Training the computational thinking of medical students in the process of data processing / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Basic Requirements of Teaching Basic Courses of Computer in Universities proposed pro-moting reforms to universities' computer basic education, whose core was to cultivate the students' computational thinking ability, infiltrating the essential thinking method of computational science in content and design of the course. Tianjin Medical University distinguished different levels of students according to a proficiency test, implemented graded teaching, introduced MATLAB in the course of program design, and performed modular teaching according to the students' specialties. All courses implemented small class teaching to strengthen the students' ability to apply computational thinking and computer technology to medical practice and introduced network-based test, in order to provide ideas for the teaching reform of computer basic courses in medical col-leges and universities.
