ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the current construction of massive open online course (MOOC) of medical humanities in China, promote the sharing of high-quality curriculum resources, and provide information reference for curriculum design and planning. Mathematical statistics and mind map analysis were used to analyze 42 medical humanities MOOCs on 17 online course platforms during the epidemic, and the results showed that ①the scale and quantity of medical humanities MOOCs need to be expanded; ②there is regional imbalance in MOOCs construction, with the largest number in East China; ③most of the courses are taught by teachers in a team, teachers with senior professional titles are the main force of the team, and some teams have multidisciplinary backgrounds; ④there are rich teaching contents related to humanistic knowledge and ability, but the content related to medical humanistic spirit cognition needs to be added appropriately. According to the above analysis, it's suggested that the construction of MOOC should focus on systematism and standardization, equip a team of teachers with multidisciplinary backgrounds, value curriculum design and planning, and pay full attention to the feedback and evaluation of learners to find out deficiencies.
