Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the experience of teaching human physiology in the context of organizing the educational process in a remote (online) format during the pandemic of a new coronavirus disease COVID-19 in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The choice of the Discord application as an online communication platform between students and a teacher is substantiated, the advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The classification of the means of remote imitation of a physiological experiment for pedagogical purposes is considered. Among them are educational videos shot at professional studios of scientific cinematography and made with the participation of employees of the Department of Human Physiology of St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University, online laboratories, the use of calculation and analytical tasks, practical work performed with the participation of a student and a teacher as a test subject. The issues of the effectiveness of monitoring the knowledge gained by students after an online training session are discussed. The adequacy of the «open book» exam methodology is analyzed in order to combat the dishonest behavior of students. The results of a comparison of the uniformity of the distribution of the grades obtained as a result of the exam in human physiology in the summer session of 2016-2017, 2019-2020 in comparison to 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years for students of pediatric and foreign faculties are presented. The prospects for the use of electronic educational technologies in the educational process at a medical university in the study of biomedical disciplines are discussed.
