Integrative-modular technology of general chemistry teaching

Abstract

The paper deals with integrative and modular technology of teaching General Chemistry to medical students that was developed and implemented at Chemistry Department of Siberian State Medical University. To design educational programs, the paradigm of training was exchanged to the paradigm of productive exercises with greater independence of students who become designers of their own knowledge, professional and universal competences. The content block of this discipline consists of two components: invariant and variant. Invariant component includes elective course on the chemistry of biologically active compounds. The paper describes the use of combination of academic and innovative methods and technologies of training. An approximate algorithm is offered for the course module, which focuses on the adsorption equilibrium and processes. It includes theoretical training, provided by textbooks, lecture text and teaching aids. Students assess the quality of academic work on their own with the help of tests and in the implementation of practical tasks in laboratory studies.
