in fundamental disciplines’ teaching is applied.Results. The effect of the competence approach on educational process is shown in the teaching experience of pathological anatomy and statistics. The problems and complicating factors faced by teacher are identified. The basic approaches facilitating the development of professional competencies based on a fixed time allotted for studying a particular discipline are proposed.Scientific novelty and practical significance. The proposed approaches and practical recommendations will enable to form more efficiently the competences in fundamental disciplines. The implementation of competence approach in teaching the fundamental science subjects requires adjustments of substantial and methodological levels of training including the active use of information technologies and a substantial increase in the role of seminars and self-studies. The advantage of the proposed approaches concludes in their universality: with some adjustment, they can be used in teaching other subjects, regardless of the specifics and the type of educational institution.Цель статьи – анализ особенностей применения компетентностного подхода в преподавании теоретических и естественнонаучных дисциплин в медицинском вузе. Методы. При выявлении основных тенденций и проблем, возникающих при выработке профессиональных компетенций, использовалась экспертная оценка. Для формирования компетенций по фундаментальным дисциплинам применялся проблемно-ориентированный подход к обучению. Результаты. Показано влияние компетентностного подхода на учебный процесс на примере подготовки по дисциплинам «Патологическая анатомия» и «Статистика». Описаны проблемы, возникающие у преподавателя, и факторы, осложняющие обучение. Предложены возможные варианты выработки профессиональных компетенций с учетом фиксированного времени, отпущенного на изучение конкретной дисциплины. Научная новизна и практическая значимость. Предложенные подходы и практические рекомендации позволят более эффективно формировать компетенции по фундаментальным дисциплинам. Реализация компетентностного подхода в преподавании теоретических и естественнонаучных дисциплин требует корректировки содержательного и методического уровней обучения с активным использованием информационных технологий и существенным повышением роли практических и самостоятельных занятий. Достоинство предлагаемых подходов заключается в их универсальности: при определенной адаптации они могут быть использованы для обучения другим дисциплинам независимо от специфики и вида образовательного учреждени

Computing behind the iron curtain and beyond hungarian national perspective

At the beginning of the computing era it was a great challenge to write a running program in order to solve different mathematical, statistical tasks, and to get the appropriate results by using a computer. At the university where I had began my studies we started to get acquainted with computers using a Russian made machine, named URAL 2. Looking back to the roots and thinking of the Hungarian born pioneer of computer science: the polymath John von Neumann, I had intended to deal with the history of computing at the very beginning of the eighties. Although there is a wide range of computing history literature worldwide (most of them in English), there are not any publications dealing with the Hungarian results. As I was one of the first graduates on computing taught by the Pioneers, I am forced to perform research on all materials dealing with the Hungarian achievements in computing, to protect the values of the past as long as it is not too late and also to make the results known!2nd IFIP Conference on the History of Computing and EducationRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

The Determinants of the Development of Russian Assistive Technologies Market: Analysis of Experts’ Interviews

Not all people with disabilities are provided with assistive technologies and devices (ATD) they need. The Russian researchers appeal to the development of assistive technologies, however, focus only on one specific social objective of ATD provision or on engineering, economic and production aspects of the problem. This study identifies the key determinants of the development of the assistive technologies market in Russia and trends over the next 10–15 years. We conducted a qualitative study using a grounded theory based on open and axial coding procedure. We collected data using semi-structured interviews with 12 experts recruited through snowball sampling with multiple entry points. The results show that the focus on the development of individual rehabilitation programs, individual fitting of devices, the increasing demand for measures of medical and social support for people with disabilities create conditions for the growth of demand for ATD. Changes in the paying capacity of the population, the rules of budget financing, as well as the population\u27s attitude towards the inclusion of people with disabilities in everyday activities, the labor market, education will also cause changes in demand for ATD

РАЗВИТИЕ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ КОМПЕТЕНЦИЙ СТУДЕНТОВ ВРАЧЕБНЫХ СПЕЦИАЛЬНОСТЕЙ

The goal of this paper is the analysis of information communication technologies using for professional competencies development for medical students. There are described two informational learning technologies: standard and developed in Tomsk.Virtual learning environment Moodle is open source software which is developed for on-line education and installed in more than a dozen thousands educational institutions around the world including Russia. The Moodle provides students with rapid access to professional-oriented learning information via Internet any time and through any gadget. Using the Moodle a teacher can present different types of digital information, organize learning course, student’s knowledge and skills evaluation after structuring teacher’s knowledge. Rating approach is implemented in the Moodle very easy. Developed and develo­ping resources for the Moodle are located at the server http://simcenter.ssmu.ru.Learning electronic health record (LEHR) is developing by Tomsk professional team and it is the integration of an electronic health record and a program for clinical subject. There are additional functions besides usual for paper medical record, for example: learning about specialized software, electronic re­ference books, and medical standard documents. Information and clinical competences are forming in LEHR at the same time what is the undoubted advantage for students. Now LEHR on pediatrics and neurology are testing before trial exploitation in the learning. Software for LEHR and information about virtual patients are located at the server http://students.umssoft.com.The analysis and our experience have shown the possibilities of effective using the information communication technologies for development of informational and professional competencies of medical students in different subjects of educational program.Целью данной работы является анализ возможностей и описание опыта использования информационно-коммуникационных технологий для развития профессиональных компетенций студентов врачебных специальностей.Виртуальная обучающая среда Moodle является программным продуктом с открытым исходным кодом, специально разработанным для создания онлайн-курсов преподавателями и установленным в десятке тысяч образовательных организаций по всему миру, в том числе в Российской Федерации. Обучающая среда Moodle обеспечивает студентам оперативное получение профессионально значимой образовательной информации через Интернет в любое время и через любые устройства. Преподавателю Moodle дает возможности представления цифровой информации разного типа, организации самих занятий и системы контроля при условии четкого структурирования им своих знаний. Рейтинговый подход к оцениванию знаний студентов легко реализуется в данной системе. Реализованные и находящиеся в разработке ресурсы Moodle размещены на сервере симуляционного центра СибГМУ http://simcenter.ssmu.ru.Учебная электронная медицинская карта (УЭМК) разработана творческим коллективом в г. Томске и является результатом интеграции электронной истории болезни и программ клинических дисциплин. К обычным функциям истории болезни добавляется обучение студентов навыкам работы с программным обеспечением, электронными справочниками и ознакомление со стандартной медицинской документацией. Параллельное формирование информационных и клинических компетенций студентов является несомненным достоинством УЭМК. Учебная электронная медицинская карта по педиатрии и неврологии проходит окончательное тестирование перед опытной эксплуатацией в образовательном процессе.
