Preliminary Exploration of PCMC Mixed Teaching in Medical Imaging Education
Objective:To implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a blended online and offline teaching model in undergraduate medical imaging education.Methods:Three classes of clinical medical imaging students from Xinjiang Medical University,class of 2017,were selected and divided into three groups:traditional teaching group,PCMC group,and mixed teaching group,with 30 students in each group.The traditional teaching group used multimedia presentations for imaging manifestations of diseases.The PCMC group formed study teams via an online platform.The mixed teaching group included both online and offline classroom components.Assessments were conducted after the course.Results:The mixed teaching group achieved significantly higher average scores in theoretical knowledge,practical skills,and clinical reasoning compared to the traditional teaching group(P<0.05).Satisfaction with knowledge mastery and integration was higher in the mixed teaching group compared to the traditional group(P<0.0125).Satisfaction with teaching methods and improvement in learning efficiency were also higher in the mixed teaching group and the PCMC group compared to the traditional group,with significant differences(P<0.0125).Conclusion:The online and offline blended teaching model aligns with the trends of new medical education reforms and enhances the comprehensive quality of imaging students.
