Application of three-dimensional digital reconstruction and printing technology in the clinical teaching of complex orthopedics / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To explore the effect of 3d digital reconstruction and printing technology on the teaching of complex orthopedics. Methods A total of 90 interns in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from September 2016 to September 2017 were selected as research subjects. According to the different teaching methods, they were divided into control group (n=45) and experimental group (n=45). The former received traditional teaching;the latter used three-dimensional digital reconstruction and printing technology to print out complex fracture models of patients, digitally reproduced fracture classification, developed scientific surgical plans through fracture models, and simulated surgical fixation methods. Examination was divided into clinical skills and written exam according to exam outline requirements; Self-cognitive ability score included professional interest, fracture understanding, etc. The satisfaction of the medical students in the experimental group was determined using self-made questionnaires. t test was used to compare data between groups. Results Experimental groups' scores for surgical skills (84.36 ±0.28) and theoretical knowledge (87.55 ±0.44) were higher than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The professional interest of the experimantal group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The students' classroom atmosphere was significantly better compared with the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Using 3 d digital reconstruction and printing technology to establish modes in complex orthopedics teaching process can effectively improve interns' surgical skills and theoretical knowledge, and promote student satisfaction.

Teaching innovation based on the technology of digital orthopedic in orthopedic clinical teach-ing for eight-year program medical students / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of teaching mode innovation based on the tech-nology of digital orthopedic in orthopedic clinical teaching for eight-year program medical students. Methods 40 eight-year program medical students who took part in orthopedic clinical trainee in the 2015 school year were chosen and divided into two groups:traditional teaching group and digital tech-nology teaching group. The digital technology teaching group adopted a digital model of orthopedic technology, printing aids, use of auxiliary aids and simulate actual cases operative teaching while an-other group used traditional teaching. After the novitiate, questionnaire investigations were used to evaluate the effect of the orthopedic clinical teaching in both groups. At the same time an examination after the course was used to examine the teaching effect of the two groups, and SPSS 19.0 software was used to do chi-square test and t test to the result of the examination of both groups. Results Compared with the traditional teaching group students, the digital technology teaching group students more agreed with the new teaching mode for their interest in learning and hands-on ability bring positive influence (P<0.05), overall satisfaction of teaching method was significantly higher (P=0.03). The operation ex-amination result [(92.1±9.1) vs. (70.5±9.6)] and the comprehensive examination result (84.6±10.1) vs. (72.3±10.6)were more outstanding, the t test showed that the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0.05). Conclusion Teaching mode innovation based on the technology of digital orthopedic in eight-year program medical students has showed obvious advantages in orthopedic clinical teaching, which can stimulate students' interest in learning, improve the teaching effect and have broad applica-tion prospects in orthopedic clinical teaching.

Role of constructivist learning theory in improving clinical teaching quality in department of orthopedics / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Constructivism teaching theory emphasizes the central role of student in learning and this theoretical framework holds that learning always builds upon the active exploring and discovering new knowledge.Department of orthopedics in the first affiliated hospital of Chongqing Medical University introduced and implemented constructivism teaching in teachers' research and teaching activity as well as in students' learning.This mobilized students' learning enthusiasm and improved clinical teaching quality.
