Skills of distance teaching of physiology to students of Bukovina State Medical University

Abstract

The use of information technology in teaching process has increased, especially in the last decade. Modern computer programs allow for the transfer of knowledge and access to a variety of educational information, and new ones technologies such as interactive e-learning manuals, multimedia content, Internet, contribute to more active involvement of students in the process teaching. Distance learning has not gone unnoticed and medicine. The purpose of the article is to reveal achievements and problems distance teaching of theoretical disciplines in Bukovynian State Medical University, already has been working with a distance learning server for more than 10 years "Moodle", which over the years of its existence constantly is improving. The novelty of the article is to find out the reasons popularity of the resource among students, because it is known that students-physicians are primarily trying to obtain information in Moodle. On the server there are: methodical materials for training, lecture material, textbooks, calendar plans, guides for students, information about working off, results of working off of the missed employment. The methodology of the article includes comparative and analyticalmethods of assessing the achievements and problems of distance learning subject "Physiology" to students of BSMU. Our task the study began to draw intermediate conclusions about the shortcomings and advantages of distance learning in the study of physiology 2nd year students of BSMU. Conclusions. Department of Physiology BSMU has gained some experience during teaching distance learning. The staff of the department in progress teaching, improved computer skills, have been updated and enhanced Moodle servers. Distance learning reduces learning time due to communication speed teacher and student. Access to medical information is significant expanded and it is possible to use all forms of learning, c including independent work in the electronic library. IN in rural areas an electronic medical library can become one of the most effective uses information progress in clinical medicine. Timely and prompt implementation of distance learning in medical university allowed to interest students and in as a result, to develop a distance learning format into a single one information and educational environment of the university, to expand electronic educational and methodical base of the university andpreserve the former educational potential.
