APPV LORICCOM (APVV-15-0719) Longitudinal research on psychosocial innovations in chronic disease management, 2016-2020. In the time of financial crisis, an ageing population and a growing burden of chronic disease healthcare systems are under great pressure. The population of individuals with one or more chronic illnesses is large and growing rapidly, and the ability of the fragmented health systems to meet the complex needs of these patients is limited. As such, there is a serious need for a thoughtful, multi-stakeholder, holistic approach to the practical implementation of integrated care systems based on patient-centred, coordinated and continuous care models. The main aim of this multidisciplinary research project is to gain knowledge in the field of effective chronic disease management and options for improvements in patients’ quality of life. The project is envisaged to: effectively support people to maximise their self-care and self-management capabilities; improve adherence to treatment regimen and reduce healthcare demand; raise awareness about integrated care and chronic condition management; develop and promote a suite of products and psychosocial innovation tools designed to respond to the chronic disease challenge; and to identify and test culturally appropriate self-management programmes. This knowledge will facilitate evidence-based decision-making concerning innovative models of healthcare delivery.

VVGS-2021-1862: Development of critical thinking in teaching process via electronic mind map. Nowadays the orientation of school education to the amount of memorized information still dominates. Higher cognitive processes as part of critical thinking are not firmly developed or accurately appreciated. The curricular reform in the Slovak Republic has officially created space for the development of one of the most required qualities of the future, namely the development of critical thinking. This creates an opportunity for students and teachers to receive and evaluate knowledge, clarify concepts and ideas, look for different perspectives and alternative approaches to problem solving. The concept of critical thinking in academia is not new, but there are no strategies and activities aimed at developing critical thinking among students (Derňárová, 2018, Duchovičová, 2017, Turek, 2003). A suitable teaching strategy is a mind map that develops and improves cognitive functions, supports critical thinking, facilitates the transition from theory to practice, and ultimately strengthens students' self-confidence. The benefit and importance of creating an electronic mind map as a method of teaching subjects in e-learning education is determined by evaluating a comprehensive overview of students' knowledge with the creation of their own critical judgment. Online active interaction between teacher and student visualizes the content of the curriculum and identifies gaps in students' knowledge. The aim of the project is to develop and support critical thinking among students in the educational process by co-creating the complex content of the curriculum through an electronic mind map in selected subjects. Key words in English: electronic mind maps, critical thinking, e-learning, students.
