Application of the Biochemistry Hybrid Teaching Mode Based on BOPPPS / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

In the internet era, massive online open course (MOOC) provides a new research idea and direction for educational reform. The course of biochemistry has the characteristics of many miscellaneous knowledge points, and emphasis on theoretical studies. To overcome students' low interest in learning, the author designed an online and offline hybrid teaching mode based on the BOPPPS teaching method, and carried out the practice in the biochemistry classroom. The situational cases in BOPPPS stimulated the students' interest in learning, and the progressive classroom exercises expanded their horizon. The results show that compared with the students who have experienced blended learning, the depth of knowledge understanding of the experimental group is significantly better than that of the control group, and there is also a significant difference in learning effect (P<0.05). The average score of the experimental group (81. 13) was about 5 points higher than that of the control group (76. 21). The results of the questionnaire survey show that compared with the traditional teaching mode, students are more willing to accept the new teaching mode, and are willing to support the continuation of the teaching mode in the future semesters. Students believe that they can learn more from the new teaching mode than the traditional teaching mode. Moreover, the new teaching mode also promotes teamwork ability, improves students' interest in learning, and students are willing to spend a longer time preparing for the class independently before class. In sum, this method stimulates students' initiative in learning and promotes students to learn better.

Homeopatia no serviço público de saúde: pré-avaliação das ações no município do Recife (PE) / Homeopathy in the public health service: pre-assessment of activities in Recife, Pernambuco

Resumo Trata-se de um estudo de pré-avaliação das ações de homeopatia no município do Recife (PE). Por meio de revisão de documentos oficiais e técnicos foi elaborado um modelo teórico lógico (ML) preliminar da intervenção, no qual se baseou a formulação de uma matriz de critérios e indicadores para avaliação. O ML e a matriz foram submetidos a informantes-chave com expertise na área. Os dados foram coletados de seis entrevistas realizadas em 2016. Os componentes pactuados para ambas as ferramentas foram: gestão e coordenação conjunta; atenção homeopática; e educação, comunicação e mobilização social. Espera-se que o ML e a matriz de critérios e indicadores elaborados e validados sirvam como referência na instituição de processos de monitoramento e avaliação de intervenções semelhantes.

Abstract This study is a pre-assessment of homeopathy activities in the municipality of Recife, Pernambuco. Review of official and technical documentation produced a preliminary logical theoretical model for this intervention, based on a matrix of criteria and indicators for evaluation. The model and matrix were submitted to key informants with expertise in the area, and the data were collected from six interviews in 2016. Three major components were seen to be needed for both tools: joint management and coordination; homeopathic care; and education, communication, and social mobilization. We expect the theoretical model and matrix of criteria and indicators which were developed and validated to serve as a reference to establish procedures for monitoring and assessing similar interventions.

Introduction of a new model for prediction and evaluationof research capability of high-level scientific research personnels / 中华医学科研管理杂志

High-level researchers,who can efficiently enhance the research strength of the college,are often brought in at high cost.Therefore there is often the need to scientifically evaluate these researchers when introduce them.We here discuss the main indicators for the evaluation of High-level researchers.Taking into consideration of their age,research span,et al.,we propose a model for the quantitative evaluation of research capability based on research achievement and prediction of future achievement,
