Construction and application of a mixed-reality distance teaching model in neurosurgery
Objective To explore the application effects of a neurosurgical mixed-reality distance teaching(NMDT)model in standardized residency training in neurosurgery.Methods We built an NMDT system using mixed-reality technology and remote interaction technology,and designed the implementation procedure according to the teaching objectives.After the teaching activities were completed,a teaching satisfaction questionnaire survey was conducted among 20 neurosurgery resident trainees,in which they provided satisfaction scores for the same teaching content with different teaching models(i.e.,the NMDT model and traditional teaching model).SPSS 22.0 software was used to perform the t test for data analysis.Results There were significant differences between the NMDT model and the traditional teaching model in key indicators including the score for"completion of teaching objectives"(9.20±0.68 vs.8.25±0.70,P<0.001)and the score for"satisfaction with learning gains"score(8.95±0.67 vs.8.05±0.92,P=0.001).The NMDT model also outperformed the traditional teaching model in the other individual scores and the total score.Conclusions The NMDT model can improve teaching quality,increase training efficiency,and enrich teaching content,which is worthy of promotion.
