Teaching work

The aim of teaching work of the department is to create:

• textbooks and manuals on subjects
• guidelines for students
• presentations of lectures
• computer tests for checking of output and final level of knowledge of students
• common tasks to verify the 3rd level of mastering educational material
• virtual training in the classroom, where the use of experimental animals, expensive equipment, and reagents is impossible
• training tables on various topics and sections of disciplines
• tasks for Olympiads among students
• conditions for performing scientific researches by student

The department developed complete sets of methodological support of lectures, practical classes, student work in medical biology, physiology and pathophysiology in Ukrainian, Russian, and English.

General Issues on Teaching Methods

The Department is in search of new teaching methods focused on the achievements of modern pedagogy. Teachers take into account the general level of training of students and the available technical means of the educational process.

Now the objectives of the department are:

• development and widespread introduction of E-learning in each discipline that is taught;
• publication of courses, which are created in the E-learning system, in OCW;
• development and testing of the distance form of educational process of biomedical sciences.
