PREDICTIVE VALUE OF PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING IN CONTEXT OF CREATING ADAPTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR HIGHER MEDICAL EDUCATION
The article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying prognostic factors that can predict the long-term success of medical students in higher education. Particular attention is paid to improving methods for selecting applicants and developing supportive activities aimed at increasing students' chances of successfully completing their studies. A cohort study was conducted of 654 students of the specialty “General Medicine” of the Karaganda Medical University, who were admitted to the university in 2019-2021. Upon admission, applicants underwent psychometric testing assessing personality traits, stress, learning strategies and achievement goals. Progressive testing was conducted in 2021 and 2022 to identify the relationship between students' initial characteristics and learning outcomes. A relationship was identified between the level of development of soft skills and academic performance during the first three years of study. Interestingly, we also found the differences in adaptation of students with different psychological characteristics to the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the data obtained, recommendations are proposed for creating an adaptive higher education environment that considers the personal characteristics of students and their initial level of development of soft skills. The article provides valuable practical recommendations for educational institutions seeking to optimize student selection and support processes, as well as create a learning environment that promotes successful learning and student development in medical education.
