ABSTRACT
At the Southern Medical University in China, 600 medical students study macroscopic anatomy (briefly, anatomy), whereas at Ajou University in Korea, only 50 medical students study anatomy. Because of the significant difference in student numbers, the educational situations are quite dissimilar. The purpose of this study was to suggest desirable anatomy education in the large and small classes. For that purpose, the teaching of anatomy in the participating Chinese and Korean universities was compared. Subsequently, best practices and recommendations for the large and small classes were gathered from questionnaire surveys from the medical students (30 Chineses and 48 Koreans) and anatomists (12 Chinese and 2 Korean). Best practices noted were encouraging one another, while each group's recommendations were instructive to its counterpart. Considering these findings can help to guide the progress of students' learning and the corresponding anatomists' activity. This report provides useful information to other anatomists who instruct large or small numbers of students.
RESUMEN
En Southern Medical University de China, 600 estudiantes de medicina estudian anatomía macroscópica, mientras que en la Universidad de Ajou, en Corea, hay 50 estudiantes de medicina que estudian anatomía. Debido a la diferencia significativa en el número de estudiantes, las situaciones educativas son bastante diferentes. El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en identificar que tipo de educación de la anatomía es deseable en los cursos con mayor y menor cantidad de estudiantes. Se comparó la enseñanza de la anatomía en ambas universidades. Posteriormente, las mejores prácticas y recomendaciones para las clases grandes y pequeñas, se obtuvieron a partir de cuestionarios realizados a los estudiantes de medicina (30 chinos y 48 coreanos) y a los anatomistas (12 chinos y 2 coreanos). Las mejores prácticas observadas fueron motivadas por estudiantes y anatomistas, mientras que las recomendaciones de cada grupo fueron instructivas para su contraparte. Tener en cuenta estos hallazgos puede ayudar a guiar el progreso del aprendizaje de los estudiantes y la actividad correspondiente de los anatomistas. Este informe proporciona información útil a otros anatomistas que instruyen a un número grande o pequeño de estudiantes.
