ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of situational case-based learning (CBL) teaching method in the surgical animal experiment course.Methods:The five-year clinical medicine students of the Batch 2016 teaching reform classes in Inner Mongolia Medical University were selected as the research objects. The teaching reform Class 1 was the control group, and the teaching reform Class 2 was the experimental group, with 36 students in each group. The control group adopted traditional teaching, while the experimental group introduced situational CBL teaching. The mid-term assessment of the course was carried out, using a multi-station examination including theory and skill operation. At the same time, a questionnaire survey of course satisfaction was carried out among the two groups of students. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The theoretical performance of the experimental group (72.44 ±7.91) was significantly higher than that of the control group (60.49±8.23), and the performance of skill operation (77.69±7.13) was significantly higher than that of the control group (60.58±8.91). The course satisfaction of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group.Conclusion:The introduction of situational CBL teaching could significantly improve the classroom teaching effect of surgical animal experiments, and be beneficial for medical students to master the basic skills of surgery and the related general theory knowledge of clinical medicine.
