CREATIVE APPROACH TO TEACHING MICROBIOLOGY.

Abstract

This paper explores the methodology of teaching microbiology based on a creative approach that enhances students’ analytical, critical, and practical competencies. In the context of modern medical education, creative thinking is essential for developing future specialists capable of solving complex problems and generating innovative ideas. The study emphasizes the integration of problem-based learning, interactive methods, experiential activities, and digital technologies to increase the effectiveness of microbiology instruction. It highlights the stages of implementation, examples of creative techniques such as role-play, brainstorming, and virtual laboratories, and demonstrates their positive impact on student motivation, performance, and innovation capacity. The findings indicate that a creative approach significantly contributes to the formation of professional competencies and aligns with global trends in digital and interactive education.
