Abstract

This article discusses the methodology of future doctors’ media competence formation in the process of preclinical training at the medical university. The study considers methodology as the organization of scientific research with the articulation of a concept and the selection of research methods. The methodological basis of our research is revealed at four levels: philosophical, general scientific, specific scientific and technological.
The provisions of the philosophy of education on continuous professional growth and individual self-development, the concept of human-centrism in medicine and education are attributed to the philosophical level of research. The concept of research of future doctors’ media competence formation in the process of preclinical professional training at the medical university was determined on the basis of the general scientific level including a set of methodological and theoretical provisions. The study was carried out on the basis of systemic, axiological, acmeological, activity-oriented, personality-oriented and competence-based approaches. It allows to consider the problem of future doctors’ media competence formation as an interdisciplinary one, which requires knowledge integration in the process of preclinical professional training at the medical university.
Theoretical and methodological provisions on vocational education, development of continuing professional education, the structure of the media competence of future doctors are revealed at the specific scientific level. Technological level of research includes technologies for the implementation of organizational and methodological foundations, the choice of means and methods for obtaining empirical data and a system of research methods of future doctors’ media competence formation in the process of preclinical training at the medical university.
