Evaluation of personal features of students and methods of stimulation and motivation of educational activities

Aim: to analyze the distribution of first-year students by the levels of their self-esteem and the preferred form of work in the team, which are best implemented when various forms and methods of training are introduced into the educational process, which allow them to understand the significance of basic biological knowledge for the future practical work of a doctor on the chosen specialty. Material and Methods. During the course of the work, the data of a sample survey among first-year students were used. Results. The relative distribution of groups of students according to individual characteristics that determine their style of work in the team and the level of self-esteem - in relation to oneself, is clarified. Most of the students surveyed by us (95.8%) have high and medium levels of self-esteem, which, according to the style of work in the team, correspond to the leading and collaborating types, and to respondents with low self-esteem (4.2%) - the slave. The role of introducing various teaching methods for the successful adaptation of freshmen to the educational process at the university is analyzed. Conclusion. During the first year of study, the level of self-esteem largely determines the successful work in a team and the adaptation of students to the workload. Positive motivation in training, implying the practical significance of the material studied, taking into account future medical specialization, stimulates the cognitive activity of students and helps to increase their level of self-esteem.
