Abstract

Pedagogical mastery is a key factor in improving the quality of medical education and enhancing the professional competence of future healthcare specialists. This study aimed to evaluate the role and importance of pedagogical mastery in the professional activity of medical teachers. A descriptive-analytical study was conducted involving 80 medical educators and 120 students. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews to assess teaching effectiveness, communication skills, and the use of modern educational technologies. The results demonstrated that teachers with a high level of pedagogical mastery were more effective in engaging students, delivering complex medical knowledge, and fostering critical thinking skills. A significant correlation was found between pedagogical competence and student satisfaction. Additionally, the use of interactive teaching methods and digital tools was associated with improved learning outcomes. Continuous professional development was identified as a major factor contributing to higher teaching performance. In conclusion, pedagogical mastery plays a vital role in medical education and requires continuous improvement through training and institutional support. The integration of innovative teaching methods and effective communication strategies is essential for preparing competent medical professionals.
