Annotation. Ukraine's entry into the world community is impossible without the modernization of the higher education system aimed to train specialists at the level of international requirements. The purpose of this research was to uncover the potential of the medical chemistry subject for the development of the medical student's personality, the acquisition of practical skills, and the formation of the chemical competence of the future doctors by improving the educational process. In 2019–2020 the new scheme of conducting workshops on certain topics of the discipline “Medical Chemistry” was proposed that involved combining two related workshops in a way that the first class would be purely theoretical and the second would give students practical skills on the topic. It was tested on 450 first-year medical students. The effectiveness of the application of the new method of workshops was evaluated on the basis of comparison of indices of differential credit in medical chemistry (absolute and qualitative success, average mark). Student's parametric t-test was used to estimate the intergroup difference, while at the same time the frequency of the change was estimated by the F Fisher criterion. The methodology presented in the research provides the means of improvement of skills and knowledge of the discipline “Medical Chemistry”, forms students’ interest to the subjects, ensures better learning of theoretical content, skills in usage of chemical vessels and equipment, critical thinking, evaluating the results obtained and making conclusions. Use of proposed learning scheme in 2019–2020 statistically did not show significant difference in the grades of students, who study a discipline “Medical Chemistry” compared to normal learning process. On the other hand, it recorded statistically reliable increase of 14,2% in the absolute grades of 1st year students compared to 2018–2019 results, which demonstrates the potential of its use in an educational process.

The article considers the people with muscle-skeleton disorders (hereinafter "MSDs") who suffer from the effects cerebral palsy, myopathy and spinal diseases. The article aims to determine, theoretically justify and experimentally verify the pedagogical conditions for the socialization of people with MSDs in rehabilitation centres. All the respondents had MSDs, namely: 76 respondents-pediatric cerebral palsy; 19 respondents-myopathy; 10 respondents-spinal diseases. It must be noted that 11 respondents, apart from MSDs, had intellectual disabilities (F 71). The experiment involved 59 males and 46 females. The age requirement was the following: 56 respondents aged between 14 and 17; 49 respondents aged between 18 and 19. The socialization programme, verified during the formative experiment, involved working with people with MSDs based on all socialization components; methodological work with the teaching staff of rehabilitation centres; parents. The programme included such specialized courses as Human Rights, Gardenotherapy; dance therapy; photography classes; a support group for parents of children with MSDs. Before the beginning of the experiment, only 11.55% of persons with MSDs had a high level of socialization. After the formative experiment, the number increased to 30.45%. Besides, 44.1% of people have a sufficient level of social skills. The implementation of the designed programme as a condition for the socialization of people with MSDs has made it possible to significantly increase the level of social skills in people with MSDs in the experimental group.

A professional, working in dangerous conditions, requires a high level of steadfastness to stress, caution, and responsibility. The goal of the research is aimed at theoretical and empirical disclosing of the essence of emotional intelligence in employees of risky professions. Emotional intelligence is seen as a leading personal competence and ability. The structural components of emotional intelligence are analyzed in detail from the points of view of well-known foreign and domestic psychologists. The integrative indicators of emotional intelligence have been empirically revealed in rescue workers and patrol officers. In our study participated 1000 respondents with the same length of service in 4 years, in particular: firefighters (n = 500); patrol officers (n = 500). The psycho-diagnostic tools included: Hall test, Russian version of the test of emotional intelligence of J. Meyer, P. Salovey, D.Caruso MSCEIT-V2.0 in the adapted version of O. Sergiienko, I. Vetrova and the method of studying the professional identity of L. Schneider. The respondents showed a low level of development of emotional intelligence. However, the differences were also revealed, in particular, it is more clearly for firefighters to understand their own emotions, but for law enforcement officers the practical use of emotions is in priority. At the same time, the common problem is inability to manage own emotional experiences.
