Didactic Culture of Medical University Teachers and Students in the Conditions of War

Abstract

The aim: To analyse the essence of the concept of “didactic culture”, to outline its structure, to describe the peculiarities of the development of the didactic culture of teachers and students in the conditions of war, to characterize the role of information technologies in its formation. Materials and methods: A number of scientific methods were used in the research: a comparative-historical method to consider retrospectively the concept of didactic culture; bibliographic method to identify the existing source base; content analysis for analytical processing of literature; chronological method to analyse the study of didactic culture in a time sequence; structural and systemic analysis to clarify its specifics at different levels; comparative analysis to establish common and specific features in the system of didactic culture development in different countries; a questionnaire method for studying students’ opinions about the structure of speech culture as a component of didactic culture; a method of generalization and specification that contributes to the formulation of conclusions and recommendations on the didactic culture development. Conclusions: The didactic culture is considered as a socio-pedagogical phenomenon and an important component of professional and pedagogical culture. The didactic culture development in wartime conditions should be based on the principles of humanism, praxeology and acmeology, with the account of the challenges and features of the information society and the globalized world. In this context, systematic comparative studies will contribute to the use of the experience of other countries, and the development of psychodidactics will allow to approach the understanding of the deep patterns of the process of didactic culture development.
