ABSTRACT
Information technology has become an important driver to facilitate higher education developments in the context of new medical sciences. A new “virtual-real combination” experimental teaching model was designed and created through integrating information technology with experimental teaching by Experimental Teaching Center of Basic Medical Sciences and Department of Pathogen Biology, Nanjing Medical University and was applied in Human Parasitology teaching, which achieved satisfactory teaching effectiveness. This new model showed effective to deepen the understanding of the basic human parasitology knowledge, improve the operative skills, and cultivate the moral literacy and comprehensive capability among medical students. This report presents the teaching protocols and implementation, teaching effectiveness and evaluation, and experiences of comprehensive schistosome experiments.
ABSTRACT
Teaching evaluation is an important measure to test the teaching quality. In order to better achieve the training objectives among international medical students based on the specific conditions of foreign students and the characteristics of Human Parasitology, a process-based assessment and evaluation system has been established for international medical students. The process assessment highlights the characteristics of assessment process, diversified forms and inquires of test questions. Following implementation of process assessment, the proportion of excellence (examination scores of 90 and higher) improved from 3.25% (10/308) to 13.09% (50/382) (t = 5.995, P < 0.001) and the proportion of good marks (examination scores of 80 to 89) increased from 18.83% (58/308) to 36.13% (138/382) (t = 7.505, P < 0.001) during the semester assessment among international medical students at five grades, while the proportion of failure in examination pass (examination scores of below 60) reduced from 12.34% (38/308) to 3.24% (10/382) (t = 7.303, P < 0.000 1), indicating that the process-based assessment and evaluation system improves the examination score of Human Parasitology among international medical students and the teaching quality of Human Parasitology.
ABSTRACT
Small private online course (SPOC), an emerging network-based, student-centered blended teaching model, combines the advantages of online teaching and flipped classroom, aiming to effectively improve students’ autonomous learning ability and learning efficiency. Considering a remarkable decline in the course of Human Parasitology, we built an SPOC-based blended teaching model for Human Parasitology, covering pre-course learning, intra-course leaning, post-course consolidation and evaluation, and such a model was applied among grade 2019 students with specialty of clinical medicine. Following the application of the SPOC-based blended teaching model, most students had improvements in autonomous learning ability and activity, and understanding of human parasitology knowledge, and the examination score disparity was avoided.
ABSTRACT
To set the cultivation goal with adaptation to rural order-oriented medical students, the teaching mode of Human Parasitology was reformed in the context of curriculum ideological and political education. The new teaching mode not only enables students to harvest medical knowledge during the school education stage, but also plays a guiding role in cultivation of humanistic qualities and professional spirit, which provides a basis for cultivating general practitioners serving for grassroots healthcare.
ABSTRACT
The mixed teaching model combines the advantages of traditional teaching and network teaching in the “Internet +” era, which has become one of the important trends in the higher education teaching development. In order to follow this development trend, the human parasitology teaching team makes a reasonable use of modern information techniques, actively promotes the construction and application of online resources, and conducts mixed online and offline teaching based on MOOC resources and the experimental teaching digital platform. This mixed teaching model has shown a positive impact on both teaching and learning among teachers and students; however, students’ personalized independent and deep learning remains unsatisfactory. It is suggested that the online course resources construction, teaching design and digital literacy remain to be increased, so as to create a high-level, innovative and challenging online-offline mixed “golden course”
ABSTRACT
To achieve the combination of ideological and political education curriculum and curriculum ideological and political education, the ideological and political education was integrated into the teaching of medical basic course Human Parasitology. Based on improving the cultivation of the teaching team, insisting on morality education and education-directed professional curriculum teaching, the pathway of integrating curriculum ideological and political education into medical science education was explored. Through putting the ideological and political elements contained throughout the professional curriculum teaching process, establishing new teaching patterns of integrating ideological and political education into the curriculum, and strengthening the collaboration between professional institutions and universities, we aimed to build Human Parasitology as a gold ideological and political education curriculum.

ABSTRACT
Teaching level is the core of teaching quality monitoring.Students' feedback to the quality ofteaching will help teachers to reflect and rectify the related factors of their teaching,so as to achieve the purpose of improving teaching quality.We have always insisted on doing this work.However,there are inconveniences in the "paper version" of the survey:complicated preparations and operations,inconvenient storage,and labor and material costs.Combined with the actual situation in our department,we are trying to reform and explore the digital survey for teaching quality ofhuman parasitology.Teachers will put the issue on the network,students can evaluate it at anytime,anywhere,and the platform automatically organize the information and quickly feed back to the teachers.The novel and effectiveway has been well received by students and teachers.
ABSTRACT
To strengthen the understanding of schistosomiasis in the curriculum of human parasitology , an effective and feasible method will benefit to the improvement of teaching quality .In this study , by constructing mouse model of schistosomiasis infected with Schitosoma japonicum, designing standard teaching contents , and fully exploring the resources of this animal model in the practice classes , we displayed and interpreted the morphology of key stages of Schitosoma in its life cycle, its parasitic features, the symptoms of schistosomiasis in mouse model , the pathological changes of affected organs .The mouse model of schistosomiasis applied in the practice classes would make up for the shortages left in the theory classes , push the students to form a comprehensive understanding to schistosomiasis , to enhance their operation ability , and therefore , would significantly elevate the teaching quality of human parasitol-ogy course and contribute to the promotion of basic medical education .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of applying flipped classroom in human parasitology. Methods Totally 430 students of 5-year program were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental class received human parasitology teaching through flipped classroom teaching mode, while the control class received traditional teaching. The effect of teaching was evaluated by questionnaire and examination. The data were analyzed through t-test. Result Meanwhile, statistical difference was found in aver age score of total between experiment group and control group [(68.2 ±8.6) vs. (66.6 ±11.0), P=0.032]. There was also statistical difference in average score of comprehensive analysis [(16.4±3.2) vs. (16.1 ±3.9), P=0.038]. Questionnaire survey of satisfaction showed that 191 students of experimental class (90.95%) felt new teaching mode could improve autonomous learning ability, 199 students (94.76%) in-creased interest in learning;185 students (88.10%) had more interactive with teachers, 178 students (84.76%) enhanced cooperation between st udents, 186 students (88.57%) approved of small group discussion learning and 165 students (78.57%) had no extra burden. Conclusion Flipped classroom teaching mode can improve students' autonomous learning ability and cultivate their abilities of independent thinking, cooperation, criti-cism, innovation, analyzing and solving problems. Thus this new teaching mode is worthy of reference and popularization.
