Abstract

Modern science is constantly enriched with new facts. In this regard, the teacher must have constantly updated scientific information both in the field of taught and related disciplines. It is not easy now for teachers of morphological disciplines to increase one’s own professional level. There are a number of factors that impede successful professional development. The lack of training in educational programs of sections, devoted to methodological foundations of studying the discipline with development of a variety of research methods, both traditional and modern. As a rule, the content of such courses is reduced to organizational and methodological aspects of educational process, scientific and practical parts are often absent. Representatives of domestic morphological schools, unfortunately, can not be fully competitive with their foreign colleagues in the absence of possibility of mastering and applying modern methods of morphological research in their scientific and pedagogical activity. Another problem is limited access to modern scientific information. Foreign periodicals and monographs still remain inaccessible, which significantly complicates the process of self-education. Many domestic periodicals mean paid access to content. Only a few journals remained not commercialized and available to a wide range of readers. Thus, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures: to expand educational bases for improvement of professional skill; to create such bases at the advanced scientific schools; to develop legal aspects of the use of cadaveric material for scientific and educational purposes; form a single information space for teachers and scientists with free access, at least to domestic scientific periodicals.
