An important component of the educational program is to ensure professional erudition, development of clinical thinking (CT), the formation of students' basic practical skills. In the year of the pandemic, it is especially difficult to really promote the development of these components of professional development in students, and modern pedagogical teaching methods, despite their effectiveness in the offline learning process, need development, improvement during distance learning. The need for the formation of CT students was determined by the founders of medicine many centuries ago, important in the creation of professional thinking was the psychological and pedagogical relationship "teacher-student-patient". Unfortunately, today this chain is lost, but the need to form analytical and exploratory thinking in medical students is extremely important, so it is necessary to revise and analyze the pedagogical methodology for modernization and use in distance learning. CT is an element of future professional activity with the help of which an algorithm of actions in specific clinical situations is created, it is the ability to identify and analyze, as well as to search and evaluate relevant information to achieve the appropriate conclusion. This article tries to conduct a conceptual analysis of the pedagogical methodology of CT formation and the possibility of their application in the conditions of distance learning of the discipline "obstetrics and gynecology". New technological programs are necessary for modeling simulation training. The main tasks of higher medical school are to achieve maximum development of intellectual abilities of the student, in the online format this can be achieved through the use of "virtual patients", situational tasks and cases, game techniques and clarity. However, methods of CT assessment and finding a strategy for its development are also important, as it is a key element of doctors' daily practice. In the 21st century, students need to think through their development, be able to work in teams, distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information from the patient, and be multilingual and highly developed so that they can be effective in all disciplines. These are the characteristics that are expected of modern medical students. However, when faced with unspecified emergencies, they are unable to make the right clinical decisions, leading to accidents. The reason for this is the lack of CT skills among young doctors, so the formation begins in school, adapting to the conditions created by the pandemic. Medical schools should teach the principles of scientific methodology and evidence-based medicine, including analytical and critical thinking, throughout the curriculum. It is important to develop a professional algorithm for the development of CT in each teacher, in order to rely on the development stimulus not only on the theoretical basis of students, but also on the ability to analyze clinical situations, and what is important to act properly algorithmically. Attention should be paid to the psychological and pedagogical aspects and approaches to the development of each student in particular. Moreover, there is no consensus on the most effective learning model for teaching CT skills and clinical considerations, and this skill is not effectively tested in medical schools, so the analysis of existing methods and their application in distance learning is extremely important.
The article discusses the problem of light verb constructions in contemporary English on the basis of novels ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ by J.K. Rowling. We (the authors) state that most of light verb constructions denote either semelfactive or multiplicative meanings within the framework of Smith’s (1997) theory of aspect in which five situation types, namely states, activities, achievements, accomplishments, and semelfactives are distinguished. The aspectual meaning of a light verb construction is concentrated in its nominal component which can be proved by the existence of for, with-phrases like for a better look, where the verbal component is omitted. The singular of the deverbal noun indicates a semelfactive meaning, whereas the plural form expresses a multiplicative one. The verbal component in such constructions may be represented by ‘light’ verbs such as take, have, make, do, give or ‘heavy’ verbs like cast, draw, shoot etc. The qualitative characteristics of light verb constructions can be intensified by prepositive and postpositive modifiers such as quick, short, sharp etc. On the basis of novels ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ by J.K. Rowling 97 and 115 light verb constructions have been singled out and analyzed respectively. The results of the research contribute to the study of verbal plurality in English.
Hoy en día, las escuelas superiores de medicina de Ucrania tienen demanda entre los estudiantes extranjeros, cuya composición nacional está cambiando en un corto período de tiempo. En consecuencia, los motivos para la admisión de los estudiantes cambian. El documento presenta los resultados de la investigación realizada en el año académico 2017-2018 sobre la base de las facultades médicas de la Universidad Médica Nacional Memorial Pirogov, Vinnytsya y la Universidad Médica Nacional Ivano-Frankivsk. Se han identificado los motivos que llevaron a los estudiantes a abandonar sus países de origen y estudiar en el extranjero, en particular en Ucrania, así como los motivos para elegir una profesión médica. Además, se determinaron las preferencias de carrera de los estudiantes de segundo año.
Introduction. According to the organization of the educational process for part-time students of the Faculty of Pharmacy at IFNMU, the academic year can be divided into the session and intersession periods. While studying at the university, the student acquires knowledge either under the guidance of a teacher or independently. Part-time studying at the Pharmacy Faculty involves allocating a significant part of the student's time to self-done training, especially in the intersession period. The student learns the theoretical material from the discipline, which will be discussed in the upcoming period of the session independently and must present the result of the study before the beginning of the session. The form of control of the student's self preparation during the intersession period is the testing of the covered theoretical material of each discipline. Taking into account the need to ensure a certain set of conditions in which the student and the supervising teacher are during this intersession period, there is a need to choose a reliable tool for the implementation of this kind of testing. The results. The current state of development of information technologies in education allows automatic control measures of the educational process at a fairly good level. The involvement of highly professional tools in conducting student testing requires significant time investment and specialized knowledge of the appropriate software, both for the teacher who develops such testing, and for the student himself as a user. If to focus on ensuring certain conditions such as online testing; performing automatic assessment and the possibility of checking the mistakes made by the student; identify the student by personal account and manage access to testing; adhere to clear testing intervals; to fill test questions with mathematical formulas, it is worth noting the functions of MS Forms from the Office 365 cloud environment toolset. It is known that MS Forms from the suite of tools of the Office 365 cloud environment is mainly used for surveys or collecting the necessary information, but it can also be adapted for testing. However, the functionality of MS Forms is not limited to this only. In this case, the question arises that the form can not only receive answers, but also compare them with the correct ones and make their automatic evaluation. Important criteria for choosing a testing environment that is convenient for the student are the ability to take the test for free, without additional software and online. Since IFNMU uses the Office 365 cloud environment in the organization of the educational process under the terms of subscription, it is worth considering the MS Forms tool in this aspect. It will allow every part-time student to take the test in the intersession period remotely. However, there are a few disadvantages in the use of MS Forms when testing students in the intersession period. Conclusions. The use of tools of the Office 365 environment, namely MS Forms, during the testing of part-time students of the Faculty of Pharmacy allows you to automate the process of conducting control measures of self-studied theoretical material in the intersession period. Despite certain disadvantages, it is still possible to adapt MS Forms to the organization of student testing, taking into account the possibility of coping with current conditions.
