Abstract:
As Mircea Eliade used to say, "The lack of certain
specialists is not so gravely for a culture. Instead,
more or less confessed panic concerning things that
stand out of the preoccupations imposed by a didactic
culture or an irresponsible dilettantism is much
worrying ".
Human civilization developed around the idea of better
conditions, of the creation of increasingly better
physical and spiritual existence of each individual.
History cognition and its significance are not only an
element of human development, but also an effective way
to use collective experience for the development of the
society as a whole.
Studying the history of medicine and medical equipment
development, although it can hardly be accepted by some
experts too much concerned about the present, but not
willing to know and understand the past that allows them
to be today what they are, is not only a remembrance of
certain events, but is undoubtedly a desire to
understand, to know, that is to be HUMAN.
The evolution of medicine and medical equipment
development can not be understood without knowing the
overall development of didactical and pedagogical
concepts, but especially without applying new, and
modern methods of education technology.
Using of electronic books, digitization of
iatros-historical documents and increasing the
accessibility of specialists and students to
iatros-historical documents, using of learning by
discovery through the use of documents are only some
methods for increasing the attractiveness of this
discipline, and also modern methods of education.
The development of specialized sites and the emergence
of projects in the frame of which applied papers, images
or even documents become available, has facilitated
students' accessibility to primary information and
transformed the teaching of a discipline in a dynamic,
interactive process.
“Educational technology is the study and ethical
practice of facilitating learning and improving
performance by creating, using and managing appropriate
technological processes and resources” as Richey, R.C.
has mentioned.
In this context the study of the history of medicine and
even of the medical equipment evolution not only
perpetuates the nation's collective memory, but also
restores the right significance of a part of the history
that was neglected.
History makes us understand what Vasile Parvan used to
say: "By rendering living, intelligible, communicable
and rational form to human life developments in its
whole aspects and thoughts, historical attitude turns
the history into self-awareness of Humanity."
