INTRODUCTION OF LEARNING EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH COMPONENTS ON THE LESSON EXAMPLE «PREPARATION OF OINTMENTS»

Abstract

The modern process of increasing the efficiency of the provision of educational services involves a purposeful system of interconnection of educational and research activities of students of higher education. Education with the help of active inclusion of students of higher education in research work ensures the development of a creative personality and the formation of self-regulation of one’s own activities. Graduates of higher education institutions should be able to analyze, compare, qualify, generalize, quickly find the necessary information, think logically, use new scientific knowledge in their professional activities, plan, organize and conduct research activities. In this connection, the development of means, mechanisms, technologies, and approaches to the organization of effective research activity of higher education students becomes relevant. The analysis of classical and advanced scientific approaches to the process of formation of research competence among students of higher education at the Drugs Technology Department of the National University of Pharmacy allowed to develop a model of the methodology and assessment of the formation of educational and research competence in the process of studying the educational component «Pharmacy-based Technology of Drugs». An important feature of the organization of research work of students of higher education is the introduction of elements of research work during laboratory and practical classes. The article presents the experience of conducting classes on the preparation of ointments using classic pharmacy technology and improved (using modern equipment). In order to compare the efficiency of using modern equipment, students of higher education in the class produced emulsion ointment according to the classic technology of manufacturing extemporaneous dosage forms and using the modern homogenizer «Silent Crusher M». During the analysis of the results of the educational and experimental research using the example of the lesson «Preparation of ointments», students of higher education were able to work out the order of technological operations, parameters and method of mixing ointments depending on the type of dispersion system, compare the quality of ointments made by classical and advanced technologies. The introduction of fragments of scientific and research work into the structure of classes will help students of higher education to increase the level of development of motivational, cognitive, activity and personal components of educational and research activities. The results of the research can be used in the organization of classes on the educational component «Pharmacy-based Technology of Drugs», as well as in improving the methodical training of teachers.
