RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of web-based problem-based learning software on the Clinical Medicine PBL Comprehensive Course. Methods:Thirty-eight students from the pilot class of undergraduate excellent doctors in clinical medicine were selected as the research objects. Based on the test scores of web-based problem-based learning software before the start of the course, the improvement of scores after passing the training of the Clinical Medicine PBL Comprehensive Course were compared, and the students' clinical thinking were quantitatively evaluated. Results:After all students completed the course, their abilities of expression and communication, teamwork and cooperation, problem analysis and clinical reasoning, and knowledge information management of the students increased steadily with the increase in the number of cases, but it was statistically significant after two PBL case trainings ( P<0.05). Learning intentions and attitudes scored the highest in the second PBL case (acute myocardial infarction), with statistical differences ( P<0.05). After training through the PBL course, diagnostic performance, clinical thinking, treatment scores, and overall performance scores of the students were significantly increased than before, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The scores of case report writing and knowledge acquisition were not obviously improved. Conclusion:The combination of formative evaluation and web-based problem-based learning software can better evaluate the teaching effect and help students to understand their own shortcomings.
