Improving the Quality of Education in the Logic of a Contextual Approach

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of improving the quality of training for future nurses. The problem identified by the author - the discrepancy between traditional vocational education and the needs of society and the requirements of employers - indicates the need to use innovative pedagogical technologies. One of the key vectors for solving the indicated problem, according to the author, is the deepening and scaling of practice-oriented teaching of students, carried out using a contextual approach. The implementation of this approach not only provides an inextricable link between theoretical knowledge and future professional activities, but also gives students the opportunity to understand and feel themselves in the real situation of the production process. This is achieved by quasi-professional activities of students on simulation sites, which contribute to their acquisition of primary practical experience. The use of a contextual approach in the educational process of a medical college indicates an improvement in the quality of graduate training.
