- Abstract:
- The chapter is devoted to studying the attitude of various representatives of the medical community towards the introduction of distance learning elements into the educational process of a medical university. This topic is very relevant in view of the just ended pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. At the same time, the composition of the research objects, which included 150 people, men and women, divided into 3 groups of 50 people, also arouses additional interest in this work. Group 1 consisted of 5th year students of the Faculty of Medicine of VSMU named after. N.N. Burdenko. The 2nd group included practicing doctors of various specialties of the BUZ VOKB No. 1. Group 3 consisted of teachers from VSMU named after. N.N. Burdenko.
Respondents were asked to give a general assessment of various elements of the complex learning process at a university – practical classes, lecture material, and to evaluate not only full-time education, but also distance learning. Moreover, all of the above points received high marks from respondents of all 3 groups, which may indicate the high quality of the educational process at the university. The next stage was to clarify the attitude towards distance learning elements, in particular about the possibility of using distance learning elements in general, about the possible transfer of lecture material to a distance course, about the possible complete transfer of the learning process to a distance format, including CME. At the same time, the possibility of transferring lecture material, CME and the general use of distance learning elements found live confirmation and approval among the subjects. Only the complete transfer of the learning process to a distance channel caused a negative reaction, because it is impossible to raise and train a full-fledged, competent and qualified specialist only remotely, which is especially important in relation to medical education. This chapter may be of some interest to higher education teachers and medical university professors.
