Teaching experience in Science of Acupuncture and Moxibustion : the advantage of "training the techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion before introducing meridians and acupoints" / 中国针灸

ABSTRACT

In term of four aspects, named "getting the familiarity", "turning to the positive action", "conquering the fear emotion" and "bringing the practice into play", the authors state that the teaching pattern, "training the techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion before introducing meridians and acupoints" can vividly introduce the classical content of meridians and acupoints in the Part One of Science of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, exclude the repeatability of the content and improve the teaching quality. This teaching pattern enables the students mastering the techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion before the practice and laying a good foundation for learning meridians and acupoints. The authors put forward the good suggestion of the teaching course arrangement of Science of Acupuncture and Moxibustion to benefit the teaching reform.
