Learning outcomes
Objectives and competencies: The student will acquire knowledge in the field of didactics of somatology in connection with previous knowledge of general didactics and professional knowledge of the subject. The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with modern didactics applied in the professional subject of somatology in health fields of secondary vocational education. Active teaching of the subject of somatology will enable students to be motivated to understand and master the curriculum. After completing the course, students should be able to: - understand the concept of the content of the RVP and SVP for study fields of secondary vocational education in the context of teaching somatology; - analyze the Framework Educational Program for Secondary Vocational Education in the context of teaching somatology; - work with basic pedagogical documents; - identify the curriculum of the educational field of somatology at secondary vocational schools; - set goals and create learning tasks to develop students' abilities; - describe inter-subject relationships in teaching somatology; - demonstrate knowledge of the structure and functions of the human body; - understand the function of individual anatomical structures, physiological processes and deduce their mutual connections and dependencies; - design the content of Somatology teaching according to the level of students and the requirements of the school; - apply teaching methods, didactic principles and organizational forms in teaching Somatology; - make maximum use of didactic resources for the effectiveness of the teaching process and motivation of students in the subject Somatology; - master the content and didactic analysis of Somatology textbooks used in teaching; - design practical exercises suitable for teaching Somatology; - use models and images, or practical examples for teaching Somatology; - apply the acquired general didactic knowledge to the selected Somatology curriculum in a model teaching unit with preparation for the lesson; - present the prepared teaching materials in a high-quality didactic manner in all aspects. Main topics of the subject by individual weeks of teaching: 1. Basic properties of living matter. Growth and development of the body. 2. Connective tissues: ligament, cartilage and bone. Connection of bones. 3. Types of muscle tissue. Orientation in the main muscle groups in the human body. Physiology of the muscular system. 4. Anatomy of the heart and blood vessels, heart function. Hemodynamics. 5. Anatomy and function of blood - plasma and formed blood elements. Lymphatic system. 6. Anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. 7. Anatomical structure and function of individual sections of the digestive tract, liver and pancreas. 8. Anatomical structure and function of the kidneys and genitals. 4. Anatomy and function of glands with internal secretion. 9. Basic anatomical structure of the nervous system, central and peripheral nervous system. Physiology of the nervous system. 10. Five basic senses, principle of transmission of sensory information. After completing the course, students should be able to: - understand the concept of the content of the RVP and SVP for study fields of secondary vocational education in the context of teaching somatology; - analyze the Framework Educational Program for Secondary Vocational Education in the context of teaching somatology; - work with basic pedagogical documents; - identify the curriculum of the educational field of somatology at secondary vocational schools; - set goals and create learning tasks to develop students' abilities; - describe inter-subject relationships in teaching somatology; - demonstrate knowledge of the structure and functions of the human body; - understand the function of individual anatomical structures, physiological processes and deduce their mutual connections and dependencies; - design the content of Somatology teaching according to the level of students and the requirements of the school; - apply teaching methods, didactic principles and organizational forms in teaching Somatology; - make maximum use of didactic resources for the effectiveness of the teaching process and motivation of students in the subject Somatology; - master the content and didactic analysis of Somatology textbooks used in teaching; - design practical exercises suitable for teaching Somatology; - use models and images, or practical examples for teaching Somatology; - apply the acquired general didactic knowledge to the selected Somatology curriculum in a model teaching unit with preparation for the lesson; - present the prepared teaching materials in a high-quality didactic manner in all aspects.
Prerequisites
Principles and foundations of general and school didactics; somatology within the scope of bachelor's studies.
Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Dialog, Analyssis of the Student's Portfolio, Written exam Each student will prepare a detailed methodological package for 1 teaching unit on a given topic (organ system or part thereof) and prepare one relevant model lesson in PowerPoint presentation format, present it and submit it at least a week before the credit is awarded. Checking and evaluating individual work by the teacher is a prerequisite for obtaining credit. The preparation must include: name of the school, subject, field, grade, additional information (date, time, time allowance), thematic unit, teaching topic, teaching content, evaluation key, educational and training objectives, didactic methods, aids, teaching plan, literature for teachers and students, homework / tasks, evaluation of the teaching. Another mandatory part of the methodological package is a list of used literature, necessary for its processing. 2 absences allowed per semester, active participation in classes required. Main thematic units in teaching: Basic properties of living matter; Functional morphology of tissues; Basic orientation on the human body; Locomotor system and body growth; Blood; Defense mechanisms of the organism; Blood circulation; Respiratory system; Digestive system; Excretory system; Control of the organism's activity - humoral control; Sensory system; Skin system; Reproductive system; Nervous system. Credit will be awarded based on the completed tasks listed above. The exam will have 2 parts: written (in the form of a didactic test) and oral (defense of the methodological package and correct answers to the teacher's questions within the scope of the entire course). Requirements for students with an individual study plan: full-time education in the scope of at least 30%, alternatively joint education with combined study - see the subject KAZ/KNDS@, see above (identical requirements for credit and for the exam).
