MEANS OF EDUCATION IN TEACHING HUMAN ANATOMY

Abstract

The article is dedicated to teaching aids (TA) and methods of their use in the process of teaching human anatomy at a medical university. The purpose of our work is to study the features of using traditional and computer-assisted TA in classroom, other contact, as well as the work performed by medical students independently in the process of studying the basic discipline of human anatomy. Recommendations on the use of teaching aids in human anatomy classes are offered. They are based on the results of questioning students after the exam at the end of the semester, student feedback, as well as the experience of teachers of the Department of Human Anatomy of Sechenov University. It is appropriate to use complexes of TAs, including not only traditional TAs (diagrams, tables, anatomical figures, etc.) in the process of teaching “Human Anatomy” at a university, but also interactive multimedia teaching models, means of new information technologies, in particular, anatomical table. Virtual anatomy effectively helps students with the study of anatomical organs and systems, offering images of organs in several planes, allowing students to consider all the anatomical structures in various aspects (CT, MRI, 3D). The studying of “Human Anatomy” via means of new information technologies allows students to understand the most complex theoretical questions on anatomy; encourages students to explore and dissect the human model in different ways.
