Innovative methods in the training of veterinarians

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the process of integration of the method of case study with the elements of business games in the educational process of an agrarian university. By means of participant and non-participant observation in experimental student groups, the authors prove that the sophisticated innovative case study technology used in the classroom in the form of independent work combined with a business game creates conditions for the development of professional clinical thinking in students, as well as for the improvement of their creative and research abilities. It is found that the development of applied cases for independent work with their further use in business games during practical classes contributes to deeper assimilation of the learning material and provides for the development of both universal and professional competencies.
