ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the English learning efficacy and autonomous learning proficiency of postgraduates in universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), explore whether there is a correlation between English learning efficacy and autonomous learning ability, and to analyze the influence of English learning efficacy on autonomous learning ability.Methods:A questionnaire survey was carried out to assess the levels of English learning efficacy and English autonomous learning in two levels of belief and behavior among 207 postgraduates in TCM universities. Statistical methods such as independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-test, and Kruskal Wallis H-test were applied to analyze the data collected in the questionnaire survey. Results:The average score of subjects' English learning efficacy was 2.82 ± 0.60 (1 ≤ ≤ 5), and the average score of subjects' English autonomous learning ability was 3.24 ± 0.53 (1 ≤ ≤ 5). The scores of their autonomous English learning in the level of belief was significantly higher than those of the level of behavior ( t =14.10, P < 0.001). The scores of autonomous learning ability of subjects in Batch 2020 were significantly lower than those in Batch 2021 ( t = 2.64, P = 0.009). Linear correlation analysis showed that there was a moderately positive correlation between English learning efficacy and autonomous learning ability. Conclusion:The English learning efficacy of postgraduates in TCM universities is at the middle-low level and their English autonomous learning ability is at the middle level. Moreover, their English autonomous learning in the level of behavior underperforms the English autonomous learning in the level of belief, and the English autonomous learning ability decreases with the increase of the grades. In addition, the English learning efficacy has a moderate positive influence on autonomous English learning ability.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct the teaching model of medical statistics in universities of TCM through the questionnaire of knowledge,attitude and practice structure.Methods Medical statistics KAP questionnaire survey was conducted among postgraduates using proportional stratified sampling according to the grade.It describes the present situation and calculates the knowledge loss coefficient,knowledge demand index and behavioral application intensity of medical statistics.The Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences among different grades.Results 109 questionnaires were withdrawn.The recovery was 83.84％.45 cases (41.3％) were first year postgraduate,33 cases (30.3％) were 2nd year postgraduate,and 31 cases (28.4％) were 3rd year postgraduate.At the knowledge level,the knowledge loss coefficient of the second year postgraduates was 0.635,and there was no statistical difference (P=-0.651) vs the first year postgraduate (0.638).At the attitude level,Knowledge demand index had no statistical significance difference (P=0.213)between postgraduates in grade two (96.87％) and grade three (75.00％).Most medical postgraduates held positive attitudes toward medical statistics,hoping to strengthen the training of their application ability such as medical statistics in design and research thinking (29.18％),the statistical methods selection and the interpretation of the results (31.53％) and the statistical software operation (36.07％).At the practice level,the percentage of application intensity with statistical methods of third-year postgraduates (100.00％) was higher than the second-year postgraduates (37.50％),and the second-year postgraduates higher than the first-year postgraduates (20.45％).And with the growth of year,the percentage of application intensity was gradually increasing (P=O.O03).Among them,published scientific papers accounted for 16.5％,and 58.6％ paper grade concentrated in the core journals.Conclusion Application development should be enhanced by modularization teaching with practical issues.
ABSTRACT
Clinical practice training is a interim curriculum of basic courses and clinical courses, medical university and hospital, which is an important part of medical education system. Clinical practice training teachers, as the main subject of teaching activity, is a key in guaranteeing a better teaching quality. Therefore, we should attach great importance to the construction of clinical practice training teachers, renewal of the idea of clinical practice training, training system and measures of clinical practice training teachers and the improvement of the management of clinical practice training
ABSTRACT
The importance of classics on traditional Chinese medicine in training talents of traditional Chinese medicine was analyzed according to the fact that education of classics on traditional Chinese medicine is increasingly marginalized.After the serial activities of reading classics, learning classics, and using classicsin libraries of colleges and universities of traditional Chinese medicine were described , the advantages and disadvantages of such activities were summarized with certain suggestions put forward for overcoming the disadvantages .
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the retrieval of master and doctorial dissertations entitledsystematic review/meta analysis in domestic universities of traditional Chinese medicine. Methods Master and doctorial dissertations entitledsystematic review/meta analysis in domestic universities of traditional Chinese medicine retrieved from China Dissertation Full-text Database were analyzed using Excel and SPSS 17. 0,respectively. Results Of the 423 master and doctorial dissertations included in this study,71. 9% were retrieved from both Chinese and English databases, 27. 7% were retrieved from Chinese databases,82. 8% were retrieved from two or more Chinese databases,54. 1% were retrieved from two or more English databases. The most frequently retrieved Chinese database was CKNI, followed by VIP, CBM and Wanfang. The most frequently retrieved English database was PubMed, followed by Cochrane Library, EMBASE and OVID. Conclusion The low use of traditional Chinese medicine databases is the main prob-lem in retrieval of master and doctorial dissertations entitledsystematic review/meta analysis in domestic univer-sities of traditional Chinese medicine. No significant difference is found in retrieved doctorial dissertations and mas-ter dissertations between 211and non-211 universities of traditional Chinese medicine.
ABSTRACT
The investigation of characteristic databases in 22 domestic colleges or universities of traditional Chinese medicine showed that the information resources have not been fully developed and the developed databases of tradi-tional Chinese medicine lacked of deep hierarchies.It was pointed out that updating their contents and deepening their hierarchies are the developing orientation for the characteristic databases of traditional Chinese medicine.

ABSTRACT
It is very necessary to apply case-teaching method to Emergency Medicine in Universities of TCM. To establish the case-teaching system,we ourselves have written teaching materials,trained teachers, and designed all sorts of the medical records. Moreover, we have deployed other methods and principles to put this teaching into practice, used clinical skill practising as a essential supplement of teaching effect. Comparing with the traditional teaching method, it is clear that case-teaching method could make students' learning initiative and positivity improved significantly, their test scores promoted obviously. Thus, carrying out case-teaching method in Emergency Medicine could advance students capability of acquisition of knowledge and their clinical thinking .
