The article deals with transitivity processes in the field of higher medical education. Several trends related to transitivity processes are highlighted: the high demand for medical education with a shortage of qualified specialists; the continuing medical education and the introduction of an accreditation exam; the introduction of distance technologies, simulation and e-learning; specialist mobility. Thus, the educational process in the context of transitivity processes in the field of medical education should be focused on the formation of self-improvement skills, self-education. The article describes the functions of the students’ independent work in a medical university and the conditions that increase the effectiveness of the educational process. The article defines the role of the organization of student’s independent work in the development of self-education and self-improvement skills. The student’s independent work is considered as one of the forms that allow students to develop self-education and self-improvement skills, taking into account their abilities. The independent work as a form of self-improvement is aimed at developing the skills of independent search and choice of problem solutions; developing the skills of information analysis when working with a large volume of educational material; provides the development of critical thinking skills; stimulating the skills of evaluative and reflexive activity in the context of dynamic changes in the professional sphere.

The internet is increasingly used to propagate medical education, debate, and even disinformation. Therefore, this primer aims to help acute care medical professionals, as well as the public. This is because we all need to be able to critically appraise digital products, appraise content producers, and reflect upon our own on-line presence. This article discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with online medical resources. We then review Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAMed) and the key tools used to assess the trustworthiness of on-line medical products. Specifically, after discussing the pros and cons of traditional academic quality metrics, we compare and contrast the Social Media Index, the ALiEM AIR score, the Revised METRIQ Score, and gestalt. We also discuss internet search engines, peer review, and the important message behind the seemingly tongue-in-cheek Kardashian Index. Hopefully, this primer bolsters basic digital literacy and helps trainees, practitioners, and the public locate useful and reliable on-line resources. Importantly, we highlight the continued importance of traditional academic medicine and primary source publications.

A pesquisa teve como objetivo principal apresentar como as principais teorias de aprendizagem se adaptam às modalidades de ensino a distância, sendo os objetivos secundários identificar e apresentar as características das doutrinas utilizadas na elaboração das arquiteturas pedagógicas no EaD. Em função de ser esse o canal de maior expansão e que frequentemente se atualiza das ferramentas tecnológicas utilizadas pela sociedade, o estudo foi realizado no EaD on-line. Foram abordadas as teorias de aprendizagem mais conhecidas e exploradas nos trabalhos de EaD, sendo elas: behaviorista, cognitivista, sociocultural e construtivista. As arquiteturas pedagógicas estudadas foram: a de estudo de caso ou resolução de problema, aprendizagem incidente e de ação simulada. Após estudo das teorias pedagógicas e modelos de arquitetura apresentados, foi possível estabelecer uma relação direta entre um e outro, além de identificar variações: na atuação do papel do professor e no modo operante de como ocorre o ensino a distância para o alcance do propósito final. O resultado final confirma a suposição inicial da pesquisa de que não existe uma teoria específica para o EaD, e que tudo vai variar de acordo com o propósito do curso.Palavras-chave: Teoria de aprendizagem; Arquitetura de aprendizagem; Ensino a distância. Learning Theories and Architectures Pedagogical: The Relationship Between Both in Distance Learning Abstract The research mainly aimed to present how the main learning theories adapt to teaching from a distance. The secondary objective is to identify and present characteristics of the doctrines used in preparing the pedagogical architectures in e-learning courses. The study was conducted online because  e-learning is the largest expanded and connected channel that frequently updates technologic tools used by society. In this work, the best known and explored learning theories in the works distance e-learning have been addressed,, namely: behavioral, cognitive, and sociocultural constructivist. The pedagogical architectures studied were: case study or problem solving, learning incident, and simulated action. After studying the pedagogical theories and architectural models presented, it was possible to establish a direct relationship between them, and identify variations such as the role of the teacher in e-learning for reaching the final purpose. The final result confirms the initial assumption of the research that there is no specific theory for e-learning and that everything will vary according with the purpose of the course. The growing demand for education courses in e-learning and the popularization of internet access will allow new architectural models pedagogical to be created in the future, but always with the support of some learning theory. It is believed that with the passage of time and an increasing empirical basis, there can be more exploration of other theories.Keywords: Learning theory; Learning architecture; Distance learning.

Implementing a performant knowledge management system in military institutions involves emphasizing the role of the organizational dimension that promotes learning, increasing the quality of employees' work and consolidating managers in these institutions as leaders who encourage learning at all levels. The objectives of knowledge acquisition must be defined in such a way as to improve performance and support the trust of the beneficiary of the public service provided. The development of organizational culture within the institution allows people to adopt new values, attitudes and behaviors. Investing in an efficient knowledge management system involves the development of training and education programs that contribute to improving the skills of employees and knowledge sharing both vertically and horizontally, in order to provide quality public service and create value within the community. Knowledge management can be implemented more efficiently and beneficially in the context of the increasing use of technology in educational activities. Thus, integration of e-learning in knowledge management systems allows the removal of space and time barriers from learning. The question is whether current e-learning systems meet the requirements of knowledge management and provide results comparable to those obtained through traditional learning.

BACKGROUND: The use of e-learning has become mandatory during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are many barriers to applying e-learning in medical education. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore medical students’ perspectives on the application of e-learning in medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This Q-methodology explorative study was conducted in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. A sample of 37 medical students was purposively selected to represent different characteristics. The students distributed 37 statements representing different aspects of e-learning in medical education into a nine-point scoring grid from “least agree” to “most agree.” RESULTS: Data analysis revealed three distinct viewpoints. The first viewpoint, complete dependence on e-learning, emphasized a preference for e-learning to continue medical education and complete the study year with a minimal return to study halls or practical/clinical sessions. The second viewpoint, opponents of applying e-learning in medical education, included a generally negative view about e-learning and its role in medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The third viewpoint, e-learning as a supplement to medical education, emphasized a generally positive view about e-learning and considered it a supplement to the theoretical parts of medical education during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: The three diverse viewpoints are primarily distinguished by the availability of e-learning experience and skills, availability of technology, risk perception of COVID-19, and the need for in-hospital clinical teaching. Provision of necessary facilities and training is required to strengthen the role of e-learning in medical education. A safe environment is needed for on-campus or hospital clinical teaching.

In the 21st century, medicine alongside with medical education, is a dynamically developing industry, and is experiencing a real renaissance of its development. New technologies are gradually replacing the old methods, which undoubtedly increases the quality of provided services, reducing the probability of medical errors, and favourably affects the mortality rate (for example, echocardiography, both transthoracic and intra-oesophageal, has replaced percussion and heart palpation). However, relatively old methods, for example, such as auscultation of the heart, still do not lose their significance or effectiveness, in particular, it is worth noting the high information content of this instrumental examination when dealing with valvular pathologies of the heart (for example, critical aortic stenosis). It is known that any educational institution, in particular, a medical one, must keep abreast of the times and correspond to modern needs. The management of medical universities, making long-term strategies for their development, in order to increase competitiveness, both their own and the one of their students, should maximally provide their clinics with the latest equipment, which will undoubtedly allow preserving its niche, perhaps at the regional or world level. For example, the Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi is of inter-regional importance, being the leading medical educational institution among the countries of the Caucasus and the Anterior Asia. In the process of introducing new technologies among students of medical universities, a competence-based approach is the opening of highly equipped imulation centres, where the future doctor and/or a certain doctor will be given a unique in the medical world chance, a chance for error, since it is well-known that a doctor’s mistake can cost life of the whole people. This article is devoted to the pivotal role of the simulation centre within the modern educational system of medical universities as well as the strategy for its construction. Keywords: medical education, doctor, simulation centre.
