The role of innovative technologies in higher educational institutions of Ukraine

Abstract

Currently, introduction of the advanced approaches to the learning process is not just an experiment, but a necessity dictated by the modern requirements for specialists and their field of activity. Medicine is no exception. The up-to-date approaches to diagnosis and treatment, which have become possible as a result of scientific progress, require the medical professional to have not only technical skills, but also a comprehensive perception of medicine in which all mechanisms are closely interconnected with each other. The key to training an expert medical specialist is the advanced pedagogical methodologies that can provide both the proper theoretical grounds and practical skills of future physicians. Innovation activity is complex and specific. It requires an educator to have special knowledge, skills and the original comprehensive vision of the educational process and its goals. In the historical aspect, we see the emergence of the novel didactic means aimed at improving the current educational process and implementation of the state-of-the-art digital technologies in it. Given the above circumstances, pedagogical activity should combine the traditional methods, based on clinical experience, humanistic orientation, and the use of innovative didactic technologies.
