Application Research of the CBL+PBL Dual-Track Teaching Method on the Teaching of TCM Internal Medicine for Undergraduate Students
Objective To explore the effect of case-based learning(CBL)+problem-based learning(PBL)dual-track teaching method on the improvement of clinical application ability and diagnosis and treatment thinking ability of TCM undergraduate students in internal science courses.Methods From September 2020 to July 2021,a total of 82 students were selected from two classes of Chinese medicine undergraduate students of grade 2018,and they were randomly assigned to 42 students in the study group and 40 students in the control group.The research group was subjected to the CBL+PBL dual-track teaching method,while the control group was subjected to the conventional lecture-based learning(LBL)method.Both groups were provided with the same teaching materials,content,and instructors.At the end of the semester,the teaching was evaluated through theoretical examinations and survey questionnaires for both groups.Results The study group was superior to the control group in improving learning effect,cultivating clinical thinking,improving learning interest,cultivating students'independent learning,cultivating innovative and divergent thinking,cultivating analysis and problem solving ability,literature review ability,teamwork ability,interesting teaching mode and satisfaction with teaching methods,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistical significance in the mastery of basic knowledge,the improvement of communication and expression ability,and the clarity of teaching objectives between the two groups(P>0.05).The theoretical knowledge score,clinical case score and total score of the study group were higher than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The CBL+PBL dual-track teaching method is suitable for the teaching of internal medicine TCM,which can effectively improve students'ability to master knowledge,improve students'ability to solve problems,clinical thinking and autonomous learning,and can be popularized and applied in the teaching reform of undergraduate courses.
