Development of professional tolerance in medical students through professionally-oriented foreign language training

Global sociocultural transformations in the modern world are associated with expansive digitalisation and its impact on human life. Given the advantages of digital technology development, a number of significant problems arise, in particular, social differentiation, commercialisation of socionomic professions, information consumerism, emotional estrangement due to the virtualisation of communication, a shift in value orientations, replacement of traditional moral norms with their destructive simulacra. There is a clear need for intensification of educational activities in higher education focused on the humanisation of public consciousness, the promotion of social cohesion and the development of the moral backbone of an individual. Hence, it is necessary to refer to the theoretical and methodological foundations of tolerance development in students. The aim of this article is to clarify the concept of professional tolerance of a doctor and describe the strategy of its development in students in the process of foreign language training. Considering the issue of professional education of future doctors, the authors note that the vector of students’ spiritual and moral development is determined by the values, attitudes, and norms of medical ethics and deontology. Herewith, the principle of tolerance is of the basic ones since professional medical practice is based on regular interpersonal interaction. The authors define the concept of a doctor’s professional tolerance as the willingness to provide patients with high-quality medical care regardless of the heterogeneity of socio-cultural factors and subjective personal aspects. This concept assumes the doctor’s tact, empathy, psychological flexibility and poise. The proposed strategy for the development of professional medical tolerance in students via professionally-oriented foreign language training involves the holistic formation of its cognitive, affective and conative components through the educational content and the parity in subject-subject interaction. In the development of the cognitive component, considerable importance is ascribed to supplementing the basic educational materials by authentic content of social and professional orientation. The connecting link of the development of cognitive and affective components is the identification and levelling of stereotypes and prejudices regarding socially significant diseases. The basis for the development of the affective component is pedagogical tolerance, a favourable educational environment, interactive activities at classes, and the facilitation of students’ reflection. The development of the conative component of tolerance is directly tied to the development of professional communicative competence of future doctors: the study and development of various speech clichés in the format of interaction with patients; revision of politeness formulas; practicing non-verbal communication means in playing out quasi-professional situations; mastering the speech norms “plain language” and “people-first language”

USING INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF COOPERATION AMONG STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

This study inquired into the problems related to the culture of cooperation among students of non-linguistic higher education institutions and the use of interactive technologies as a solution to these problems. The relevance of the research lies in its illumination of the contradictions among the need to build communication environments that correspond with the transformation and modernization of Russian education in the Russian Federation, the insufficient theoretical elaboration of this issue, the new requirements in the field of education (Federal Law on Education in the Russian Federation as of December 29, 2012, No. 273-FZ (as amended on December 29, 2017), National Doctrine of Education of the Russian Federation until 2025, Federal State Educational Standard for Higher Education), and the inadequate preparedness of students to be subjects of their development in innovative educational contexts. This research was aimed at theoretically justifying the development of a cooperative culture among students using interactive technologies. Its methodological foundations were the provisions and principles of personality-oriented, competency-based approaches and the underpinnings of intercultural competence. The study’s theoretical significance is reflected by (1) its integration of pedagogical technologies on the basis of the cultivation of desired educational situations and the implementation of educational technologies in collaboration with interactive innovations and by (2) the transition from informational and explanatory education to the innovatively effective adoption of interactive technologies in the educational process, which also involves developmental and personal orientations. The research’s practical significance lies in its development and organization of experimental work on the evolution of the aforementioned cooperative culture. In the experiment, interactive pedagogical technologies for English teaching, such as case methods, project approaches, role play, business-oriented games, and debates were modified and tested. The ways by which these technologies can be effectively used in higher education institutions were formulated, thereby enabling students to cultivate business collaboration skills, which are important for their future professional careers.Este estudo investigou os problemas relacionados com a cultura de cooperação entre estudantes de instituições de ensino superior não linguístico e o uso de tecnologias interactivas como solução para estes problemas.
