Special attention should be paid to the motivation of educational process, because, the motives themselves, directly affect the quality of professional training and the formation of a professional personality. The aim of the article is to investigate the motivational structure of the students’ educational activity in the dental community and its relationship with academic achievement in the discipline “Therapeutic dentistry”. The structure of motivation for the educational activity of 161 fourth year dental students was studied by the methodology of I. T. Ilyina, which involves the study of motivation according to three scales: “Acquisition of knowledge”, “Mastering the profession” and “Obtaining a diploma”. The interrelation between different types of motivation and the academic success of the interviewed students is studied. It was established that in the structure of motivation of educational activity of dental students positive motives prevail over negative ones in 2.4 times, which indicates the qualitatively high level of motivation of these students. The rather high level of motivation of the interviewed students is probably related to the prestige of the chosen profession, its social significance and sufficient material security. With students who have high and average index of academic achievement cognitive and professional motives are uppermost, which indicates their orientation to obtain strong professional knowledge and practical skills. Students with a low index of academic achievement have a dominant pragmatic motivation for learning, which indicates their superficial motivation in order to achieve the main goal — obtaining a diploma. The given results testify to the favorable influence of positive motivation on academic achievement of students of the dental profile and, as a consequence, on the level of professional training of doctors in the field of “Dentistry”. The prospect of further research is the introduction into the educational processes of the Department of Therapeutical Stomatology in National Pirogov Memorial Medical University innovative pedagogical methods that motivate for educational activity, and research of their influence on the level of academic achievement of dental students.
The aim of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the “Business Game” method in shaping the skills of a future dentist among students of the 5th year of the dental faculty. The main part of the article includes the experience of using the method of “Business Game” at the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry at National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, which facilitates the formation of professional skills and abilities of the future dentist in conditions that are as close as possible to practical health care, stimulates active participation of students in collective collaboration, promotes the introduction of interdisciplinary integration into the educational process. Modelling the professional situation using the “Business Game” method allows students not only to solve the problem, but also to develop tactics of behaviour in conditions that are most closely related to the actual clinical situation that they will encounter during practical activities. They learn to work in a team, defend their own opinion, hold discussions with their opponents. Educational games allow you to improve practical skills and teach students to solve complex clinical problems in the absence of a patient. Using role-playing games during practical classes can increase the interest of students in future professional activities. So, Application of interactive methods in the educational process allowed to reveal the creative abilities of students, promoted the development of clinical thought, the practice of practical skills and skills in conditions that are as close as possible to practical health care. The study showed that the use of the “Business Game” method has increased material absorption by 11.2% compared to the control group. “Business games” stimulates active participation of all students in collective cooperation, promotes the introduction of interdisciplinary integration into the educational process. The usage of the “Business Game” improves the quality of clinical training of the future dentist in the context of reforming the modern health system.
