TEACHING PHYSICS AT A MEDICAL UNIVERSITY: PROBLEMS AND APPROACHES TO SOLUTION

Аннотация

The process of teaching physics at a medical university is developing within the framework of a fairly rigid modern educational paradigm. On the one hand, there is a steady reduction in the study time allotted to the academic discipline, both lecture hours and hours of practical training. On the other hand, the role and place of physics as the basis of radiation medicine in the health care system, and specifically in medical diagnostics, is constantly growing. In addition, modern physics, following in the wake of the advanced achievements of science and technology, is actively replenished with new technologies and teaching methods, which leads to a significant increase in the material required for assimilation. There is no doubt that this problem is not specific to physics and therefore its solution is not in the plane of increasing the volume of hours at the expense of other disciplines. Innovative approaches are required that take into account modern realities and general trends in the development of the educational process. KEYWORDS:- Healthcare, algorithm and technology of teaching physics, radiation medicine, medical- physical complexes, medical physics, physical and technical support, modern requirements of higher medical education, training system for the future physicist-physician. professional recognition with the necessary I NTRODUCTION changes in the content of training and assessment technologies for the ability to quickly One of the conditions of the new approach is the navigate in the rapid flow of scientific orientation of the educational process to a information. greater extent on learning, which presupposes serious systemic changes in the organization and An analysis of the programs that exist today construction of education: reorientation from shows that there is no specific purposeful “input indicators” (terms of training, content, algorithm in teaching these disciplines in goals) to results presented in the form of different departments and in different periods of competencies; the growing role of academic and study in the medical universities of the Republic of Uzbekistan. One can give an example of the CURRENT RESEARCH JOURNAL OF PEDAGOGICSISSN 171 – 2767-3278 https://masterjournals.com/index.php/crjp CURRENT RESEARCH JOURNAL OF PEDAGOGICS 2(6): 171-173, June 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.37547/pedagogics-crjp-02-06-32 ISSN 2767-3278 ©2021 Master Journals Accepted 25thJune, 2021 & Published 30th June, 2021 period of liquidation of the Chernobyl accident primarily the physics of ionizing radiation, would and its consequences, where it was doctors who not be used, and medical radiology is entirely became the main source of the spread of based on the achievements of modern medical radiophobia among the population. Hence, it physics. becomes obvious that the exemplary program M and curriculum for the discipline "Radiation ATERIAL METHOD Medicine" must meet the modern requirements At present, of all sections of the MF, radiation of higher medical education, including taking medical physics has received the greatest into account the construction of a nuclear power development. It is at least 80% in terms of the plant (NPP) in Uzbekistan. volume of work and the number of specialists Radiation medicine requires specialists from a from all foreign and domestic MF, “serving” wide range of professional knowledge and skills, medical and diagnostic technologies based on the skills, a certain set of general cultural values, use of ionizing radiation. These are mainly flexibility of thinking, and the ability to apply radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, and X-ray them in work. studies. In turn, in clinical conditions, the main purpose of the radiation MF is the physical and M AIN PART technical support of therapeutic radiation oncology (radiation therapy). It is generally Of course, the majority of physicists have been accepted that one of the serious flaws in the engaged in the development of physics for many system of professional training of a specialist is decades as the fundamental basis of modern insufficiently purposeful, consistent and poorly natural science. Gradually, physics, in addition to controlled education of students' creative this, began to more and more solve the problems activity and independence. The most important of applying physical laws, processes, means and condition that contributes to the formation of technologies to various areas of human activity, these qualities of the personality of future primarily to technology and weapons. Today the specialists is the construction of the educational situation has changed, and physics is shifting its process on the basis of the widespread priorities towards peaceful purposes, including introduction of problem and heuristic training, healthcare. Currently, traditional medicine is through a system for finding solutions by increasingly turning into physical medicine, students of educational and practical problems. equipped with the most
