В статье обсуждаются верифицированные на основе метода субъективного шкалирования результаты свободного ассоциативного эксперимента, проведенного с участием студентов медицинского вуза, которым в качестве стимулов были предложены медицинские термины, называющие болезни. Особое внимание уделяется динамике эмоционально-оценочной составляющей значения медицинского термина, которая обусловлена разным уровнем профессиональных компетенций воспринимающих термин испытуемых. The article discusses the results of two psycholinguistic experiments: free associative experiment and subjective scaling with the participation of medical university students who worked with medical terms naming diseases as stimuli. Special attention is paid to the dynamics of the emotional-evaluative component, represented in the psychological structure of the meaning of the medical term, associated with different levels of professional competencies of the subjects perceiving the term.

The authors investigated associations between smartphone use and chronotype. To 196 medical university students, they administered a set of self-reporting questionnaires designed to evaluate smartphone use and chronotype. Respondents were categorized into morning types and evening types: for females, the evening types scored higher for smartphone dependence; the authors also found greater duration of Web browsing service, in particular Twitter, in the evening types. No such correlation was found for male respondents. These findings provide evidence that, particularly for females, smartphone use and/or dependence may be related to chronotype.

Abstract Background: WeChat and micro-courses have become important tools for improving medical education. However, most research just focused on one of them, and investigations about “WeChat + micro-courses” teaching mode were still lacking. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate medical students’ use of WeChat and micro-courses and to analyze the possibility of “WeChat + micro-courses” teaching mode.Methods: This investigation was conducted among 534 full-time undergraduates in Nanjing Medical University. A self-reported questionnaire was adopted to collect data. Data were entered and checked with EpiData 3.0 and were analyzed with STATA 13.Results: 534 participants successfully completed the questionnaires. Most students in all specialties used WeChat. More students in preventive medicine subscribed to OAs related to other majors (χ2 = 28.49, P < 0.01). In three majors, almost 80% of students spent less than 10 minutes or 10-30 minutes browsing OA articles every day. As for micro-courses, using frequency in biostatistics was significantly higher than that in preventive medicine and hygienic analysis and detection (χ2 = 16.68, P < 0.01). Plenty of students complained about the lack of interactions while learning with micro-courses.Conclusions: It was promising to apply “WeChat + micro-courses” mode in medical education.

This study was designed to see whether electronic feedback positively affects medical students’ academic writing performance. Two groups of medical university students were randomly selected and participated in this study. In order to see whether the provision of electronic feedback for the compulsory academic writing course for medical students is effective, the researchers divided 50 medical students to the traditional (n=25) and intervention groups (n=25). Pre-test and post-test were conducted at the beginning and at the end of the semester. Electronic feedback was given to the medical students in the intervention group, while the medical students in the traditional group received the traditional pen and paper feedback. By comparing the scores of two written assignments at the beginning and the end of the semester, regarding the application of electronic feedback, the results showed that not only medical students’ overall writing performance improved after providing them electronic feedback, but every single writing component was also enhanced after the intervention. There was a significant difference in the post-test academic writing scores between the traditional and intervention groups (P < 0.001). This difference was not significant in our control group who was given pen-and-paper feedback. In terms of specific writing components, the most affected components in this approach were content followed by organization, language use, vocabulary, and sentence mechanics, respectively. Although this study focused on medical students’ academic writing ability and reported the effect of electronic feedback on medical students’ writing performance, electronic feedback can be equally beneficial for enhancing student-practitioners’ practical clinical skills.

The article is devoted to the study of the place of historical disciplines in the formation of general cultural competencies of medical students studying in medical and humanitarian specialties. A theoretical analysis of the topic in domestic and foreign historical and pedagogical science is carried out. The necessity of the presence of historical disciplines in the system of higher professional medical education has been substantiated. On the basis of many years of pedagogical experience, pedagogical technologies developed by the authors are presented, which most fully form general cultural and professional competencies within the framework of historical disciplines. The data of pedagogical research on the stated topic are given, the opinions of students about the content of historical disciplines, about the process of forming knowledge, abilities and skills in the general training of a student of a medical university are explicated. The practical significance of the study for improving the pedagogical process in the classroom at a medical university is reflected.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the information that university students have on epilepsy and to compare the differences in attitudes and perception among groups with different levels of information. METHODS: A questionnaire with 13 questions regarding knowledge, attitudes and perception about epilepsy was completed by first, third and sixth year medical students and to students from Arts and Science courses. RESULTS: First year medical students gave inadequate answers, especially with regard to information about epilepsy and actions to take during seizures. Answers of third and sixth year medical students were more adequate. Arts and Science students gave the poorest responses in relation to specialist information and attitudes regarding epilepsy. DISCUSSION: This study suggests that there is an inverse relationship between knowledge and stigma on epilepsy. Nevertheless, the best results did not reflect an ideal situation, revealing an urgent need for an improved level of overall health education programs. This can be achieved by implementing educational policies, training programs and the universal inclusion of these subjects in the global educational program.

In the experimental studies conducted to date, the connection of the locus of human control with various forms of its behaviour and personal properties has been revealed. At the same time, the question of the peculiarities of self-attitude of university students with different levels of subjective control requires further study. This article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the psychological structure of self-attitude among university students with an internal and external locus of control. As a result of empirical research, it was determined that students with an internal locus of control significantly outperform students with an external locus of control in terms of the degree of expression of such parameters of self-attitude as "Self-confidence", "Reflected self-attitude", "Self-acceptance". The greatest differences between students with different levels of subjective control are found in the degree of expression of such a parameter of self-attitude as “Self-confidence”. It is concluded that students with an internal type of control have a more positive self-attitude than students with an external type of control. It is established that students with an internal locus of control have a greater number of positive correlations between the parameters of self-attitude and the corresponding greater integration of the psychological structure of self-attitude in comparison with students with an external locus of control.

The article deals with the peculiarities of the development and assessment of medical university students’ professional identity in a foreign language classroom. The main purpose of the study is to determine whether medical students are aware of the possibilities of their professional self-realization, what are their plans and motives regarding further career, as well as to identify possible ways to improve and develop their professional identity and positive professional image. It is successfully carried out while studying the future profession and its characteristic features through the comparative analysis of the Russian and foreign educational systems, medical professional activities in different countries of the world. The expediency of a wider use of active learning technologies in the educational process of a modern medical university in order to intensify self-determination and self-identification of students is shown. The results of a survey of medical university students are presented. It is revealed that future doctors come to the profession quite consciously, but at the same time they are practice-oriented and narrowly focused. It is concluded that there is a need to expand students’ ideas about the prospects and opportunities of their future profession, while a foreign language class can serve as a good platform for the development of a positive professional “Self-image”. It is shown that professional identity development in a foreign language class can be focused on several aspects: direct — working with professionally oriented foreign language skills as a component of a positive “I-image” of a specialist and indirect — having an impact through the studied content, formation of an attitude towards the chosen profession.
