The efficacy of the competence-oriented model of the legal competence formation
of future physicians in the process of studying Medical Law has firstly been theoretically
substantiated, elaborated, tested and experimentally verified. Its implementation method
has been disclosed as well. Substantive components of the legal competence of future
doctors in Medical Law have been outlined and proved: motivationally-valuable
(significance awareness of chosen career, emotionally-valuable attitude of a future
physician towards legal standards, facts, phenomena); gnostic (it reflects the system of the
legal competence, entity understanding of the legal competence in Medical Law, its
mechanisms’ diligence; readiness to self-development, self-education); efficient (it
represents willingness to active actions guided by the knowledge of the law and skills in
accordance with the law: to enforce the rights, to claim the rights in case of their violation,
to fulfil the responsibilities). According to the substantial pattern of the legal competence
of future doctors in Medical Law, definite criteria have been determined (motivational,
cognitive, operation); indicators of these criteria are the characteristic basis of three levels
of the legal competence formation of future doctors in Medical Law: low, middle and
high.
The implementation method of the legal competence model formation of future
physicians in the process of Medical Law studying has been described. Using the method
of the legal competence formation, we mean a structured entity of actions, operations and
procedures that provide the achievement of the predicted and diagnostic result
instrumentally within an educational process that is undergoing modifications. The
implementation of the objective and technique’s assignments of the legal competence
formation of future doctors in the process of studying Medical Law has been realized
gradually. Three steps have been emphasized: objectively-motivational, procedural-active
and controlling-evaluative. Correspondingly, each step has been identified to have its goal,
content, methods, modes and means of the legal competence formation of future
physicians during Medical law studying.
Modes and methods of educational process organization in higher medical education
establishments and training provision of the legal competence formation of future doctors
in the process of studying Medical Law have been improved. A comprehensive analysis of
scientific-methodological sources as well as legislative papers regarding the up-to-date
view related to the legal competence of doctors has been conducted. Disciplines’ potential
of Medical Law in formation of the legal competence of future physicians has been
justified.
Experimental checkup of technique’s performance of the legal competence
formation of future doctors in the process of Medical Law studying and the obtained
results relevance has been accomplished. It has been done due to the following methods of
investigation: structural-component method of relative frequencies; expert evaluation
method; questionnaire mode; methods of statistical processing of experiment’s findings
applying Student’s t-criteria, Kolmogorov-Smirnov’s -criterion, Fisher’s *-angular
conversion.
