Abstract:

The reforms taking place in the educational process of higher professional schools impose new requirements on the quality of training of students, future professionals in the field of medicine and healthcare. In modern society, graduates of higher educational medical institutions require new professional thinking, high mobility, competence, tolerance, and orientation towards intragroup activities carried out in teams. The introduction of a team form of training organization makes it possible to create an environment that allows medical students to master the skills and abilities of business interaction and cooperation, to form their ability to think critically, which includes the ability to think creatively, use new information and apply the acquired knowledge in practice.

The topic of studying the learning process aimed at developing the ability of medical students to work in teams, and applying it in practice, is relevant and attracts the attention of both Russian and foreign researchers. According to their point of view, the process of studying at universities should be organized in such a way that future specialists in the field of medicine can master various professional competencies they need in their professional activities. The formation of the ability to work in teams is included in the content of many educational programs, but in some cases this competence is practically not implemented in the learning process. Despite the fact that foreign language teachers develop many ways of teaching, including the development of reading, writing, listening skills, they realize that one of the important tasks for them is how to teach students to work in teams. The implementation of student project work in teams in foreign language classes contributes to the improvement of their mental activity, the expansion of communication skills, the development of written competence and increased motivation. Thus, the formation of the ability of medical students to work in teams is possible only with purposeful and systematic training.
