RESEARCH OF THE TEACHING EFFICIENCY THE SECTION "THERMAL TRAUMA" USING INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES.

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Collaborative Learning
• Pedagogy

Background:

• Traditional medical education often lacks sufficient emphasis on collaborative skill development.
• Interactive technologies and cooperative learning methods offer potential to enhance student engagement and knowledge acquisition.
• Developing clinical reasoning and teamwork is crucial for future medical professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the cooperative group method in medical education.
• To foster an educational community among students through interactive learning.
• To improve students' skills in patient care, particularly in burn management.

Main Methods:

• Implementation of a three-stage cooperative group lesson for 79 third-year medical students.
• Group assignments focused on identifying common features in burn patient care schemes.
• Assessment included situational tasks, bonus points for soft skills, and descriptive/correlation-regression analysis.

Main Results:

• The cooperative group method significantly increased student motivation and knowledge assimilation.
• Students demonstrated improved clinical thinking and a greater appreciation for teamwork.
• The study provided a framework for developing algorithms for first aid and treatment of burn patients.

Conclusions:

• Cooperative group learning is an effective pedagogical tool in medical education.
• This method enhances deep learning, clinical reasoning, and essential professional qualities.
• It prepares students for collaborative practice and promotes a sense of responsibility in patient care.
