PRACTICAL NEED AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS IN CONSTRUCTING THE CONTENT OF PHYSICS AT MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES
The article highlights the problem of building the physics content at medical universities. The need to consider the content of physical education in medical universities in Russia is represented due to the introduction of new Federal State Educational Standards. Taking into account the current standards, all disciplines of the curriculum are updated, including the integrative discipline "Physics, Mathematics". The study identified modern aspects of physical education at a medical university, analyzed the results of a questionnaire and a survey among teachers of medical universities, formulated the problems of constructing the content of physics taught at a medical university. The authors proposed the use of a combined approach to building the content of physics taught at a medical university in such specialties as 31.05.01 General Medicine (specialist level), 31.05.02 Pediatrics (specialist level), 31.05.03 Dentistry (specialist level), 33.05.01 Pharmacy (specialty level), 32.05.01 Medical and preventive work (specialty level). The construction of the content of physics, the study of which is focused on medicine and biology, is proposed to be carried out on the basis of the following principles: the principle of professional orientation in the construction of the content of physics taught at a medical university (according to Yu.K. Babansky); the principle of the fundamentality of the content of physics taught at a medical university (E.V. Plashchevaya, O.V. Mirzabekova, L.V. Maslenikova, etc.); the principle of combination of convergence and integration (convergent integration principle).
