SHAPING THE PERSONALITIES OF FUTURE DENTISTS IN PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS

Abstract

At present, the educational process faces new challenges that require increased effectiveness. Recent events in our country have highlighted the need to focus on fostering national self-awareness among students of high educational institutions. Education plays a critical role in the formation of future generations, making it a crucial aspect of the state policy. The Ukrainian language is an essential element of the nation's identity and a crucial factor in the formation of highly qualified specialists and loyal citizens.
 The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of speech aspects on the formation of higher education students' personalities and their role in developing highly skilled professionals and patriotic citizens. The research materials and methods used in this study include exiting theoretical literature, periodicals, internet sources, statistical and analytical materials, and the authors' own research. We surveyed 120 dental students of higher medical educational establishments in order to analyze the role of language in the personality development. The results showed that 33.3% of respondents had difficulties transitioning to the Ukrainian language.
 It is essential for the teaching staff of universities to encourage students to communicate fluently and permanently in their native language. By analyzing the influence of speech aspects on the personality development, it is evident that language plays a crucial role in fostering humanism, patriotism, and high professional culture in future generations. By adhering to the principles outlined in this study, it is possible to develop the personality of modern specialists as comprehensively educated individuals and patriots of Ukraine.
