ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the applications of standardized patients teaching method in clin-ical practice teaching effect for students majoring in rehabilitation therapy in the course of occupation therapy. Methods The 2013 classes of rehabilitation therapy specialty in our college were selected as the subjects of study in the two groups. Group 1 was taught by the traditional teaching method, while group 2 was taught by the standardized patients (SP) teaching method. After learning, we made an analysis of two groups through the form of theory questions, practical operation and the questionnaire to assess the teaching efficacy. Measurement data using two sample mean t-test after SPSS 13.0 software for statistical analysis. Results The scores of skills test and questionnaire in students taught by SP teaching method is signifi-cantly higher than those in students taught by traditional teaching method (P<0.05). In the theoretical exami-nation, the SP teaching group outperformed the traditional teaching group, but the difference was not statis-tically significant. Conclusion In occupation therapy application, SP teaching is superior to traditional teaching in improving students' ability of analysis and judgment, operation skill and communication level, which can be extended to other clinical courses of rehabilitation therapy.
ABSTRACT
Group cooperative learning is a modem education model.In order to prompt the exploration of the education model in the practice lesson of epidemiology,group cooperative learning method was adopted.There are five key steps for the conduction of group cooperative learning,including task assignment(learning points,research topics,and infomation retrieval) 3-5 days before the task is done,reviewing the key theoretical contents,requiring students to refer to inf'ormation; organizing students to review the theoretical knowledge; students' discussion and making PPT in small groups,team report by representatives,and summing up by teachers at last.Teachers should pay attention to the rationality of interior structure and group members' work.Choosing a proper research subject is very important for arousing the students' interest of study.Based on the active classroom atmosphere and students' feedback,group cooperative learning method plays an important role in promoting the teaching efficiency of practice lesson.However,there are still insufficiencies to be improved.
