ABSTRACT
This paper explores the teaching methods of medical English terminology from three aspects: vertical and horizontal learning thinking style, DAR(division, analysis and reading) three-step terminology reading process, and diverse comparative vocabulary learning methods. In the teaching, students are guided to establish a framework of terminology learning in a macroscopic level, to interpret medical step by step and to use some of the comparative learning methods in ordinary English vocabulary learning to consolidate the learning and memory of medical terms. Through these three aspects of teaching guidance, students are helped to weave their medical terminology learning framework, to build a terminology learning library, and to turn terminology learning and application into a lasting and effective learning process.
ABSTRACT
O responder por exclusão é um padrão consistente de comportamento descrito como a tendência em selecionar o objeto indefinido, entre outros definidos, diante de um nome indefinido. Como a relação nome-objeto nem sempre se mantém após uma tentativa, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito da apresentação de características do objeto indefinido na aprendizagem. Foi solicitado que os participantes (10 crianças de 24 a 34 meses) selecionassem brinquedos correspondentes às palavras ditadas, dentre um conjunto (linha de base com objetos e palavras definidos); então, eram conduzidas sondas de exclusão e de verificação de aprendizagem. Características específicas dos objetos indefinidos eram demonstradas antes das sondas na Condição Com Demonstração (CD) e não ocorriam na Condição Sem Demonstração (SD). Oito crianças responderam por exclusão em todas as sondas; não houve diferenças significativas entre as condições na aprendizagem. Os dados sugerem que a demonstração de características do objeto não contribui para a aprendizagem.
Responding by exclusion is a consistent pattern of behavior described as the tendency to select the undefined object, among other defined, to an undefined name. Since the relationship (object name) does not always hold after a trial, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of presentation of the undefined object characteristics in learning. It was requested that participants (10 children 24-34 months) choose a toy to the word dictated, among a set (baseline with defined objects and words); then, were conducted exclusion and learning probes. Features of the undefined object was demonstrated before the probes in Condition CD and did not occur in Condition SD. Eight children accounted for exclusion in all probes; there was no difference in learning probes. The data suggest that the demonstration of the objects features does not contribute to learning.

Objective To explore effective ways of vocabulary learning through investigation of medical college students . Methods Vocabulary learning of 200 medical college students from grade 2010 (high-score group and low-score group)were investigated by self-made scales. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted by PASW Statistics software. Vocabulary learning of two groups was compared by independent-samples t test. Results There were statistical significances in factors of‘attitude’ (P=0.000),‘methods and strategies’(P=0.000),‘vocabulary depth’(P=0.010)between higher-score and lower-score students and there was no statistical significance was in ‘importance of vocabulary’ (P=0.099)between two groups. Conclusions Attitude,methods and strategies as well as vocabulary depth play a central role in vocabulary learning.
