Role of Scenario Simulation Method Combined with the Traditional Teaching Mode in Medical General Education
Objective To explore the feasibility and application value of scenario simulation method combined with the traditional teaching mode in medical general education so as to provide reference for better medical general education.Methods A total of 120 freshmen with non-medical background who took Introduction to Health Literacy,a general medical course in Xi'an Jiaotong University,from September 2022 to June 2023,were selected as the control group.Another 120 freshmen with non-medical background who took the same general education course in Xi'an Jiaotong University from September 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the experimental group.The experimental group received the scenario simulation method combined with the traditional teaching mode,whereas the control group was taught only with the traditional teaching mode.After the completion of the course,the effects of the two modes were analyzed through the theory test and in-class quizzes.Students finally got a comprehensive score.The comprehensive score=theory test score×70%+in-class quizzes score×30%.The theory test scores,in-class quizzes scores,and comprehensive scores of the two groups were compared.Students'feedback on their learning experience of scenario simula-tion method was collected through an online questionnaire survey.Results The theory test scores,in-class quizzes scores and comprehensive scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).Most of the students believed that scenario simulation method could improve their interest and efficiency of learning.Conclusion Scenario simulation method combined with the traditional teaching mode in medical general education can raise students'theory test scores and improve the overall teaching quality;therefore,it is worthy of further popularization in medical general education.
