ABSTRACT
The following curriculum reforms in medical functional experiment have been performed in Guangzhou Medical University: taking comprehensive experiments as main contents, supported by self-designed experiments and innovative experiments after class, applying the blended teaching mode by combining virtual simulation experiments and animal experiments, setting up "simulative functional experiment" as an optional course based on intelligent simulated human system, and developing medical popular science education for teenagers. Questionnaire results show that, through these reforms, remarkable effects have been achieved in students' integrated practical ability, scientific accomplishment, clinical and innovative thinking ability.
ABSTRACT
Innovative Experiment Competition of Preventive Medicine is a significant constitution of Guangdong Undergraduate Technique Competition of Preventive Medicine. Without the constriction of majors, students participate in group with 3 people, design their own experiments around the hot spots and practical problems in public health area and are awarded according to the grades of the experiment design and thesis defence. The most topics in the first and the second competitions are about environmental hygiene and occupational hygiene, and the infectious diseases are attracting increasing attention. More and more topics combine the method of experiment with investigation. Some tactics are also suggested that innovation, view of general population, autonomy and investigation should be included in topic selection for this contest.
ABSTRACT
Based on the significance of the innovative experiment program for college students and the experience at home and abroad,this paper analyzes the current situation of the implementation of this plan by School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University.It summarizes the beneficial experience of training students' scientific research thinking in the implementation of the course plan,through literature reading,project design and so on.Practice has proved that,with rigorous and reasonable protection system and the scientific implementation of the process and the quality control system,the program can play a role in improving the students' ability of innovation and practice,stimulate their interest in scientific research,and excavate their research potential.
ABSTRACT
A study on the reform of the evaluation method for college students' innovative experiment was carried out on account of the major problems existed in the present evaluation system.A set of evaluation indicators emphasizing process evaluation was constructed based on the theory of developmental evaluation.Also the performance appraisal methods for all indicators were determined.Practice suggested that the evaluation method based on developmental evaluation was able to promote the ability of scientific research and innovation of college students.
ABSTRACT
The innovative experiment programs are important teaching reform for improving the students' innovating spirit and practical ability.The innovative experimental studies for medical students in preclinical stage include scientific research topic selection,information retrieval,experimental study and manuscript preparation.The innovative experiments stimulated the research interests,improved the comprehensive quality and promoted the learning of preclinical theories.However,the supporting rules,the assessment methods and the quality of teachers remain to be further improved in order to execute the programs more successfully.
