Research on the effectiveness of the dual-track teaching method combining PBL and CBL in obstetrics and gynecology teaching
Objective To explore the effectiveness of a dual-track teaching method combining problem-based learning(PBL)and case-based learning(CBL)in obstetrics and gynecology teaching.Methods A total of 80 medical students who interned in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University from August 2022 to August 2023 were selected and grouped using a digital random table method.The control group(40 students)received traditional teaching methods,while the observation group(40 students)received dual-track teaching methods combining PBL and CBL.The self-learning ability,academic performance,clinical thinking,and satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results The evaluation scale score of learning initiative in the observation group was higher than that in the control group at the time of exit,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);the theoretical knowledge and skill operation scores of the observation group at the time of exit were higher than those of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05),the clinical thinking ability evaluation scale scores of medical students in the observation group were higher than those in the control group at the time of exit,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05),the satisfaction rate of medical students in the observation group towards the internship process was 97.50%,which was higher than 80.00%in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the dual-track teaching method combining PBL and CBL in clinical obstetrics and gynecology teaching can further enhance the self-learning ability of medical students,effectively improve their academic performance and clinical thinking,and the medical students have a high level of satisfaction with the internship process.
