SEMESTER PROJECTS IN MEDICAL BIOPHYSICS PROMOTE ACTIVE LEARNING

Project learning is dynamic pedagogic approach in which students study scientific problems individually and simultaneously acquire and develop cross-curriculum skills and competences while elaborating projects. A specific model of project learning is applied at the Comenius University Faculty of Medicine in Bratislava. Semester projects in medical biophysics processed by 1 year students of General Medicine and Dentistry represent a compulsory form of teaching. Content analysis of them reflected widespread using of modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on physical/biophysical principles in medical practice today.
