ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the effects and satisfaction of reference-induced blended teaching method in medical statistics teaching for undergraduate students in clinical medicine. MethodA total of 83 clinical medical undergraduate students from the class of 2018 at the Tongji University School of Medicine were enrolled into the study. The effect evaluation of blended teaching based on reference-induced self education （RISE） in the course of medical statistics was conducted. A self-designed questionnaire was used to assess student satisfaction. ResultsCompared with the traditional teaching method group， students’ distinguished achievement rate and pass rate in total score from RISE blended teaching group were 53.7% and 96.3%， respectively， and 83.3% students were satisfied with the overall effect. The RISE blended teaching method had higher satisfaction in stimulating learning interest （90.7% satisfaction rate， P=0.034） and cultivating scientific research ability （96.3% satisfaction rate， P=0.048）. ConclusionThe RISE blended teaching method， which integrates literature guidance with online and offline approaches， organically combines statistical knowledge with clinical research problems. It yields positive results in medical statistics education， stimulating learning interest， and fostering innovative scientific research abilities.
