Implementation and applying of game methods during the preparation of medical students

Abstract

At present higher educational medical institutions of Ukraine mostly continue to use conservative approaches and methods in students’education. The authoritarian style of communication between teachers and students dominates. Accordingly, in such circumstances, the implementation of the social order for preparation of a competent specialist is not always qualitative. The qualified medical specialist differs not in the way that he works, but that he works differently, doing the job better, optimizing and improving his activities. The main thing in the studies of such specialist is not a developing of certain volume of knowledge and skills, but an education of culture of professional thinking and intuition. Unfortunately, in the practice of special subjects’ teaching common are the installations for mechanical exercises and memorization. However, the teacher cannot «inlaid» anything in consciousness of future specialist. The method must be built in that way to stimulate 77 students to the active intellective actions, directed on learning of information. For a long time of using such formal system has made an impression that studying is necessarily hard work, which is counted on memorizing and total learning of educational material, often without it’s understanding. Most teachers do the educational process difficult and refuse the forward-looking formula «teach by playing», which is the basis of the methodology of famous teachers-innovators. Active methods, which create suitable conditions for the increase of creative capacity of personality, allow to approach studies to the professional activity. That helps to develop cognitive interest to the discipline. Therefore, it is important to draw the special attention on that, to interest students in educational discipline, to teach them how to determine priorities in future professional activity, to find the ways of solution of non-standard professional situations and to solve the problems of any complexity. Key words: method, preparation, medicine, competence, student.
