ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of case-based learning (CBL) combined with problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model in refresher training of medical imaging technologists.Methods:The study recruited 46 imaging technologists trained in radiology department in the Batch 2017 and Batch 2018 of West China Hospital of Sichuan University. They were divided into 2 groups: experimental group (23 persons) and control group (23 persons). CBL combined with PBL teaching method was used in the experimental group, and traditional lecture-based learning (LBL) method was used in the control group. The results of attitude evaluation, staged exminations, graduation assessment and operational skill tests were compared between the two groups, and the questionnaire survey was performed to test the affirmation of self-worth of the two groups of interns. SPSS 17.0 was used for chi-square test, independent t test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Theoretical examination results at the second stage, the third stage, completion and operational examination results in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(91.17±2.59) vs. (85.26±3.03), (92.00±1.86) vs. (87.43±3.23), (92.39±2.08) vs. (87.04±2.93), (85.70±5.48) vs. (80.87±5.57), P<0.05]. The questionnaire survey showed that such 7 aspects as the stimulation of subject interest, the cultivation of exploration spirit, the exercise of self-learning ability, the establishment of clinical ideas, the analysis of difficult problems, the mastering of practical operations, and the affirmation of self-worth in the experimental group were better than those in the control group, with significant difference ( P<0.05), while the consolidation of theoretical knowledge of the experimental group was not statistically different from the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The reasonable application of CBL combined with PBL teaching model in refresher training of medical imaging technologists is helpful to improve their learning enthusiasm, self-learning ability, clinical analysis ability, practical operation ability, and long-term consolidation of theoretical knowledge.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#The aim of this study was to evaluate the value for CBL and LBL teaching method in the training of refresher doctors in reproductive medicine.@*Methods@#A questionnaire survey was conducted among 186 refresher doctors who had studied in the reproductive medicine center at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 and December 2017 one year after their graduation. We tested 33 refresher doctors in observe group and 33 refresher doctors in the CBL+LBL group who graduated at the same period.@*Results@#Ninety-two refresher doctors responded to the investigation. The questionnaire survey showed that 84.78% of the refresher doctors thought that CBL and LBL teaching method could improve their learning abilities, clinical problem analysis and solving skills, and surgical techniques, which was conducive to promoting their assisted reproductive technology. Besides, 63.04% of refresher doctors believed this method improved their research abilities. In CBL+LBL group, examination scores of theoretical knowledge were significantly higher than the observe group (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The combination of CBL and LBL is effective and feasible in the training of refresher doctors in reproductive medicine.
