Research of the Factors Influencing the Academic Performance of Students of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of KRSU

For future medical professionals, the main task is to provide proper medical care, but in order to do everything efficiently, good knowledge is needed. Unfortunately, in recent years, the problem of improving the quality of the training of medical specialists has been escalating in Kyrgyzstan. The training of medical students in such a field as chemistry is one of the integral and important parts of medical education, since all life processes are related to chemical processes, it can cause damage to humanity (mainly ecology) and salvation (development of medicines for diseases, cultivation of artificial organs, etc.). The purpose of our research is to study the organization of the educational process, the relationship between teachers and students, as well as to determine the reasons for the decrease in the level of understanding of this subject among students, and their opinion on improving the quality of education at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of KRSU. We conducted a survey of 285 students of the Medical Faculty of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N. Yeltsin (KRSU), using an original questionnaire that includes 18 questions on the organization of the educational process and the relationship between teachers and students at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. We have obtained the following results: at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, more than half of the respondents like the conditions and the educational process, almost 90% of the students positively assessed the work of the teaching staff. And for a better understanding of chemistry (biological, clinical), we recommended the following: add more practice; conduct classes in a playful way (in the form of quizzes, Olympiads, round tables, conferences, etc.); review the curriculum; create a circle or introduce additional classes; teachers to explain topics more in practical classes.; add lecture material to the Internet (in particular YouTube) for repeated listening/viewing.
