Curriculum reform of combining P.E.with medicine in medical colleges and universities / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Taking Xiamen Medical College's combination of P.E.and medicine as an example,we aimed to investigate the students' needs by means of questionnaire,expert interviews,mathematical statistics and other empirical research methods.In the course of the reform started with the adjustments in the following three aspects,physical education course,the number of classes offered,and the faculty.The results showed that students' interests in learning were generally increased.Among the students,86％ were interested in the yoga class,and 77％ in the Health Qigong class.53.33％ and 26.67％ of the students believed that the yoga class is quite or relatively rewarding respectively,10.00％％ and 46.67％ held that the Health Qigong class is quite or relatively rewarding respectively,suggesting that the combination of P.E.and medicine in medical colleges and universities can stimulate students' interests in learning and further facilitate the students' lifelong physical education.Moreover,there is no need to introduce additional professional teachers,which is not restricted by the original teachers.The majority of students' feedback on teaching is excellent,but there are also some deficiencies in the course contents,which need to be further improved.
