Objectives To train postgraduate medical students the ability of effectively using network resources and independently studying, and to explore new model of clinical liver cancer teaching. Methods The teaching model of problembased learning (PBL) to clinical liver cancer teaching was applied. Results The teaching model of PBL changed graduate student the status of passive acceptance to active participation. The teaching process was full of livingness, and the teaching quality was improved.Conclusion The teaching model of PBL can break through the limitations of passive acceptance of book knowledge in traditional teaching model and improve the ability to handle the comprehensive clinical knowledge of liver cancer, which provides a new model to the teaching of liver cancer to graduate medical students in clinic.
Objective To explore the teaching ability of the neurology refresher doctors by case teaching method combined with flipped classroom teaching mode. Methods The refresher doctors who were studying in the infection group of Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University between March 2019 and September 2020 were selected. According to the time of admission, the enrolled refresher doctors were divided into control group (grade 2019) and observation group (grade 2020). The control group adopted the traditional teaching mode, and the observation group adopted the case teaching method combined with the flipped classroom teaching mode. A self-designed questionnaire was used to compare the teaching ability of the two groups of refresher doctors. Results A total of 44 refresher doctors were included. Among them, there were 24 refresher doctors in the control group and 20 refresher doctors in the observation group. The self-evaluation of the teaching ability of the two groups of refresher doctors and the evaluation of their teaching ability by the teachers showed that, except for the item “enthusiasm for teaching and willingness to spend enough time to participate in the evaluation of teaching work” of humanistic quality (P>0.05), the observation group was better than the control group in professional knowledge, teaching ability, teaching methods and humanistic quality (P<0.05). Conclusions Through the case teaching method combined with flipped classroom teaching mode, the teaching ability of refresher doctors can be cultivated, which is helpful for training more high-quality doctors for the country and promoting the sustainable and coordinated development of medical education. However, the awareness and enthusiasm of the refresher doctors to teaching work need to be improved.
Objective To explore the application and effects of Seminar case teaching method in teaching surgical nursing. Methods Nursing students of the Yiyang Junior Medical College were divided into two groups (140 students/group). Seminar case teaching was applied in the trial group, while traditional teaching method (classroom teaching or instruction) was applied in the control group. The two groups used the same materials, and were taught by the same teacher team during the same course. After the courses, surgical knowledge and skills were evaluated using theory exams and operation tests (tools included communication ability scale as well as the California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory Scale for students’ ability and quality levels, and an anonymous questionnaire for teaching satisfaction) were analyzed between the two groups. Results The scores of the trial group were higher than those of the control group in theory exams and operation tests, with a significant difference (Plt;0.01). The before-after score differences of communication skills and critical thinking ability of the trial group were also higher than those of the control group, with a significant difference (Plt;0.01). The result of the anonymous questionnaire showed that, the students in the trial group had better satisfaction about Seminar case teaching method. Conclusion Seminar case teaching method applied in surgical nursing teaching is feasible and effective, which is better than traditional teaching method in improving knowledge, ability, and quality of nursing students.
Objective To assess the affect of problem-based learning (PBL) versus literature based learning(LBL) in clinical medicine students. Methods Computer retrieval was conducted to search for controlled studies comparing PBL with LBL. The quality of included studies was critically evaluated and data was analyzed by using The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software. Results Finally 11 articles were included in the review, but most of them were of low quality.There are clinical heterogeneity between different studis which cause descriptive results. The PBL tended to be superior to LBL in the analysis-skill, self-directed learning skill, data-searching skill, and original skill.Conclusion PBL tends to be associated with better learning results among clinical medicine students compared withLBL methods. We need large-scale, randomized controlled trials of higher quality to confirm this.
Objective To evaluate the effect and significance of PBL in clinical skills experiment teaching center (CSETC). Methods A total of 60 undergraduates in major of clinical medicine were divided into two groups according to their student ID. The control group (n=30) was set in an ordinary small classroom, while the experimental group (n=30) was in CSETC for fully using the teaching resources there. Both groups were taught with PBL method by same teachers, and the integrated final examination and questionnaire were adopted to evaluate the teaching effect. SPSS was used for statistical analysis. Results All 8 participated teachers believed that carrying out PBL in CSETC could promote teachers’ professional development, alleviate the shortage of teachers and classroom, increase the utilization ratio of CSETC, and improve the teaching quality. The results of survey on students showed that, compared with the control group, information management ability and clinical skills of students were improved obviously (Plt;0.01). Although there was no difference in total score of final exam, the experimental group was markedly higher than the control group in the score of clinical skill subject (Plt;0.01). Conclusion Carrying out PBL in CSETC can improve teaching quality, and clinical skills and information management ability of students. It is helpful to alleviate the shortage of teachers and classroom, and promote the teaching standards of CSETC.
Objective To assess the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) versus traditional methods in nursing students. Methods Computer retrieval was conducted to search for controlled studies comparing PBL and traditional methods. The quality of included studies was critically evaluated and data were analyzed by using The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software. Results A tota1 of 321 articles were retrieved, but only l1 were included. Metaanalyses showed that there was no significant difference between PBL and traditional methods in the objective knowledge of nursing students (SMD 0.12, 95%CI -0.32 to 0.56, P=0.6gt;0.05); but PBL was superior to traditional methods in the training of critical thinking (WMD 11.52, 95%CI 6.29 to 16.74), conflict resolution skills (WMD 8.09, 95%CI 5.02 to 11.16), clinical problem-solving skills (WMD 0.43, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.64), and communication skills (WMD 1.56, 95%CI 0.17 to 2.95). Although no significant difference was identified in the training of clinical decision-making skills, collaborative skills, and self-directed learning skills, PBL tended to be superior to traditional methods. Conclusion PBL tends are associated with better learning results among nursing students compared with traditional methods. However, most trials included in the review were of low quality, so large-scale randomized controlled trials of higher quality are needed to confirm this.
