ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the preferences of medical students for the performance, function and recommendation method of personalized learning resource recommendation system, as well as the correlation with the self-directed learning ability of medical students, so as to provide a reference for further building an effective learning platform and learning resource tool.Methods:A total of 482 first-year to third-year medical students in a medical university were selected as the research subjects. The electronic self-directed learning scale and the self-designed medical education learning resources recommendation system of performance, function and recommendation method scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the performance, function and recommendation method preference of medical students' information resource recommendation system and self-directed learning ability.Results:Medical students had high demand and preference for learning [(4.35±0.58) points], accuracy [(4.32±0.62) points] and timeliness [(4.32±0.62) points] of learning resource recommendation system. In terms of the function of the recommendation system, the following [(4.10±0.71) points] and sharing [(3.94±0.82) points], and searching [(4.35±0.59) points], feedback [(4.09±0.73) points] and publication [(3.80±0.88) points] in the interactive function were all highly rated. For the preference of recommendation methods, the scores of discipline connection [(4.07±0.66) points] and time line [(4.02±0.74) points] were higher. The dimensions with high relevance to self-directed learning included timeliness ( r=0.367), social attributes ( r=0.361), and the basis of similar groups ( r=0.316). Conclusion:Medical students are familiar with and have a positive attitude towards the performance, functions and recommendation methods of the learning resource recommendation system, and have a cognitive foundation for the construction of the learning resource recommendation system and related resource platforms. This system has a certain correlation with the self-directed learning ability of medical students. Promoting the construction of medical education information resources is conducive to promoting the development of self-directed learning ability of medical students.
