ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE CHILDREN OF PALESTINIAN ADMINISTRATIVE PRISONERS FROM THE PRISONERS’ POINT OF VIEW: THE WEST BANK AS A MODEL

The study is concerned with an aspect related to the field of education, as it is concerned with the issue of educational attainment by the children of administrative prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons, because of this social group of clear repercussions on the Palestinian society, and because this category has the importance it occupies from the nature of the age stage experienced by the children of administrative prisoners, including The stages of childhood that we can reduce to the primary and basic school stage, followed by the secondary school stage, and extend to university studies in many cases. This study talks about the Palestinian family whose children were deprived of living under the father’s tenderness and care for long and intermittent periods. We are talking about a group of prisoners who are subject to repeated arrest several times after their release, which negatively affects the social conditions of the family, including study and education. This study sheds light on a part of the state and society’s resources, and it is classified under the right to human resources, given that investing in people is the best form of economic investment. Head of the family . And because the administrative prisoner is represented in the Palestinian national custom like other prisoners as a model of sacrifice and struggle, which put him in the first ranks that were offered and drained for the sake of the homeland and the constants. Therefore, this study examines the conditions, factors and influences that the children of administrative prisoners experience within the family, the community, and the school. This study derives its data from several interviews and questionnaires conducted inside the prison and within its sections, where the two researchers, who are administrative prisoners, conducted these interviews with some married administrative prisoners who have children in schools and universities and from various cities of the West Bank. These questions were divided between the structural and the objective and included answers about the reflection of the social and economic reality of the family of the administrative prisoner on the educational attainment of its children, and because the society represented by institutions, schools, mosques and the street has a decisive role in influencing negatively or positively the reality of the lives of the children of the administrative prisoner, and because of this impact of important repercussions on The educational attainment of the children of the captive. And because the economic and life burdens have become strenuous in the absence of the father, and the wife has become the one who bears many of these burdens, which multiplies the responsibilities that fall upon her and because of its negative repercussions on the level of her psychological, administrative, physical and mental capabilities. All of this inevitably has effects on her children and these effects also It has dimensions on the child's personality, abilities, skills and sentiments, and on top of that his academic achievement, which is the subject of this scientific study. The danger that the prisoner's family faces is that this administrative prisoner is accustomed to frequent detention by the occupation, and his name is on the list of arrests on the computers of the military administration of the Israeli occupation in the occupied West Bank. This recurring situation, which is punctuated by repeated incursions into the house and the house and a night raid to arrest the prisoner from time to time, where he stays for several months and may reach 24 months at its most extreme, and is released after a significant period, and as a result of the escalation of scenes of the national situation in the Palestinian street from time to time His arrest again, the matter did not stop there only, but his house was broken into after his arrest for the purposes of inspection, spreading panic and destroying the furniture and belongings of the house. These raids were taking place at a time when the husband was caught between the clutches of families for days and weeks.

Investigating the Effects of Psychological Capital on Evidence-based Clinical Practice of Nurses in Dealing With COVID-19 Patients: The Mediating Role of Psychological Security

Objectives: Given the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse effects on social psychological health, especially nurses, psychological empowerment of nurses can increase their psychological security and improve their clinical performance during critical situations. This study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses’ psychology capital and their clinical performance, with a focus on the intermediary role of psychological security while facing COVID-19 patients. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study. A total of 100 nurses (from 114 nurses) employed in the COVID-19 section of Amir-Al-Momenin Hospital in Arak City, Iran, were selected via the convenience sampling method. The data collection was done using three questionnaires: Luthan’s psychological capital questionnaire, perceived psychological questionnaire, and evidence-based questionnaire. To analyze the data and confirm the fitness of the tools, we used the confirmatory factor analysis with partial least square via the Smart PLS3 software Results: The findings indicated significant relationships based on the theoretical model among the studied variables. The standard β for the relationship between psychological capital and clinical performance decreased from 0.684 to 0.507 which given its statistical significance shows the insignificant intermediary role of psychological security. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that nurses who benefit from higher psychological capital are more aware of their psychological capabilities. The positive effects of this awareness lead to better performance in challenging and critical situations.

Application of the Capabilities, Opportunities, Motivations, and Behavior (COM-B) Change Model to Formative Research for Child Nutrition in Western Kenya

ABSTRACTBackgroundInterventions aimed at improving dietary intake and feeding practices have alone proven insufficient for combatting stunting resulting from poor nutrition and repeated infections.ObjectivesTo support the development of an integrated water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and nutrition, social, and behavior change strategy aimed at reducing stunting, formative research was conducted in 2 program sites in western Kenya.MethodsTwenty-nine key informant interviews were conducted with community leaders, health workers, and project staff, and 24 focus group discussions with caregivers of children under 2 y on topics related to feeding, sanitation, and hygiene behaviors. Three frameworks informed the study design and analysis of our formative research: the Capabilities, Opportunities, and Motivations model for behavior change, which identifies what needs to change in order for behavior change interventions to be effective; the Grandmother Project's Change Through Culture Approach, which values the important role of influential household and community members in producing household health; and Starr and Fornoff's approach to Theory of Change development.ResultsCaregivers exhibited sufficient psychological capabilities (knowledge and skills) for many of the key maternal and infant nutrition behaviors. However, reflective motivation to perform optimal behaviors was undermined by limitations in physical and social opportunities, including limited time and competing priorities for mothers, limited accessibility and availability of diverse foods, low self-efficacy for exclusive breastfeeding, and fears of negative consequences related to specific foods and recommended practices.ConclusionsInterventions that aim to improve maternal and child diets should address the underlying social, cultural, and environmental determinants that contribute to motivations and opportunities to perform recommended practices.

German Fach System as an Example of Professional Classification of Voices in Modern Vocal and Opera Art

The purpose of the research is to analyze the principles of voices classification according to the German Fach system through the prism of the integration of Ukrainian singers into world music culture. The research methodology is based on the application of the method of analysis of voices classification, which makes it possible to explore the principles of detailed differentiation of professional voices of opera singers. Source studies and music-theoretical methods were used during the search and analysis of the relevant literature. To substantiate the conclusions on the principles of voice classification, the method of terminology systematization and axiological method were used (to identify the most valuable professional qualities of the vocalist in each classified group). The scientific novelty of the research is that the principles of voice classification in the context of their appropriate professional specialization are analyzed and the principles of the Fach system to certain methods of modern educational vocal practice are extrapolated. Conclusions. In the process of researching the principles of singing voices classification, Fach found that it is based on a detailed analysis of the physical, psychological, emotional and vocal-technical capabilities of the singer in the context of requests for his professional realization in opera. A competitive artistic environment, which is actively expanding through integration processes, necessitates a clear understanding of the value of relevant professional opportunities and proper positioning in the professional sphere. The presence of these objective requests encourages them to be taken into account in the process of vocal formation of the singer, which should be reflected in the choice of certain elements of the methodology of vocal development, and the selection of repertoire and development of artistic thinking.

ЛІНГВОМЕТОДИЧНІ ОСНОВИ НАВЧАННЯ ІНОЗЕМНИХ СЛУХАЧІВ ПІДГОТОВЧИХ ВІДДІЛЕНЬ НАУКОВОМУ СТИЛЮ МОВЛЕННЯ ПРИ ВИВЧЕННІ ПРИРОДНИЧИХ ДИСЦИПЛІН

Improving the quality of training of foreign students at preparatory departments is a priority, which requires improving the forms, methods and technologies of teaching foreign students languages and the formation of scientific functional-linguistic style, which is the basis of communication in the professional sphere. The problem of systematic analysis of linguistic and methodological bases of teaching the scientific style of speech of foreign students at the preparatory departments has its own features and difficulties, overcoming which is associated with the search for new methodological approaches and models. The article reveals the linguistic-methodological approaches to the systematic and activity teaching of foreign students the scientific style of speech and the main components of the scientific style of speech as a kind of modern literary language using as an example teaching physics and mathematics in pre-university training. The structure of educational texts which consist of certain functional blocks and act as model for formation of communicatively-motivated kinds of speech activity is offered. The evaluation of educational and scientific texts in physics and mathematics is made in terms of their information indicators (redundancy, density of teaching material, the average index of complexity). Informational evaluation of educational texts of general and natural sciences opens the possibility of developing objective criteria for optimization and minimization of educational and professional material. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is ensured by a number of relevant and effective linguistic and methodological recommendations. The effectiveness of students’ speech activity in a foreign language is determined by addressing the description of the material of the scientific language, its organization in terms of communicative and professional orientation and functional and stylistic expediency. The study of linguistic and methodological bases of teaching foreign students the scientific style of speech in the study of natural sciences allows us to conclude about the effectiveness of combining professional, linguistic and speech aspects of teaching, coordinated work of language teachers and natural sciences in forming the main components of scientific style. The method of formation of basic themes of educational texts is offered, the most important component of which is their accurate structure, sequence and logic of the statement. It is shown that the standardization of syntactic models, structures of scientific style of speech, lexical structure of scientific speech, its syntactic features are of great importance. It is shown that teaching certain types of speech activity on the material of the language of the specialty must be built differently, considering the psychological capabilities of different categories of foreign students.

РЕТРОГРАДНЫЙ ПЕРИИМПЛАНТИТ (КЛИНИЧЕСКИЙ СЛУЧАЙ)

To date, implantation has become quite a massive operation in public institutions. In the last 10 years, the number of complications at the surgical stage of implantation has decreased to a minimum. Numerous experimental and clinical studies prove the success of osseointegration of implants, but nevertheless the possible negative consequences of such operations persist. The increasingly frequent use of titanium supports leads to the emergence of clinical situations related to both the characteristics of the human body and the individual characteristics of a specialist doctor. It is also necessary to take into account the psychological characteristics of the patient's behavior in the treatment of such complications.
 Subject. Professional and psychological capabilities of a doctor to work effectively in a situation of uncertain outcome of a surgical operation.
 The relevance of this study is due to the need to prevent complications of implantation surgery in the professional activity of a dentist-surgeon. The need for this study was also dictated by the needs of patients using implantological systems in maintaining the quality of life.
 The aim is to study the preservation of the implant in the event of apical peri-implantitis.
 Methodology. A retrospective study was conducted on the basis of the State Medical Institution with "SP No. 12" of patients who underwent implantation treatment. Patients were included in the study if they had one or more implants without clinical signs of implant mobility.
 Results. The patient was treated with surgical tactics to remove the formation in the area of the apical part of the implant; antibacterial therapy; mechanical curettage; chemical decontamination and the imposition of an allogeneic graft.
 Conclusions. Retrograde (apical) reimplantitis was successfully cured by surgical curettage and the use of bone substitutes, and all implants are still in place after an average follow-up period of 1.44 years.

Operationally defining physical literacy in Chinese culture: Results of a meta-narrative synthesis and the Panel's recommendations

Background/ObjectivesThe definition of physical literacy (PL) needs to be explored by researchers from educational, public health, and sports organisations in Chinese culture; an adequate definition and theoretical framework of PL can then be embraced within different contexts and according to cultural influences. MethodsThis meta-narrative synthesis of literature in this area included a series of planning, search, mapping, appraisal, synthesis, and recommendation phases. The literature was translated into English and circulated among international experts to seek suggestions. A total of 74 articles were included in the PL definition synthesis and 28 were included for philosophical synthesis in this study. ResultsBased on three rounds of discussions, the final agreement was reached among panel members regarding the defining statements and practical and theoretical models of PL in Chinese culture. According to consensus, PL is the integration of physical, perceptual, cognitive, psychological, and behavioural capabilities, echoing with the need for an active, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle, which involves continuous positive interactions with the environment and embodied engagement in physical activities for life. The framework addressed five domains (physical, sensory-perceptual, cognitive, psychological, and behavioural) and one important overlapping factor (dynamic environment). A further explanation was provided in the defining statement to assist in understanding the concept. ConclusionIt is suggested that the cultural interpretation and historical background of PL in Chinese discourse should be addressed and respected. The development of a specific cultural definition statement of PL in one country could provide implications for PL researchers worldwide.

The Impact of Psychological Capital and Workplace Social Support on Pediatric Oncology Nurses' Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Symptomology.

Introduction: Work-related post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop in nurses. Pediatric oncology nursing is a potentially high-risk subspecialty for PTSD secondary to the nature of the work. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of PTSD symptomology and explore relationships between nurse psychological capital, workplace social supports, and PTSD symptomology in pediatric oncology nurses. Methods: The study utilized a cross-sectional correlational survey design. Pediatric oncology nurses working in direct patient care in the United States completed a demographics questionnaire, Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), Coworker Support Scale, Supervisor Support Scale, and the Post traumatic Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (PCL-5). Descriptive and inferential statistics, including logistic regression models, were used to analyze data. A cutoff score of ≥31 on the PCL-5 was used to determine the prevalence of PTSD symptomology. Results: The sample included 424 nurses. The prevalence of PTSD symptomology was 13.4%. Work setting (inpatient), decreased coworker and leadership social support, and psychological capital were independently associated with PTSD symptomology. After controlling for covariates, only psychological capital was associated with PTSD symptomology. For a 1 unit decrease in PCQ score, pediatric oncology nurses were 4.25 times more likely to have PTSD symptomology. Discussion: PTSD prevalence rates in pediatric oncology nurses are aligned with rates found in other nursing specialties. Nurse psychological capital may play a protective role against PTSD symptomology. Implications for Future Research: Findings support PTSD as a serious workplace concern for nurses. Workplace programs that foster nurses' psychological capabilities should be considered to protect against the development of PTSD symptomology.

Spatial Analysis to Justify Urban Decisions in the Planning and Distribution of Green Spaces within the Urban Range of Cities (Case Study of the City of Samawah - Republic of Iraq)

Green spaces represent an important type of urban land use within the urban fabric of the city, and it is of clear importance, like all other patterns. It is an important goal to bring the urban population closer to nature and to provide a suitable external environment for them by creating balance and harmony with nature. Green spaces represent a healthy outlet for humans, increasing their physical and psychological capabilities and are a haven for them to relax and spend their free time. The green areas in the city of Samawah and other cities in Iraq suffer from a clear shortage, as they do not meet the needs of the population in them, in addition to the fact that these areas are fragmented within the city and are not interconnected and do not work as a unified system. Therefore, it is neglected, which leads to the deterioration of the city’s environment and increased air pollution. With population growth and urbanization in the city, there is a negative impact on the natural ecosystem. Therefore, the researchers analyzed the spatial distribution of green areas in the city of Samawah, where the analysis dealt with the percentages of green areas implemented over the years from 2010 - 2020 to determine the amount of dispersal of the assembly using a set of tools for spatial analysis in spatial information systems (GIS). The research field ends with a proposal to identify new green areas in the city. The new green areas will be linked with the existing green areas in the city of Samawa, which will lead to an increase in the open green areas, increase their accessibility and increase social cohesion. In addition, this interconnection will contribute to improving the city’s environment by reducing air pollution and lowering high temperatures during the long summer season. This approach can also achieve other economic benefits when planning an interconnected network of green areas in the city of Samawa.

ВПЛИВ СОЦІАЛЬНО-ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК ОСОБИСТОСТІ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦЯ НА ЙОГО УЯВЛЕННЯ ПРО РИЗИК І ПСИХОЛОГІЧНУ ГОТОВНІСТЬ ДО НЬОГО

The article presents the results of a study of the impact of socio-psychological characteristics of the serviceman's personality on his perception of risk and psychological readiness for risky behavior. It is noted that the individual's perception of risk is a complex structural formation that reflects the individual's attitude to risk as a socially significant object and is associated with psychological readiness for risky behavior. Social perceptions of risk are interrelated with personal willingness to take risky behaviors. The type of psychological readiness for risky behavior is determined by the prevailing social imaginations about risk. The study identifies the main types of psychological readiness for risk: "risk as a tool for material gain", "risk as overcoming their own physical and psychological capabilities", "risk as a sign of trust". Psychological readiness for risk and attitude to it are related to the socio-psychological characteristics of the soldier's personality. High levels of motivation to achieve, self-actualization, personal creativity and high self-esteem imply a higher psychological willingness to take risks. Psychological readiness for risk, as well as motivation for it are determined by the socio-psychological adaptability of the serviceman. A high level of adaptability implies a more pronounced psychological readiness for risky behavior. Adapted servicemen show a higher level of psychological readiness for risk for the sake of "prestige" and "interest", while servicemen with low socio-psychological adaptation are less willing to take risks, and in cases of choice are dominated by motives to avoid trouble and material rewards.

Transhumanism: stages, concepts, advantages, risks

. From a philosophical point of view, the peculiarities of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of such a phenomenon of the modern world as transhumanism are investigated. The phenomenon of transhumanism needs a thorough philosophical understanding, taking into account the claims put forward within its limits. After all, transhumanism at the philosophical and scientific level recognizes the possibility of improving human nature from the point of view of avoiding suffering, disease, and death; expanding her physical, mental and psychological capabilities. It is about using scientific tools to create a superhuman. What used to belong to the realm of fiction is becoming a real possibility in today's world. However, since we are talking about the endowment of a person with supernatural capabilities, despite the dizzying opportunities that open up, it is necessary to take into account the ethical aspect of the problem, the moments of responsibility of scientists for their scientific actions from the point of view of the threats they may pose. The research asks why, despite all the dangers associated with human intervention in nature and the largely unpredictable consequences of such interventions, people still do not give up on experiments to improve their nature?

Enabling Cognitive Effects of Vertical Information Sharing on Psychological Capital, Managerial Attitudes, and Performance

This research analyzed the enabling cognitive effects of vertical information sharing on psychological capital, managerial attitudes, and managerial performance of professional controllers. A descriptive and quantitative survey was carried out with 267 professionals in the controllership area of companies operating in Brazil. In the context of the budget, the results indicate that, with the sharing of information between superiors and subordinates, the psychological capacities of these professionals are promoted, stimulating self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism, dimensions that comprise psychological capital. People with a positive state of psychological development enhanced their involvement in work, reflecting positively on attitudes that promote performance in the tasks under their responsibility. The research contributes by providing new evidence of the effects of information sharing in companies operating in Brazil on the psychological capital of controllers and the intervening effects of the psychological capabilities of these professionals in the existing relationship between information sharing and managerial performance, which occurs through the promotion of proactive managerial attitudes toward budgeting and engagement at work, which positively reflect on managerial performance.

Методологические и научно-методические основания диагностики психолого-педагогического потенциала учителя

The most important theoretical and methodological issues related to the identification, assessment, formation and development of the teacher’s psychological and pedagogical potential include adequate methods of his psychodiagnostics. Until now, almost all diagnostic methods used in psychology, including pedagogical, were focused mainly on assessing the current professional level of a specialist’s development, and his potential psychological and pedagogical capabilities, which were not manifested or were not clearly manifested in practical activity, was considered rather within the framework of theory. The article offers for discussion a number of tasks that require methodological and methodological solutions, and are aimed at studying the psychological and pedagogical potential of the teacher.

A Strength-Based Support Group for International College Students: A Pilot Study

ABSTRACT The United States remains the top host of international college students globally. Within the counseling literature, international college students’ acculturative experiences and characteristics are often studied through the lens of the medical model. This gap lends itself to opportunities for a paradigm shift in group counseling practice to foster their wellbeing, by building on their existing psychological capabilities such as hope, efficacy, resiliency, and optimism, referred to as Psychological Capital (PsyCap). The purpose of this practice article is to showcase the development, implementation, participants’ feedback, pilot evaluation, and implications of an eight-week strength-based support group called the International SuperHERO.

DEVELOPMENT OF A USER CLASSIFICATION METHOD ACCORDING TO THE LEVEL OF STRESS RESISTANCE USING A MODIFIED AUTO-ASSOCIATIVE NEURAL NETWORK

The work is aimed at solving a relevant for Ukraine and the world scientific and applied problem – the development of methods and means of constructing a psychophysical portrait of man to determine its stress resistance. For a number of professions, special methods of selecting personnel for special abilities are needed. Such abilities (qualities) include: health; motivation and will to act decisively, with the maximum effort of their physical, intellectual and psychological capabilities; physical training; level of mastery of technical means (or other means necessary in a critical situation); temperament; nature; emotional condition; accumulation of fatigue during the task and others. The article develops a method for classifying users according to the level of stress resistance on the basis of a modified auto-associative neural network using the Fletcher – Reeves algorithm. There are several ways to classify stress responses, but a more obvious study is to divide them into behavioral, intellectual, emotional and physiological manifestations of stress. The main signs of behavioral stress are psychomotor disorders (excessive muscle tension, winter breathing rhythm), lifestyle changes (changes in daily routine, sleep disturbances), occupational disorders (decreased productivity, increased fatigue), impaired social role functions, increased conflict, increasing aggression, etc.). In conditions of constant influence of stress factors on human consciousness, the decision can be ill-considered and made under the influence of emotions. To avoid such a situation in the workplace, the head of the company must monitor the condition of the operator. This human operator stress assessment system has been developed to predict human operator stress. The main task of the model is to predict based on the obtained parameters of the human condition (stress or not). Additional testing was added to increase the model’s performance based on input data on physical parameters, gender, age, height, and bad habits. The purpose of testing is to increase the accuracy of model prediction. Data from 92 respondents with 1180 records were selected for testing. Data set division: testing – 20 %, training / verification – 80%. The best results were achieved with the help of our own developed neural network based on Keras. Also in the paper the implementation of decision-making methods, the method of k-nearest neighbors and the modified auto-associative network was presented.

Psychological prevention of injuries of the musculoskeletal system in elite athletes

The article presents a study of traumatic experiences by high-class athletes (members of the Russian national teams). Data on the subjective sensations of athletes who have suffered from injury of the musculoskeletal system are obtained, patterns in the perception of the consequences of an injury event are revealed. Also we present data on the attitude of athletes to injury in the aspect of professional activity. The analyzed information is an important component in the development of personalized programs for the prevention of reinjury in elite sports.Objective: to assess the psychoemotional experiences of sports trauma by elite athletes in the process of rehabilitation treatment after the musculoskeletal system injury.Materials and methods: a specially developed medical and psychological interview was conducted with athletes-members of the sports national Russian Federation teams, who are inpatient treatment in the sports traumatology department, in order to obtain primary subjective information from the athlete about his presentation of his own experiences of a traumatic episode. Further, the information obtained from the interviews was analyzed and grouped for further evaluation.Results: we state the significant influence exerted by the previous traumatic experience on the future life and professional activity of an athlete. Moreover, the influence can be both negative (fear, anxiety, kinesiophobia, uncertainty in sports-specific movements) and positive (acquired skills of coping with traumatic experiences, gaining new knowledge about one’s physical and psychological capabilities).Conclusions: thus, despite the diversity of individual reactions of athletes to injury, different life situations, sports and traumatic events, it is possible to identify general patterns in the perception of elite athletes of the injury itself, as well as the entire process of recovery and return to sports. This information is very important both for minimizing the negative impact of a sports injury on the psychological recovery of an athlete by switching his attention to identifying the “positive” consequences of the injury, and for the prevention of repeated injuries in elite sports.

A Study on Psychological Job Characteristics of Firefighters at Nuclear Power Plants and the Effect of Local Officials&amp;apos; Perception for Transition to National Positions on Job Characteristics

This study analyzes the psychological capabilities related to job performance, such as risk perception, job satisfaction, job stress, and organizational commitment among 610 firefighters (65 own firefighters, 184 initial firefighters, and 361 local firefighters) working at various nuclear power plants. The interrelationship between the perception of risk and changes in the psychological capabilities of fire officials under the jurisdiction of nuclear power plants was investigated. The data were collected through a survey. We used SPSS 23.0 to perform descriptive statistics, correlation, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis of study variables, and AMOS 23.0 to validate the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The study results show that psychological capabilities related to job performance differed significantly for each organization to which the firefighters belonged, followed by job satisfaction, job stress, and risk perception as variables that affect organizational commitment. The high expectations of the transition to national positions have a positive impact on job satisfaction, which in turn increases organizational commitment. Based on the results, we discussed the necessary policy implications in terms of management to enhance the future performance of organizations.

New aspects of pedagogical activity in the distant form of pathological physiology teaching to medical university students

Distance learning (DL) is a completely new and unique form of education, which got forced to switch to by the current pandemic of coronavirus disease.&#x0D; Note that until now, distance learning technologies have been used at the department of general and clinical pathological physiology and some other departments of the Odessa National Medical University (ONMedU).&#x0D; The aim of this analytical article is to analyze the efficacy of ONMedU General and Clinical Pathological Physiology Department staff during the one and a half year period of the coronavirus infection pandemic with an accent to psychological approach to students modified teaching. The urgent need of time and the primary desire to protect students and their own lives during 2020-2021 requires us to improve our own pedagogical approaches in the further on-line teaching of students.&#x0D; We see success in systematic methodological work with students, the implementation of which will make it possible to evoke and increase their motivation to study histology. The importance of this methodological technique, supported in the senior years of medical universities by the integration of teaching theoretical and clinical disciplines, the approximation of teaching to specific clinical cases will help optimize the assimilation of morphological knowledge by students at least and, undoubtedly, in the near future will lead to a better assimilation of clinical disciplines.&#x0D; In connection with the ideas of individualized and developmental learning, the use of psychological capabilities of learning tools in the virtual environment brings both pedagogy and psychology to a new level of understanding the mediation of mental, creative, communicative and executive learning and learning activities.&#x0D; The use of distance learning helps the students to acquire skills of independent work, creates comfortable conditions for creativity, increases the creative and intellectual potential of the student through self-organization, the ability to interact with computer technology and make responsible decisions, creates favorable conditions for individual creative expression in the process of learning, for the development of the student's personality.&#x0D; The authors are convinced that the optimization and improvement of the educational process in medical universities is to draw students' attention to the problems that the medical community is dealing with on a daily basis today.
