Practice of TBL teaching in functional experiment teaching based on clinical practice ability / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

To explore the application effect of team-based learning (TBL) model in functional experiment teaching. A clinical case related to the animal experiment was selected and distributed to students through Internet before class. Individual tests for students were conducted in class to assess their understanding for the case. Then group tests were carried out, which were completed by in-group discussion. Finally, the clinical case was analyzed within group. The teaching process possesses several characteristics and advantages in helping students retrieve literature, cultivate their spirit of cooperation, their ability of clinical practice and so on, but it also has some shortcomings and deficiencies. Therefore, this paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of TBL teaching in functional experiment teaching based on existing experience so as to promote a broader application of TBL in our medical education.
