USE OF BLENDED LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TRAINING OF PUBLIC HEALTH SPECIALISTS
SUMMARY:
The article examines the main conditions for the use of blended learning technologies in the training of public health specialists. Blended learning, which combines traditional teaching methods with digital technologies, is becoming increasingly popular in modern education. The advantages and challenges of the implementation of blended learning in the context of training public health specialists are analyzed. Among the main advantages are the flexibility of the educational process, the possibility of personalization of education, as well as increasing the motivation and involvement of students. Special attention is paid to the development of interactive educational materials and the use of modern information technologies to support the educational process. The article also discusses the challenges and difficulties that teachers and students may face when implementing blended learning. In particular, issues of technical support, the need to train teachers to use new technologies are considered. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the integration of traditional teaching methods with modern digital technologies in the educational process of future public health specialists. The following research methods were used: analysis of scientific, psychological-pedagogical, educational-methodical and special literature, information sources on the research problem; synthesis and generalization of theoretical provisions revealed in scientific and educational literature; summarizing one’s own pedagogical experience of training future public health specialists to carry out professional activities, as well as the practical experience of teachers. Blended learning, as shown in the article, promotes a more flexible and individualized approach to learning, providing students with the necessary knowledge and practical skills. The challenges and prospects of introducing such technologies into the education system are also considered. A detailed analysis shows that the use of blended learning contributes to the increase of students’ motivation, the development of their independent skills and the ability to think critically. Thus, blended learning technologies are an effective tool for training highly qualified specialists in the field of public health. Future research prospects in this area include studying the impact of different technologies on learning outcomes, developing new methodologies and approaches to increase the effectiveness of blended learning, and exploring best practices for implementing blended learning in different educational and cultural contexts. An important area of research is also the analysis of the economic efficiency of blended learning and its impact on the availability and quality of education in the field of public health.
