The modernization and the making the teaching process of analytical disciplines in the study programme of pharmacy more attractive

The Analytical chemistry is an obligatory two-semester discipline that is taught both in the winter and in the summer semester of the second year of the study programme of pharmacy. Due to the lack of adequate study literature in the Slovak language for the students of pharmacy, the goal of the proposed project is to compile a modern university textbook suitable not only for the study purposes of the pharmacy, but also for the study of chemistry-oriented study programmes. A significant proportion will be devoted to instrumental methods which will equally incorporate the schemes capturing and reflecting the essence of different methods in order to support students' logical thinking. The discipline called the Analysis of drugs, taught in the winter semester of the fourth year of the study programme of pharmacy, has an irreplaceable place in the study programme. The project aims to develop a study material suitable for teaching of practical classes of the Analysis of drugs and to introduce the modernization of learning process by means of involving the computer technology and the modern instrumental equipment. At present, in the process of teaching, more and more attention is devoted to an interactive and visually engaging content that will enable students to actively participate in learning, thereby increasing their attention, perception, and the very interest in the subject-matter being discussed. One of appropriate means to achieve a more modern and more attractive teaching process with the direct cooperation between students and their teacher is represented by the interactive whiteboard. An active use of this board in the teaching process shifts the process from pure teaching to learning by experiential method, which ultimately results in greater involvement and interest of students.
