DESIGNING THE CONTENTS OF THE DISCIPLINE “MATHEMATICS” FOR TEACHING FUTURE DOCTORS AT A UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article discusses problems of designing the contents of the discipline “Mathematics” in order to improve the system of training medical students at a university. In the context of the transformation in the field of education, there is a transition to personality-oriented learning that takes into account the capabilities and educational needs of a student. Based on the analysis of scientific works the researcher has established that the rethinking of the activities done by the participants of the educational process and the development of new goals, content, forms, methods and means of teaching can be implemented at the university using the theory of contextual learning. The paper reveals general approaches to designing the contents of the disciplines constituting the main professional educational programs of higher education in the context of competence-based learning, the implementation of which is presented by the example of developing the contents of the discipline “Mathematics” for teaching students majoring in General Medicine. The results of the study will be useful to teachers involved in the implementation of mathematical disciplines in universities.
