Abstract.
The aim of this article was to analyze the possibilities of improving the quality of medical education by means of using game teaching methods. The article discusses the nature and causes of the crisis phenomena in higher medical schools observed during the recent decades. A comparative assessment of the proposed ways to improve the quality of medical education is given. The analysis of the existing trends in the field of increasing the efficiency of the educational process has shown that game methods of teaching, which lack excessive formalization and fully contribute to the disclosure of the creative potential of a student, can become a promising solution to this problem. Educational games simulate real clinical situations that are unattainable in the course of the educational process. The educational game provides a variety of possible decisions that have to be made in high degree of uncertainty situations. A game technique of knowledge control in the clinical anatomy of ear, nose and throat has been proposed and tested. The methodology of a game for two teams within the frames of a given game scenario with a simple and sound method of result assessment has been developed.
Key words: game teaching methods, pedagogy of higher education, interactive learning, quality of education, play activities.
