Conducting practical classes in medical chemistry during distance learning

Abstract

Annotation. The purpose of this work was to share the experience of working with students in the conditions of distance learning. Practical classes in medical chemistry consist of theoretical and practical parts. Theoretical concepts reveal the essence of physical and chemical phenomena, which must be confirmed by practical works. Practical (laboratory) classes are one of the most important forms of the educational and pedagogical process, during which students acquire the skills of experimental work, the ability to work with devices, independently draw conclusions from the obtained data, which determines the in-depth assimilation of the theoretical material of the discipline. Experiments should be clear and convincing, and confirm theoretical concepts. But modern conditions (quarantine, military actions, blackouts, air raids) call for adjustments to the educational process. It is necessary to organize the educational process in such a way as to give students exhaustive knowledge within the scope of the program. Lectures should carry the maximum amount of information necessary for the assimilation of theoretical material and the possibility of using it to explain processes in a living organism. Practical works should form students' creative approach to certain phenomena, abilities and skills of independent search, analysis and evaluation of information.
