SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO TEACHING BIOPHYSICS TO STUDENTS OF MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The theoretical part of the study analyzes the content of the principle of systematicity as a method of scientific research of complex systems, on the one hand, and as a principle of learning in combination with other didactic principles, on the other hand. The article highlights the possibilities of a systematic approach in scientific research and the systematic principle of learning for the implementation of the tasks of the Strategy for the Development of Medical Education in Ukraine in order to form the competencies of future doctors. The methodology of the systemic approach is analyzed using the example of various areas of modern biomedical science and medical and biophysical research. The methodology of using systemic analysis in education is demonstrated using the example of studying scientific and natural disciplines (primarily medical and biological physics) in medical institutions of higher education. In the practical part of the study, an elective course based on a systemic approach to studying of molecular DNA biophysics by students has been developed and implemented. The structural and logical scheme of knowledge of this course «Molecular-biophysical and bioinformatics principles of DNA technologies» is described, in which, based on a systemic approach, fundamental knowledge of molecular biophysics is combined with biomedical knowledge. Taking into account the results of the analysis of the use of the principle of systematization for solving problems in medicine and biological physics, structural-logical knowledge schemes, test tasks, computer programs, and video applications have been developed to support interdisciplinary integration of knowledge in molecular biophysics of DNA, medical genetics, and bioinformatics, as well as for propaedeutics in the formation of the foundations of clinical thinking.
