RÉSUMÉ
Objective To evaluate the practical efficacy of comparison method in experimental teaching of pathological anatomy.Methods The junior college students of stomatology were divided into experimental group (n =48) and control group (n =48) randomly.Students in experimental group adopted the experimental teaching with comparison method of pathological anatomy and histology while those in control group followed the traditional experimental teaching.Experiment examination results of two groups were compared and questionnaire investigation was carried out among students in experimental group.Results Average score of experiment examination in experimental group was (88.35 ±5.68) while that in control group was (78.35 ±4.86),with statistical differences (P ＜0.01).The results of questionnaire investigation showed that students in experiment group preferred comparison teaching method.Conclusions Comparison teaching method is feasible,the mechanism of which emphasizes gaining new knowledge by reviewing the old and strengthens the contact of basic subjects,therefore it is conducive to enhancing the quality of pathological experimental teaching.
