Аннотация

This article explores the psychological barriers encountered in the teaching of natural sciences — medical chemistry, anatomy, medical biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and other core disciplines — in medical higher education institutions, as well as strategies for overcoming them. Practical observations indicate that the majority of medical students are adults, often married, and have graduated from general education schools many years ago. These students have been distanced from subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology in the past and thus face difficulties in deeply mastering them. Natural sciences often involve complex theoretical concepts, scientific terminology, and abstract thinking, leading to the development of a “fear syndrome” among students. This fear manifests as lack of self-confidence, anxiety over not understanding the subject, and an inability to demonstrate knowledge. The article analyzes the psychological, social, and didactic roots of this syndrome. It also examines proposed strategies to overcome these challenges: step-by-step 10 “TIBBIYOT OLIYGOHLARIDA TABIIY FANLARNI INTERFAOL USULLARDA O'QITISHNING MUAMMOLARI VA YECHIMLARI” instruction, simplification of textbooks, linking subjects with clinical examples, implementation of interactive methods, personalized approaches, psychological support, and most importantly — fostering students' self-worth and positive motivation toward the subject. Practical recommendations are also offered for instructors, including continuous monitoring of student performance, using interactive methods and multimedia tools, making lessons more understandable through Q&A sessions, and using positive reinforcement to reduce fear. These approaches are expected to be particularly effective in institutions with sufficient technical and pedagogical capacity. The article concludes that systematically addressing the fear of natural sciences is one of the key factors in improving learning outcomes in these subjects.
