TYPICAL ERRORS ENCOUNTERED BY MEDICAL STUDENTS WHEN TRANSLATING ANATOMICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL TERMS INTO LATIN

Abstract

The article discusses the control of knowledge of medical students studying the discipline of Latin. The purpose of the article is to identify mistakes in medical students when translating anatomical and histological terms from Russian into Latin using tests in the SEDO Moodle and systematize them for further work. As a result of testing in the section “Anatomical and histological terminology”, the following typical mistakes were revealed when translating into Latin by medical students: mistakes when agreeing adjectives with nouns; mistakes in determining the case and number of dependent nouns, identifying the practical basis of nouns in the third declension, word order in a phrase; also rare mistakes, such as missing words in phrases. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the data can serve as a basis for compiling tests, assignments during practical classes, examination tickets, manuals, and should also be taken into account when compiling assignments when checking the residual knowledge of the Latin language and the basics of medical terminology.
