THE DIALECTICS OF TERMINOLOGICAL INTERACTION IN THE RESEARCH FIELD ISSUE OF TRAINING FUTURE MASTERS IN PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY

Abstract

The article analyzes the terminological interaction in the research field issue of training future masters in pharmaceutical chemistry by contextual clarification of categories and meanings of basic and derived concepts. The expediency of using an analytical approach is substantiated. It has made it possible to carry out relevant logical operations: 1) search for essential features of the subject; 2) establishing the coincidence or discrepancies of the formulations, which have significant or insignificant features; 3) finding out the features of the research subject and separating them from the rest of the features; 4) unification of individual features in the definition of a concept. The basic and derived research concepts are grouped into blocks. The first one includes concepts that reveal modern approaches to determining the essence of professional future masters of pharmacy education («professional education», «higher education», «higher pharmaceutical education», «higher education standard», «educational program», «Master of Pharmacy»). The second block includes concepts characterizing the didactic units of teaching pharmaceutical chemistry («teaching methodology», «pharmaceutical chemistry», «learning content», «teaching methods», «teaching tools», «methodical system of teaching pharmaceutical chemistry», «competence-oriented methods of teaching pharmaceutical chemistry for future masters of pharmacy»). Structural elements (components) of each outlined concept have been singled out. It has created a methodological basis for a comprehensive study of the essential content of the key research concept, which is «teaching of pharmaceutical chemistry for future masters of pharmacy». It has also allowed authors to formulate their position on its interpretation as a purposeful process of interaction between the teacher and students on mastering science, the subject field of which consists of questions about the sources and methods of obtaining natural and synthetic medicinal compounds, their structure, physical and chemical properties, their transformation, the relationship between the chemical structure of a substance and its effects on the human body. The result is the formation of future specialists with higher ability to successfully conduct educational and professional activities.
