[Exploration and Application of Discussion-based Teaching Method in Teaching of Medical Parasitology].
摘要
In this study, students majoring in Clinical Medicine were enrolled to explore the effect of discussion-based teaching method in the teaching of medical parasitology. One hundred and fifty-six students (with an entry year of 2011) in classes 1-3 received the discussion-based teaching while 153 students in classes 4-6 received traditional teaching. The effect of teaching was evaluated in terms of final examination score and questionnaire, and compared between the groups. The final examination score of students receiving the discussion-based teaching （86.1±6.6） was significantly higher than those receiving the traditional teaching（74.2±8.3）（P<0.05）. The discussion-based teaching method was graded as “excellent” by 89.1%（136/156）of the students, and was considered to be superior to the traditional teaching by 96.8%（151/156）of the students. The results indicate that the discussion-based teaching method can enhance interactions between participants, change the ways of thinking, and provide inspirations for learning and exploration.
