The aim of the study is to analyze the formation of clusters in the system of the main forms of the educational process and relevant educational resources used in medical higher education, aimed at identifying hidden patterns in the formation of the request of medical students of 1st – 2nd and senior courses in the areas of medicine and Pediatrics. Lectures in various formats, practical classes, mobile applications, interactive online materials, and medical libraries are defined in the study by the general concept of educational resources. The problem of students’ choice of popular resources that determine the content of individual education is considered. This allowed us to assess their satisfaction and determine the involvement of various elements of clusters of educational resources in the system of mastering new materials, revising it and self-training. The analysis of the main components allows us to identify existing clusters in relation to educational resources, give them a characteristic, definition, and identify differences in structural elements within the framework of the request of students. The results obtained are of practical significance in determining the vector of development of the use of educational resources for successful learning in the new digital environment.
Today, information and communication technologies (ICT) in the field of healthcare are actively developing and improving. The technological approach in competence-based education has a high potential for modernizing and improving medical education. Due to this, medical education properly takes into account the needs of patients, the public and the expert community in the healthcare system.
