The Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer Simulation in the Teaching of Abdominal Diagnosis / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To compare the effectivenessbetween the use of computer simulationin the teaching of abdomen diagnosis skills and the traditional teaching mode by conducting the real－time assessment and after－school questionnaire survey. Method Weselected 308 undergraduates with 165 (4 classes) majoring in clinical medicine and 143 (4 classes) majoring in medical laboratory in Kunming Medical Universityas the research object. Students were randomly divided into two groups and taught using demonstration method. One group practiced abdominal examination on other students while the other group adopted computer simulation.Both groups were giventests of practical skills and anonymous open－ended questionnaires after class.Results The average score of computer simulation group was higher than the other group. The questionnaire survey showed that computer simulation was suitable for repeatable exercises and easy to review after class (P＜0.05).Conclusion In thediagnostic practice of abdominal examination,teaching assisted with computer simulation showing an outstanding performance should be combined and promoted with the traditional teaching.
