PEDAGOGICAL MECHANISMS FOR DEVELOPING PRACTICAL SKILLS IN CLINICAL DISCIPLINES THROUGH THE USE OF DIGITAL LEARNING PLATFORMS

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technologies into medical education has transformed the methods of teaching clinical disciplines. This study investigates pedagogical mechanisms that enhance the development of practical skills among medical students using digital learning platforms. Methods included systematic analysis, modeling, and comparative pedagogical evaluation of digital tools such as virtual simulations, interactive case studies, and learning management systems. Findings demonstrate that structured digital learning environments, combined with stepwise skill acquisition and feedback mechanisms, significantly improve students’ clinical competencies, critical thinking, and decision-making abilities. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating digital platforms into competency-based education to prepare future healthcare professionals effectively.
