"SOCRATIC METHOD" IN MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF PHILOSOPHY)
The proposed study addresses the current problem of finding new educational paradigms. The subject of this research is the study of the application of the so-called «Socratic method» in modern pedagogy of higher education. Socrates reached the heights of pedagogical excellence, bringing up a huge galaxy of great scientists. The formation of personality in Socrates is its moral formation, and the philosopher's education and upbringing are inseparably and organically linked. The ideal of Socrates is a free highly moral person with a clear ideological position. The purpose of the research: to find the algorithm of the «Socratic method» and its application in the modern educational system. To achieve this goal, the following methods are used: dialectics, comparative and logical analysis, hermeneutical analysis. In addition, the author draws on his own 28 years of teaching experience in high school. Novelty: The algorithm of the Socratic method is derived. The «Socratic method» is compared with the methods of the «school of free development», with the heuristic method, with the ideas of problem-based learning and «creative pedagogy». It is proposed to use the «Socratic method» in a medical university on the basis of the current federal state educational standard (3) on the example of teaching philosophy in a medical university. Specific problem tasks, questions for discussion, topics of philosophical essays for medical students are indicated. We consider all the components of the «Socratic method: dialogue, conversation, discussion, debate, dialectics, induction. The humanizing component of the method is considered, namely the formation of a holistic personality. Conclusion: modern pedagogy in search of new educational technologies should use all historical experience. Socrates has overtaken time, but his ideas of self-knowledge, self-education, self-creation are still relevant and in demand.
