WAYS TO ACTIVATE ATTENTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS IN CLASS (WITH REFERENCE TO TEACHING “FORENSIC MEDICINE”, “FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY”, “FIRST AID”)

Abstract

The article discusses the specifics of training students in conditions of the need to attract increased attention in classes of academic disciplines in a university. The authors of the article focus on methods of teaching, including active and interactive ones, which allow students to enhance their attention in the classroom. The quality of learning depends directly on how much the student is involved in the learning process. It became possible to achieve increased attention of trainees when the authors used both traditional and innovative teaching tools, such as the use of game technologies in practical classes, gradation of educational tasks when solving situational tasks by trainees, the use of tasks with planned errors in the classroom, as well as a number of other methods. The researchers give examples of the use of methods of activating attention in teaching practical disciplines to cadets and law students with reference to such subjects as “Forensic Medicine”, “Forensic Psychiatry” and “First Aid”.
