Over the past 7 years (from 2013 to 2020), the on-line educational technologies have begun to be widely used in the additional professional education of doctors. However, the analysis of the programs using in on-line educational technologies showed that lecture forms and testing predominate. There are practically no seminars and practical classes where the activity component of mastering the program should be fully implemented. Control should also be different. It is impossible to check the level of competence by traditional means of theoretical teaching.

OBJECTIVE

Determination of the methodological features in the practical skills formation in tasks development in the conditions of on-line learning for teachers.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Employees of the Methodological Accreditation and Simulation Center of the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine analyzed the experience of open online courses and cycles of advanced training for doctors. Numerous risks in the practice of using distance educational technologies that made it possible to identify the methodological features of the process of developing situational tasks in the conditions of on-line learning in the specialties: «Therapy», «General practice (family medicine)», «Dietetics». Based on the identified features an additional professional training program for teachers was developed «Methodology for the development of situational tasks (case-tasks) for the accreditation of doctors in the conditions of on-line learning». To implement the educational process a teaching aid and didactic material were prepared to help authors in developing problems.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

The methodological features of the practical skills formation in the conditions of on-line education are construction of the educational process based on the principle of individualization and the principle of consciousness and activity of students under the leadership of a teacher. The educational program determines the content of the educational process for the practical skills formation in the conditions of on-line learning. The organization of students’ activities in the conditions of on-line learning should include both the theoretical stage of training and the practical stage while the practical stage of training dominates the theoretical stage. The choice of forms and methods of teaching in the practical skills formation in the conditions of on-line learning should be aimed at the possibility of individual work with each student in gaining experience of practical skills. Learning technologies in on-line learning conditions should ensure continuous and active interaction between teachers and students. Important conditions for achieving the planned result in the conditions of on-line learning are the following: a) continuous maintenance of work motivation among students at all stages of training; b) the phased organization of students’ activities; c) operational provision of students with didactic material in accordance with the goals and objectives of the cycle; d) operational feedback at each stage of students’ activities.
