ABSTRACT
The article reveals the main methodological approaches to teaching clinical neurology at the medical faculties of Bukovina State Medical University, aimed at improving the educational process, its optimization and intensification in order to improve the quality of training university graduates in the field of neurology. Keywords: teaching methods, neurology.
Further development of higher education and medicine, in particular, is impossible without a creative search for new ways and methods of improving the educational process, its optimization and intensification.
The clinical neurology course at the medical school is designed to train general practitioners, not neuropathologists. Nevertheless, the teaching of neurology should occupy an important place in the education system, especially for pediatricians, due to the importance of the nervous system in the genesis of various diseases and in the normal functioning of the body [16].
At the Department of Nervous Diseases, Psychiatry and Medical Psychology, the names of S.N. Sav-enko uses technical teaching aids: negatoscopes, film cameras, epidiascopes, graph projectors, multimedia
projectors, computers. There are lecture halls, radio and cinematographic, with projection devices. A training room for pediatric groups was allocated on the basis of the neurological department of the children's hospital, equipped with visual aids (tables, diagrams, X-rays, drugs, transparencies). The educational process is facilitated by equipping the department with computers, the presence of diagnostic rooms (electro- and rheo-en-cephalography, ultrasound methods, etc.), as well as the fact that the department has a children's neurological department (for 40 beds), an intensive care and resuscitation department, medical rooms (Exercise therapy, IRT).
Practical classes are of decisive importance, since students are faced with real medical activities in them, which makes them pay special attention to them when
improving the educational process. It is during practical lessons that students develop the ability to think clinically, and they acquire the skills of medical practice. The teacher acts as the main source of descriptive, explanatory and prescriptive educational information, which leads to the formation of reproductive activity in students, and "according to the model." At the same time, an important indicator of the quality of the formed activity in the classroom should be the ability of students to use already acquired knowledge in new situations that require the implementation of new actions with them (for example, the ability, after examining the patient, to make a diagnosis taking into account the accepted classification, to interpret the data obtained when using additional research methods, prescribe appropriate treatment, etc.). In this case, we are talking about the formation of productive activity among students, which is facilitated by all forms of educational and methodological work of the department.
We have outlined ways to optimize the practical lesson, improving its organization and implementation of the methods recommended by modern pedagogy, while taking into account the specifics of our discipline. Taking into account the importance of the activity-based approach to learning and the leading role of students' independent work in the course of mastering knowledge and skills, we have created educational and methodological recommendations for practical exercises, including a number of sections considered below.
1. In the introduction of educational and methodological recommendations, the main goals and objectives are defined, presented in the form of a text part, with the help of which the initial cognitive interest of students is formed.
2. In the second section, the requirements for the level of preparedness of the student after completing the course are given, with a clear delineation of what the student should know, what skills to master in diagnostics, emergency care in neurology and the method of examination of a neurological patient, i.e. the motivation for studying the discipline is determined.
3. The next section of methodological developments provides a summary and methodology for conducting laboratory classes according to the thematic plan of the approved work program, which includes basic sections on general and private neurology, with the inclusion of questions previously studied at previous departments and classes necessary for mastering a new topic. The importance of integrating learning is obvious, without the use of basic knowledge, it is impossible to fully increase the quality of knowledge and skills of students. In each topic, the goals of the lesson are determined in terms of the students' activities: what knowledge should be mastered, what professionally significant actions should be formed in the course of a practical lesson. The formulation of the objectives of the lesson in terms of the types of activity is of fundamental importance, the selection of the amount of educational information and the methodology of the lesson itself depend on this. Moreover, the formation of a correct, businesslike attitude to the lesson depends on the definition of goals. An important part of this section is
the content of the topic of the lesson, which corresponds to the program and goals of a particular lesson. The content of the lesson - the material of the topic is presented mainly in two ways: in the form of a short text (logical and didactic structure, where, according to the selected main provisions of the topic, their content is consistently revealed) and specifically considered issues. It also provides a list of practical skills and test questions for mastering a topic for self-preparation in accordance with the described goals and a list of recommended literature (main and additional).
4. In our opinion, it was useful to include a neurological examination plan and a case history diagram in the methodological development. Such a scheme reflects the content of the actions formed during the examination of a thematic patient. It provides clear instructions on each section of patient supervision: what to look for when detecting complaints, collecting anamnesis, examining a patient, evaluating laboratory data, instrumental and other research methods, when substantiating a topical and clinical diagnosis. We believe that the content of this scheme should be assimilated by students before they come to the main stage of their work in practical classes - supervision of patients. The student must clearly know not only the sequence of his actions when working with a patient, but also what information he can get at the same time. This is a scheme of the indicative basis of action, which contributes to the formation of students' ability to solve specific problems, based on the general principles of diagnostics based on the elements of independent search.
5. A special place in training is the development of research skills. Short (10-20 min) reports of students in practical classes on individual key problems of neurology using the latest data from periodical literature, especially those data that correct the prevailing ideas on a number of issues set out in textbooks, have proven themselves well as UIRS. The list of proposed topics for the student's educational and research work is given in one of the sections of the methodological development. Discussion of the report is carried out in a form approaching that at scientific conferences: questions to the speaker, presentation in the discussion, the conclusion of the teacher. The best reports are presented at a meeting of the student scientific circle.
6. A list of questions for self-preparation for credit is also given for all the topics covered in general and private neurology in accordance with the adopted work program, which forms the student's directed motivation to study the discipline as a whole and each specific lesson separately.
Thus, methodological developments on each topic are offered to students for independent work both in the classroom and outside the classroom. Preparing for the practical lesson, the student repeats the basic sections (the teacher pointed out the importance of restoring them in memory for clinical neurology), reads the recommended literature on the topic, studies the structure of the topic and the patient's examination scheme, then tests his knowledge by answering questions for self-preparation. Methodological developments for students are objectively the system of conditions that directs
their cognitive activity and helps the teacher to adequately manage this activity, makes it possible to activate independent activity, which, in turn, helps purposeful work with various objects of activity (patients, medical history, additional data). research methods, etc.). Homework of students and their work in practical classes are two interrelated stages, and the quality of the second entirely depends on the quality of the first, this is facilitated by methodological developments on each specific topic.
In practical lessons, students master the basic skills of clinical examination of patients (collection of anamnesis, objective examination of the neurological status), the ability to determine the main neurological syndromes, to carry out topical diagnostics in a limited amount, to substantiate a preliminary nosological diagnosis and to determine the required amount of additional research methods. Particular attention is paid to the discussion of the pathophysiological mechanisms of neurological disorders, taking into account the specific features of the corresponding syndromes, the course of the disease and the presence of additional factors affecting the process of symptom formation in the patients under discussion. When studying additional research methods used in a neurological clinic, the teacher provides basic information about the research methodology, indications for the use of the method.
The practical lesson is built according to the following plan:
1. Organizational part - 3-5 minutes. This stage takes a minimum of time and is devoted to various organizational issues.
2. As you know, the effectiveness of a practical lesson depends not only on the methodology of its implementation, but also on the degree of students' readiness for it. Each student is offered questions, orally or on a computer, from the section "Control questions for mastering the topic" or a collection of test questions and answers in the discipline "Neurology". Students' answers are assessed by a teacher or a computer, according to the developed program.
3. Correction of the second stage: the teacher answers questions unclear to students, using a wide variety of visual aids.
4. Instructions of the teacher on working at the patient's bedside using the generally accepted scheme of the medical history and the plan for the examination of the topical patient. The teacher clarifies the goals of studying the topic, highlighting the skills that must be developed in students. In addition, the teacher pays great attention to the deontological aspect of educating the personal qualities of a non-neurologist, which are necessary when working at the patient's bedside.
5. Supervision of patients and keeping a working history of the disease; each student uses the scheme of examination of a thematic patient.
6. Analysis of patients on the topic of the lesson. This stage can be called a variant of a clinical conference, contributing to the formation of students' competent professional speech, the logic of clinical thinking. Stages 5 and 6 are allocated 50-60% of the time of the training session.
7. Demonstration of visual aids.
8. Final test of students' knowledge (ability to solve clinical problems - models of clinical situations). The goal of solving clinical (situational) problems is to check how well the skills have been formed to theoretically substantiate the diagnosis and outline a plan for further actions, which should then be developed and improved in the process of solving real problems (situations) when working with patients. Independent work of students on solving such problems contributes to the achievement of one of the most important goals of training in a medical university - training the clinical thinking of a future doctor. The data obtained as a result of such control allows to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the practical lesson.
9. Summing up the results of the lesson. The purpose of this stage of the lesson is to assess the activities of each student at all stages of the lesson (how the student prepared for the lesson, how he worked at the patient's bedside, how he participated in the analysis of patients, how he solved clinical problems). The last two stages also perform a disciplinary function, which is of great importance for the training of a doctor.
10. Assignment at home. The teacher points out the need to use the basic knowledge gained at the previous stages of education for the qualitative assimilation of knowledge and skills that the student will receive in the next lesson, recommends literature on the topic of the lesson, briefly characterizes the importance of one or another source of information.
By proposing such a plan for a practical lesson, we stand not for monotony, but for the unity of methodological approaches to conducting a lesson by each teacher.
An important link in improving the quality of assimilation of knowledge and skills is the activation of students' research work carried out within the framework of student scientific circles. This work is characterized by a large element of student independence. To teach how to tell, how to write, how to invent, solve, etc. - this is, in our opinion, the main direction of activity of scientific student circles. The work of students in the circle also contributes to the development of scientific thinking. In a circle at our department, students receive the skills of research work, they form the correct approach to the methodological problems of neurology. Great importance is attached to the quality of independent scientific research carried out by students. The best works of the circle members are discussed at scientific student conferences.
Conclusions and offers. One of the main conditions for improving learning is the constant clarification and correction of the teaching content. The content side of training is determined primarily by the social order for specialists and possible changes in the model of a specialist in this profile in the future. Correction of the curriculum and teaching materials should be carried out taking into account the latest achievements in theoretical, clinical and experimental neurology.
In accordance with the principles of broad profiling within the university, new tasks are set for teaching neurology. On the one hand, it is necessary to teach the student not only to memorize, but also to think creatively, independently acquire knowledge, choose what
is needed from the flow of information, and develop the ability to transform knowledge. On the other hand, new learning objectives pose a problem and the choice of new methods that would allow more information to be presented in the shortest time and with maximum efficiency. This is possible subject to the use of the latest technology. Qualified scientific and pedagogical personnel, creative teaching, a differentiated approach of the teacher to students largely determine the quality of the educational process.

ABSTRACT
The article considers the expansion of applied aspects in the process of teaching human anatomy, which is focused on the end result of improving the quality of training of doctors at the present stage. Thus, the interaction of theoretical and clinical departments allows students to: gain motivation to increase the level of theoretical, especially fundamental training; to get acquainted with modern methods of diagnosis and treatment, the experience of which will be studied at clinical departments; to acquire guidelines for choosing a future narrow medical specialization; specify your educational interest; to deepen the study of the main disciplines of the educational program of junior courses with the prospect of improving the efficiency of the educational process at clinical departments.
Keywords: human anatomy, clinical thinking, educational program, motivation.
At the present stage, multilevel training in higher medical school aims to introduce promising forms and methods of teaching focused on the development of creative initiative and activation of cognitive activity of students [1-4]. In this regard, one of the most important pedagogical tasks is the formation of clinical thinking of students, starting with junior courses [5-6]. In this process, knowledge of fundamental disciplines should become the motivational basis for the formation of professional thinking and practical competencies [7-8].
Human anatomy in the system of higher medical education is a basic subject for further study of medical-biological and clinical disciplines. In accordance with the modern requirements of the medical education system, anatomy is designed to give students not only strong and deep knowledge about the structure of the human body, but also to form in them the foundations
of clinical thinking, to encourage the desire to master practical skills. Ultimately, this discipline addresses the needs of the clinic, teaching the practical aspects of human anatomy is one way to improve its teaching.
Traditionally, human anatomy, as a basic discipline, requires the study with maximum accuracy of anatomical preparations, preparation of organs and systems on corpses, memorization of anatomical terms. The results of this work are evaluated in subsequent training courses in clinical disciplines. Teachers of clinical departments note that there are cases when a student who has passed the anatomy exam with "excellence" is not always oriented in matters of topography and the relationship of internal organs with related structures.
