Abstract

The article analyzes the current problems of on-line learning in medical students. Methodological bases are substantiated and directions of using of different types of test control in the structure of learning of students during studying of clinical disciplines applied. The improvement of the organization of independent work of students and working off of practical skills in the conditions of partial or full transition to distance learning is defined. The advantages of using such effective assessment methods as clinically oriented test tasks, case methods, online testing, work in small groups, and the use of educational computer programs as the main components of technology of problem-based learning are analyzed. It is determined that the use of modern teaching methods in the educational process will increase students' motivation to study clinical disciplines, the quality of learning and effective assessment of the quality of student training at all stages of the educational process, improve dialogue between teacher and student.
