Application of MOOCs combined with flipped classroom teaching mode in experimental teaching of orthodon-tics cephalometry
Objective:To explore the application effectiveness of the blended teaching mode of MOOCs combined with flipped classroom(FCM)in the experimental teaching of cephalometric measurement in orthodontics,and provide refer-ences for improving the teaching quality of orthodontics.Methods:Seventy students who conducted clinical studies in the Or-thodontic Department of Tongji Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects,and they were randomly divided into a control group(n=35,using traditional teaching mode)and an experimental group(n=35,using the blended teaching mode of MOOC combined with flipped classroom).The impact of traditional teaching and the blended teaching mode of MOOC combined with flipped classroom on cephalometric measurement teaching in orthodontics,as well as the impact on students'accuracy in cephalometric measurement,were compared.The teaching effects of the two groups of students were evaluated through a questionnaire survey.Results:The measurement differences of SNA,SNB,MP-FH and U1-SN in cephalometric measurements for students in the experimental group were(2.35±0.48)°,(1.51±0.37)°,(3.34±0.69)°,and(1.74±0.45)°,respectively,while those of the control group were(3.82±1.42)°,(2.64±0.48)°,(5.15±1.64)°,and(3.64±0.77)°,with the measurement differences in the experimental group significantly lower than those in the control group,showing statistical significance(P<0.05).The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the experimental group students'independent thinking ability,teamwork skills,language expression ability,literature reading ability,self-learn-ing ability,and adaptability to teaching methods were all higher than those of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion:The blended teaching mode of MOOC combined with FCM can significantly improve the effective-ness of cephalometric measurement experimental teaching in orthodontics,and is beneficial for students to master the theoreti-cal knowledge and clinical skills of orthodontics.
