The application of flipped class based on MOOC in the teaching of histology and embryology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the application of blending learning based on MOOC in Histology and Embryology, so as to improve students' learning effectiveness. Methods Nursing undergraduates in class one of 2017 grade were randomly selected as experimental group (n=47) , and nursing undergraduates in class two as control group (n=48), with blending learning and traditional teaching model adopted, respec-tively. SPSS 19.0 was applied to processing the data and T test were used to compare the results of the final exam of this course and the evaluation scale of students' independent learning ability in two groups. Results The experimental scores [(24.22±5.08) vs. (18.49±4.65)], paper test scores [(52.37±6.24) vs. (47.15± 5.99)], and total score [(76.61±7.22) vs. (62.83±7.36)], which shows the scores of experimental group were statistically higher than those of the control group. According to the evaluation scale of students' inde-pendent learning ability, the self-learning ability of the experimental group was better than that of the control group, with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Blending learning can be applied to the teaching of Histology and Embryology, which can effectively improve learning quality, with satisfactory teaching effects to both teachers and students.
