The article deals with the main issues of the gender aspects during scientific research activities in educational institutions. The analysis of the latest publications on the introduction of gender equality in Ukrainian society is given, with special emphasis on the observance of gender culture in institutions of higher medical education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the involvement of future physicians in research activities on the basis of gender, the dentification of possible problems and measures of their correction. The main aspects of the conceptual apparatus of the definition of “gender” and “research” in modern conditions are outlined. The emphasis was placed on the importance of gender equality in education, for the training of a qualified medical worker, in particular a future doctor. The emphasis is placed on the use of certain forms and methods that promote gender equality in the involvement of students in research, such as participation in the work of scientific problem groups, subject club, environmental team, lecture group, research groups at general and clinical departments, volunteer teams, tutoring, interdisciplinary trainings, participation in scientific student conferences, student congresses. Such methods as creative and problem tasks, research work, conducting video experiments, performing experiments, writing abstracts, preparing projects, presentations, modeling, conducting business games during the “case-study” contribute to the implementation of the above forms. The examples of tasks performed by students in a medical institution are given. Summarizing the results obtained to determine the share of those involved in research activities, we may affirm that described forms and methods promote non-discrimination based on the sex of students. The small difference (5,08%) of those involved in research among boys and girls indicates that the attention should be focused on gender aspects during the educational process. As a future research we plan to provide an immersed study considering implementation of gender policy in the practical field of health care, in particular to outline the issue of equality in the management of isolated departments and medical institutions in general.
This article is devoted to innovative learning technology, namely web quest, an effective learning tool that promotes the cognitive activity of applicants for higher medical educational institutions, focused on today’s challenges related to forming an independent, creative, competent personality. The main attention is paid to using quests in studying chemical disciplines in distance learning. The purpose of the study is to identify the main aspects of web quests’ effectiveness in the training of future medical professionals, revealing the main stages of the organisation. Specific examples of quests are also given from my own practical experience. An analysis of recent publications on this issue was carried out, and as a result, we argue that scientific sources do not sufficiently cover tuse of web quests in the study of chemical disciplines in higher medical education institutions, which is the impetus for the study. The article presents the stages of organising quests for students in the discipline “Medical Chemistry”, which include both the actual creation of a blog (initial, thematic, address, final), as well as the choice of topic, goals, tasks, division of responsibilities between participants and publication of results during distance learning (online conferences, videos, projects, booklets, commercials, prevention essays). It is presented an analysis of a survey of teachers and students on the effectiveness of the introduction of this technology in the training of future medical professionals. The analysis of the results shows that web quests meet modern requirements for implementing the educational process in medical and educational institutions and contribute to acquiring professional competence. Teachers and students who participated in the survey noted that web quests are an effective modern technology that promotes motivation, interest in the subject and chosen profession, and the formation of key competencies that must have a modern medical professional to be competitive. Specific examples of involving students in web quests on the subject of “Medical Chemistry” during research activities in the scientific section of Cherkasy Medical Academy.
