Application of a questionnaire of students to improve the quality of the human anatomy offer at the faculty of dental studies

Abstract

The goal. Questionnaire is the basis for a sociological survey that allows you to analyse the quality and interface of training. The article reflects the issues of effectiveness of the educational program and teaching technologies, the quality of teachers’ connections with students in the context of pedagogical and managerial measurements, to assess individual disciplines and encourage teachers to improve themselves.
Materials and methods. The Department of Descriptive and Clinical Anatomy conducted a survey of students of dental faculties to obtain accurate data on the quality of the educational process and satisfaction of applicants for education. The study also suggested assessing the views of future professionals and improving the effectiveness of information consolidation principles. In total, 50 first-year students in 2020/2021 and 50 students in 2021/2022 took part in the cross-sectional study with the help of a virtual survey. The actual questionnaire was created using Google forms. It was divided into two parts, firstly, by the importance of anatomy sections in dental education, and secondly, by the frequency of certain problems in the teaching of anatomy. In this study, students suggested more emphasising the anatomy of the head and neck and, directly, the oral cavity, but do not devalue the importance of the nervous and vascular system, planchnology. The percentage of satisfaction with the quality of higher education in most cases was 80–95 %.
Conclusion. Thus, research was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire to understand the pros and cons of training applicants for medical education. Since medical institutions in Ukraine are responsible for ensuring that students meet international standards, NMU named after O.A. Bogomolets is trying to provide education by all possible means. The use of body layouts, stimulation devices based on virtual/augmented reality together with improved methodological recommendations allow you to get acquainted with the structure and structure of the human body. The official LIKAR_NMU platform is supplemented with test controls on different topics each time so that students can prepare for different tests and be confident in knowledge. The department aims to improve  the methods of presenting information, strengthen the “teacher-student” connections in order to direct students to in depth study of disciplines and timely correction of shortcomings.
