Methodological approaches to teaching biological disciplines in a pedagogical university

Modern teaching of the disciplines «Histology» and «Human Anatomy» in pedagogical universities is characterized by the introduction of new methodological approaches, the use of both traditional and innovative forms and methods of teaching, which makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of the educational process, develop cognitive and analytical abilities of students, form personal and professional qualities of students. For the rational use of the hourly fund allocated to the study of biological disciplines, it is necessary to update the content, forms and methods of classroom training, as well as independent extracurricular work of students. The article presents the experience of implementing modern methodological approaches (problem-oriented, health-saving) using innovative forms and methods (interdisciplinary integrated laboratory classes, subject conferences, round tables, quizzes) of teaching students of pedagogical university disciplines «Histology with the basics of embryology» and «Human Anatomy». The resources of the interfaculty technopark of universal pedagogical competencies and the pedagogical technopark «Quantorium» of South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University were used in the classroom for greater visualization of the educational material on the studied disciplines. The effectiveness of the conducted training sessions using innovative forms and methods of teaching is evidenced by the results of testing students and improving the quality of academic performance in these disciplines.
