Abstract

The article presents the results of scientific analysis of the concept of health-preserving competence (HPC), which is identified as an indivisible component of system of education of Ukraine, as well as the prerequisite for introduction of New Ukrainian School (NUS). Peculiarities of HPC functioning in terms of distance learning application are singled out and described. Author’s questionary was designed in order to accomplish the objectives of research; thus, a survey aimed at gathering and processing statistical data on formation of health-preserving competence of education seekers during Ukrainian language classes in the conditions of distance learning in institutions of higher medical education. The survey results indicated that level of formation of above-mentioned competence varies from high to low depending on the type and features of technical means of distance learning as well as they level of integration into the educational process. Moreover, level of HPC directly impacts the health of applicant for higher education by causing negative tendencies, such as inability to concentrate on the tasks given and/or new material that is being presented via means of distance learning, low level of interest and involvement into educational activities, accidental loss of track of time, feeling of disorientation etc., which, in their turn, can potentially decrease the quality of knowledge obtained as well as skills that are being formed. This negative phenomenon can also potentially affect all aspects of training of future healthcare professionals thus this issue requires dedicated scientific research and proper methodical and methodological recommendation.

Perspectives of future research imply proper analysis of the level of development of HPC in applicant for higher education of different years of study as well as to distinguish the factors that negatively impact the formation of health-preserving competence under the conditions of continuous distance learning; corresponding recommendations for the educators of MHEIs aimed at improving the quality of knowledge obtained by the students as well as the skills formed will be designed.
