Development of the Electronic System for Monitoring Students' Progress in Higher Medical Education Institutions

Abstract

During the training of future medical specialists in higher education institutions, in particular at National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, there are problems with free access to the system of fixing the results of their training. The problem is exacerbated by the peculiarities of the organization of the educational process at the medical school, when most of the training sessions are conducted by practicing practitioners in medical institutions, which complicates the process of transferring information about students' progress to the dean's office. Therefore, parents, as customers of educational services for their children, often learn about the negative results of their training even after the signing of the assignment order, when it is impossible to change anything. This problem is especially acute for junior students. At the same time, there are conflicting situations between the dean and his deputies on the one hand and parents and students on the other. This situation requires the development of an electronic system for monitoring progress with free access to it by students and officials, taking into account current legislation on the confidentiality of personal information.

To build any system, it is necessary to clearly define its class, formulate the purpose and impose certain limitations on the functioning. The purpose of creating an electronic journal is self-monitoring by the student on their own progress in the current disciplines that they study, as well as the monitoring of the success of officials by subordination and functional responsibilities. The peculiarities of the construction of the educational process are analyzed and the main requirements for the construction of an electronic system for monitoring students' progress with the consideration of the current legislation regarding the confidentiality of personal information are formulated, in accordance with the peculiarities of the organization of the educational process at National Pirogov Memorial Medical University and requirements of the system approach. An electronic system for monitoring students' progress with access to it for students and officials with a clear definition of rights in accordance with the requirements of the hierarchy of the system has been developed. The experience of using the electronic monitoring system for success indicates that the student can evaluate his own success in the disciplines he is studying and adjust his efforts to improve the situation if necessary. In addition, there are no preconditions for controversial and conflict situations, which contributes to creating an atmosphere of trust in a higher medical education institution.
