Роль руководителя научного кружка в формировании мотивации студента к углубленному освоению будущей профессии

Abstract

One of the important components in teaching students of medical universities is assistance in choosing a future specialty, the area that will need to be studied in depth, constantly updating knowledge for most of life. The sooner this happens, the sooner the doctor will reach a high level of knowledge and skills in the chosen field. In this regard, the role of the discussion group in shaping the student’s motivation to master the future profession can become decisive, and the most important role in it belongs to the correct selection of the scientific adviser. In connection with the foregoing, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the discussion group at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, depending on the individual characteristics of the scientific adviser, as well as the development and implementation of modern approaches to the formation of student motivation for in-depth development of the future profession. Annual reports on the work of the discussion group of the Department of ENT Diseases of the Kuban State Medical University from 2005 to 2022 were taken as a material for the study. We have identified three periods of 5 years in the work of the discussion group: 2005–2009, 2010–2014, 2018–2022, in each of which the role of scientific adviser was performed by different teachers. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the work of the discussion group was carried out by counting the number of students who visited the group, conducting a test control among former members of the group and residents who are not involved in the work of the discussion group, and determining the external activity of students. Also, in the article, we analyzed all the types of interaction we use with students. Our analysis showed that the effectiveness of the discussion group depends on the educational technologies used, and the role of the scientific adviser of the discussion group in shaping the student’s motivation for in-depth development of the future profession is decisive.
