A discussion on the tactics for cultivating medical students' autonomous learning ability / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the limitations of traditional medical theory teaching, and proposes the strategies for cultivating medical students' autonomous learning ability, i.e., informatization-based flipped classroom, problem-oriented teaching, mind mapping training, semi-open book examination, exploitation of the clinical and scientific thinking, and practice activities of medical humanities. The strategies of "problem oriented teaching" and "mind mapping training" were integrated into the practice teaching of hematology. Compared with the traditional medical teaching mode, students' feedback after class showed that the teaching mode incorporating new cultivation strategies was more conducive to the improvement of students' self-learning ability ( P = 0.008), and their satisfaction with teaching mode, learning interest, and self-learning ability were all improved. Thus, the appropriate application of the above strategies can help improve students' autonomous learning ability and optimize the effect of medical theory teaching.
