New methodological approaches to improving the preparation of students to take the licensing integrated exam "Krok", the Uniform State Qualification examination, the english language for professional purposes

Abstract

Relevance. The problem of high-quality training of specialists in the medical field is a significant issue worldwide, including in Ukraine. It is necessary to achieve a threefold task when forming a highly professional specialist: successful completion of the licensing integrated exam "Krok", improvement of one's practical skills and medical manipulations in the conditions of a simulation center and clinic, and formation of awareness of the practical activity of a doctor thanks to the use of an integrative approach of pathophysiology.Objective. To compare the quality of students' preparation for taking licensing integrated exam "Krok", the Unified State Qualification Exam, and the English language for professional purposes using the classical method and the proposed algorithm, which consists of five stages and makes it possible to provide an integrative approach with the transition from dominant memory stress to thinking and intelligence.Material and methods. We analyzed the effectiveness of preparing students for taking the licensing integrated exam "Krok", the Unified State Qualification Exam, and the English language for professional purposes using the classical method and the proposed algorithm.Results. The proposed analysis of 10 test tasks from the license integrated exam “Krok” database in Ukrainian and 5 test tasks in English for professional purposes in each practical session according to this algorithm. A notebook page for practical classes is divided by a vertical line as follows: 2/3 of the working area and 1/3 field. Next, test tasks are selected from the data bank on the topic of the lesson and 1 test task is written on 1 page in the upper part of the work area, i.e., you need to use 10 pages of the notebook for Ukrainian-language tests and 5 pages for professional English test. At the second stage, the correct answer is marked*. The third stage is to explain in writing why the indicated answer is correct and why each distractor is an incorrect answer. The fourth stage is to underline key words in the test. The fifth stage is to find an explanation of all the terms found in the test, the correct answer and distractors and write them in the fields.Conclusions. The application of the proposed algorithm in 5 stages of analysis of test tasks from the open database licensing integrated exam "Krok" in Ukrainian and test tasks in English for professional purposes allows to improve traditional types of education, to move from classical training of students to passing the license integrated exam "Krok", the Unified State Qualification Exam, English language professional orientation with a predominance of stress on memory (consciousness of the past) to the predominant use of thinking (concepts, judgments, inferences) and intellect (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretization, generalization), which will allow understanding the essence of test tasks and contribute to the development of awareness of the essence of the doctor's practical activity.
