Description

The invention relates to the field of medicine, in particular to games that contribute to the development of clinical thinking in neurology, associative memory, intelligence, stimulate scientific interest and expand horizons.

To achieve all levels of medical knowledge, medical professionals must rely on new educational and diagnostic technologies. In this regard, some authors propose to purposefully implement the following strategies: optimization of didactic efforts to solve problems of diagnosis and treatment of diseases; developing self-learning using optimal learning systems; providing users with the transfer of integrated multimedia information; optimal application of clinical, didactic and technical methods and means of education; continuous monitoring of learning outcomes. It becomes obvious that there is a need to organize a targeted educational and cognitive process, which not only instills knowledge and skills, but also takes into account the individual creative potential (opportunities) of each medical student and the individual style of his professional activity. Modern information technologies play an important role in optimizing this process, including the game form of presenting complex material, which also forms clinical (creative) thinking, focusing on creating conditions for the free development of each personality of a medical student.

Today, there are educational mobile games for doctors on android and ios. This collection contains the following games: Bio Inc - Biomedical Plague (Biomedical Plague); Operate Now: Hospital - virtual surgery; 4 pictures 1 diagnosis - a game for a medical student; Surgeon Simulator is a fun operation simulator; Find the word: medicine - in Russian; The human body. Quiz Anatomy and Medicine - free for ios; 1 picture 1 diagnosis - a game for a medical student; Plague Inc - epidemic simulator; League of Physicians is a mobile game; Guess the diagnosis - a game for the doctor (10 games for doctors in Russian. Found 02.03.2019 on the Internet at: https://medical-club.net/10-igr-dlya-vrachej-na-russkom-yazyke/). However, these games are not used for teaching discipline - neurology and are not designed for obtaining great clinical and therapeutic information.

Known game Blitzopoly based on "Monopoly". It was developed as part of an infection prevention training for staff at the Department of Infectious Services of the Medical University of New York. This game consists of a playing field, cubes and chips. Players roll the dice and move the chips around the field. There are three research topics and answer cards. Participants choose a suitable one for a particular case, discuss options and come to a common decision (Education in medicine: playing neurosurgeon. Published 02/06/2018, found 03/02/2019 on the Internet at: http://blog.center-game.com/edyutejrrnient -v-meditsine.html). The disadvantages of this board game is that, in terms of its parameters, it is intended only for training on the prevention of infections; It has playing cubes and chips, which deprives the gaming system of variation. This source of information is considered as the closest analogue.

The technical result is to create a board game "Neuropoly" that provides equally probable conditions for all players, regardless of the sequence of their progress in training in the neurology study program by using new game ideas and game rules, having an active gaming zone in the form of an image of the brain from game cells of various game purposes and four game figures, developed on the basis of real prototypes.

This technical result is achieved by creating an educational board game containing a playing field and dice, while it contains four game figures made of Plexiglas in the form of doctors and two hexagonal and tetrahedral cubes with a different game purpose, and the game field has a rectangle shape with the placement of the active gaming area in it in the form of an image of the brain with cells from 1 to 28, made in the form of neurons placed on the game track, having the form of connected synapso c, processes of neurons with interceptions of Ranvier, in ascending order, two of which the lower and upper are the “start” and “finish”, and the remaining cells are highlighted in three different colors, identical in color to the three cells located in the lower inactive gaming zone and intended for cards with questions on the program of studying neurology.

The invention "Educational board game" Neuropoly "is illustrated by drawings.

Figure 1 - a general view of the playing field of the educational board game "Neuropoly", according to the invention;

FIG. 2 - hexagonal and tetrahedral cubes designed to select the category of the question in neurology and determine the degree of complexity of the issue;

FIG. 3 - a general view of four game figures, made of plexiglass in various forms of doctors.

The declared “Educational board game“ Neuropoly ”contains (see FIG. 1) the playing field (1), made in the form of a rectangle, on which there is an active play area, made in the form of an image of the brain (2) with cells (3) of size 1 , 5-2 cm, made in the form of neurons: pseudo-unipolar neuron, astrocyte, giant Bets neuronal cell from 1 to 28, two of which are lower and upper, are the "start" and "finish". The cells (3) of the playing area are made on the game track in ascending order and have different colors (green, blue). Moreover, the game track has the form of interconnected synapses (9), processes of neurons with interceptions of Ranvier (8). Also on the playing field (1) there are cubes of hex (4) and tetrahedral (5) shapes with different gaming purposes (see Fig. 2a, b): a die (5), on which there are 4 faces, and on the faces there are four figures, to select the category of question on neurology, to be answered: figure 1 - anatomy and physiology, figure 2 - topical diagnosis, figure 3 - diagnosis and treatment, figure 4 - clinical picture, cube (4) with six faces, 2 faces of which have green color, 2 faces - blue color and 2 faces - purple color, determines the degree of complexity of the question, on Example: • the brink of green (the most simple questions); •• blue face (medium degree of difficulty); ••• face of purple color (the most difficult questions). In addition, there are four game figures (6) on the playing field, made of Plexiglas in various forms of doctors (see Fig. 3), intended for passing the playing path along the ascending path of the cells (3). In the lower inactive gaming zone there are three cells (7) for cards with questions on the neurology program. The colors of the cells (3) of the playing area and the colors of the hexagonal cube faces (4) are identical to the colors of the three cells (7) of the inactive playing area. Cells (7) are intended for stacks of cards with questions on the program of studying neurology and are the same size as game cards, the size of which is (11 × 7.5 cm). Questions on the neurology study program also have three degrees of difficulty (light, medium degree of difficulty, high degree of complexity, similar to the degree of difficulty of the colors of the hexagon cube (4).

The game provides equally probable conditions for all players, regardless of the sequence of their turn, and each of the players has the opportunity to constantly take an active part in the game, which has an unlimited number of test questions in each of the four categories of the neurology study program, and it also contributes to the development of creative thinking, gaming intuition.

The training board game “Neuropoly” is an informal method of studying the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, topical diagnosis in neurology, diagnosis and treatment of nervous diseases and the clinical picture of nervous diseases, due to cross-answers to test questions of varying difficulty in a playful way.

Educational board game "Neuropoly" works as follows.

So, in front of players, game figures (6), in the form of doctors, the magic world of the brain (2) of a person. Who is the first player-game figures (6), travelers in the inner universe can go to a distant and so close world of the brain (2) of a person and find out how things really work?

You are famous scientists who set as a goal to find out today who of the players-game figures (6) are closest to the solution of the mysteries of the brain (2) of a person. The goal of the game is to make learning exciting, developing clinical thinking in neurology, associative memory and intelligence.

Preparing for the game.

Players lay out the playing field (1) in such a way that it is convenient for all players to pass the game path through the cells (3) placed on the ascending game track, having the form of interconnected synapses (9), processes of neurons with interceptions of Ranvier (8) .

In the inactive zone on the playing field (1) in three piles, lay out and shuffle the cards with questions on the program of studying the neurology of green, blue and purple. Then they take out the hexagonal (4) and tetrahedral (5) shape cubes, and the game figures (6) are placed on the lower “start” cell.

Rules of the game.

Thus, in front of the players-game figures (6) there is a playing field (1) with 28 cells (3) for the game move game figures (6), according to the image of the brain (2). Each player rolls two dice in a hex (4) and tetrahedral (5) form, and thus chooses the difficulty and category of the question to which he should answer. Moreover, the definition of the first player-game figure (6), who starts the game, is carried out by throwing in turn a four-sided dice (5) with four numbers. The one with the smaller number walks first.

After the sequence of moves has been determined, the first player rolls two hexagonal dice (4), which determines the degree of difficulty of the issue: green (the simplest questions); blue (medium degree of difficulty); purple (the most difficult questions) and a four-sided cube (5) with numbers 1-4. The player sitting to the left of the first player takes a card corresponding to the difficulty of the dropped out color and the category number of the question and reads the question from this category.

If there is a question from a green card, the player advances the game figure (6) one move of the cell (3) after the correct answer to any of the questions in the drop-down category, if a question comes up from the blue card, the player advances the game figure (6) immediately to two moves of cells (3), after the correct answer to any of the questions of the category, if the question came up with a purple card, the player advances the game piece (6) after the correct answer to any of the questions, of the category immediately by three moves of the cells (3 ). The more complex the question, the faster the game figure (6) of the player reaches the finish line, which will become the most intelligent professor among his colleagues.

Example: a player has a blue side on a colored hexagon dice (4), on a four-sided dice (5) - figure 4, the player sitting to the left of the current player takes a card from the stack of blue and reads out the category question number 4 (i.e. category "clinical picture"). With the correct answer, the player advances the game figure (6) by two moves of the cells (3) at once in the upward playing track of the image of the brain (2).

In addition, if a player, during the course of a game track, hits a gaming figure (6) on any of the cells with numbers 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 22 or 25, then he can choose the category of the question and the degree of difficulty to any of his rivals players. That is, when the turn comes to throw a four-sided (5) and six-sided (4) dice to the opponent, he will have to immediately answer the question chosen by the player. If the answer is correct, it goes on the appropriate number of turns of cells (3).

Then the turn goes to the next player, he also rolls two dice, and to his left, the seated player takes the corresponding color card and reads out the question of the category that fell on the four-sided dice (5). Wins the one who first reaches the finish line.

The method of answers to the cards is a reflection of the well-known phenomenon of mnemonic memory, which allows in a short time (several game sessions) to master the most complex issues of the program on the study of neuroscience.

Thus, despite the fact that the lecture and the game work equally well in terms of education, however, the students found the game more stimulating and interactive. In contrast to the passive lecture, the game involves active participation. This is the goal of gamification - to make learning fun. The stated educational board game "Neuropoly" has the property of gamification, since it uses game rules to achieve real goals in the study of neuroscience. Due to this game, the tasks become interesting, and the difficult - simple, while the players have equally probable conditions, regardless of the sequence of their progress in training in the program of studying neurology through the use of the active gaming zone in the form of an image of the brain, consisting of game cells of various game purposes in the form of neurons arranged on a game track, having the form of synapses connected among themselves, processes of neurons with interceptions of Ranvier and four game figures developed on the basis of real scratch.
