THE CONCEPT OF MODERN TRAINING

OF DENTISTRY INTERNS.

Abstract.

The concept of modern training considers computerization of the educational process, as one of the main directions of its intensification. Beginning the development of training methods with application of computer technologies, teachers should not only have a profound knowledge of their subject, but also knowledge in the field of theory and methodology of intensive training systems, have a general idea about the trends of development of computer tools.

Keywords: didactic systems, medical interns, electronic program.

The purpose of this work is to make a description of the design features of intensive didactic system as well as the tools of computer-aided learning.

The current state of the information resources of our society, accelerating speed of their replenishment and updating require revision both particular methodological positions of didactics, and technological solutions, ensuring the organization of educational process in conditions of multiple increase of volumes of educational information and a limited time budget without physical and mental overloads of students and teachers (N.D. Nikandrov).[1]

Intensive training is a self-organizing synergetic system, a module of the didactic system, functioning in the mode of development with acceleration. [2, 3, 4]

Electronic training program, as a tool of teaching, can be used for the following main types of activities:

- practical classes;                                                                             

- independent lecture work of medical interns and cadets;

- seminars;

- business games.

Electronic training program can be teaching, training, controlling ones. [6]

Development of an intensive didactic system implies conformity with certain psychological and pedagogical requirements.

First of all, electronic training program should be adaptive for medical interns and cadets, which is due to different levels of practical experience. It should be oriented on a certain level of trainee’s abilities. In order to do so, when a medical intern enters the department, he (she) should pass a knowledge level control with the help of a computer control test. Adaptivity conditions for electronic training program are implemented by the development of a dialogue scenario by diagnosing possible errors, giving additional tasks, assisting a trainee, i.e. by modeling of the situation of individual learning according to scheme: medical intern – teacher.

Secondly, electronic training programs should form such types of activities that include a certain system of knowledge and provide the possibility of their application.

The leading role in the development of electronic training programs s played by a teacher. Teacher must determine didactic feasibility creation of an electronic training program, form an a priori intensive didactic system and define a place of an electronic training program within it. Therefore, teacher’s preparation for creation of the electronic training program should include: study of theoretical foundations of intensive training as well as didactic opportunities of an electronic training system. At the same time, the following become important:

- the choice of a rational structure of the electronic training program as well as the ways of information disclosure;

- full use of didactic opportunities of the electronic training program during the processing of the trainee’s answers;

- the level of adaptation of the electronic training program to the initial level of the trainee’s knowledge and skills;

- allowance for regularities of the trainee’s cognitive activity.

Accelerating growth rates of information resources, scientific, technical and technological progress of our society lead to the fact that universal intensification today has already become an objective reality. [5, 6, 7]

One example of intensification of the didactic system is the use of educational videos and films.

Using educational films and thematic passages improves the effectiveness of learning. Visual channel is the main channel of perception of information by a human being. It is easier to see once than hear a hundred times. Unfortunately, this fact is often ignored in the training process. Educational films can be used in the course of regular training, and they will increase its effectiveness. And you can use them as an independent method of teaching and development.

A well-made educational film is both a fascinating and instructive spectacle at the same time. However, not only a film itself is important, but also the organization of learning process based on such educational film. And here, great importance is given to those methodological materials, which are attached to this film. They can be divided into two parts: materials to be used by a teacher, and materials to be given to the student.

Materials which are meant for students contain the main theoretical messages of the film, as well as practical and test tasks. After watching the film (individually or in a group), studying materials and performing practical tasks students pas a test, which allows assessing the level of learning of information presented in a film.

Additional advantages can be provided by a computer shell, which allows you to review certain episodes from a film, and also perform tasks and conduct testing. It automates the learning process, facilitates and accelerates the evaluation of learning outcomes.

Thus, educational films are not only a fascinating and informative spectacle, but also a special technology of development of a specialist. Training based on a training film takes only two to three hours (including tasks after watching a film and final testing) and requires much less energy. It can not be said that educational films can completely replace trainings or seminars. If you need to work out some nuances of clinical cases, only a well-designed and structured training can help here. However, if we are talking about basic knowledge and skills in this or that field, educational films can be much more attractive in terms of fast and visual acquisition of knowledge. Group viewing of a film with its subsequent discussion is a kind of corporate event that helps to develop creative and clinical thinking of a specialist.

Conclusions:

1.     Electronic training programs help to systematize the level of knowledge of medical interns and cadets, determine a degree of learning of material during control testing and provide visualization when solving practical issues.

2.     Electronic training programs in the form of a educational films promotes a more objective representation and better acquisition of practical manual skills when mastering new medical manipulations.
