Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to prove the effectiveness of using interactive elements in problem-based learning (PBL) for medical students. The simultaneous use of interactivity and a problem-solving approach makes it possible to improve the pedagogy of distance learning and improve the training of medical specialties. In the study, 120 medical students of 4-5 university courses were enrolled, who were divided into 3 groups, a control group and two experimental ones, who received intervention one in the form of PBL, the second - PBL and also interactive elements in blended learning. Participants in the groups were randomly selected but with an equal representation of men and women aged 21 to 23 years. The results were measured using the university 12-point system and the presence of statistically significant differences was established using the student’s t-test. It was found that in experimental groups, the results of the post-test of academic achievement were statistically significantly higher than the pre-test. At the same time, the best changes were recorded in the group with PLB and interactive training at the same time. There were no statistically significant differences between genders within each group or between groups; however, females performed slightly better on average than males. Practically, the results of the study can be used to improve the academic training of physicians during distance learning and to improve practical problem-solving skills. The current study can be used in further analysis of PBL of medical students subject to the global integration of digital technologies in educational systems.

Abstract

Online learning, including in higher education, is an active part of the modern educational landscape. Spherical video-based immersive virtual reality (SV-IVR) is useful in this field. This study aimed to determine the impact of teaching with the use of SV-IVR on the critical thinking and cognitive load of 140 students. The findings of the study revealed that students exhibited low levels of mental effort and mental load based on the observed indicators. Compared to the traditional teaching method, the SV-IVR model had a better effect on improving students' critical thinking skills. The findings can help teachers develop new learning models using video-based virtual reality.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of art therapy on the psycho-emotional state of educational psychologists. The issue at hand is the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and emotional burnout among future educational psychologists, which can negatively affect their professional performance. To address this problem, the application of art therapy was proposed as a tool to improve the emotional health of students. The experiment involved 107 students aged 20-22 from the Yelabuga Institute of Kazan Federal University. The assessment of emotional state was conducted using the Beck Depression Inventory, the Spielberger-Hanin Anxiety Scale, and the Schreiner, Rosenberg, and Boyko tests. The results indicated that after three months of art therapy, the average level of depression decreased by 15%, anxiety levels decreased by 20%, and emotional burnout was reduced by 15%. Additionally, students’ stress resistance increased by 20%. Thus, art therapy is an effective means for reducing the emotional burden on students. It is recommended to incorporate art therapy techniques into the curricula of universities, colleges, and secondary schools. Further research is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of art therapy among students of various specializations.
