Application of scientific research tutorial system in scientific research learning for medical undergraduates
Objective To investigate the application value of scientific research tutorial system in scientific research education for medical undergraduates.Methods The 2022 five-year clinical medicine graduates of Wenzhou Medical University were divided into 10 groups retrospectively according to their classes,and 5 groups(150 students in total)were randomly selected using the cluster sampling method.Among these 150 students,120 students who met the screening criteria were selected as the study subjects,and they were divided into the experimental group and the control group according to whether they implemented scientific research tutorial system or not.Specifically,50 students who implemented scientific research tutorial system were set as the experimental group;70 students who did not implement scientific research tutorial system were set as the control group.A questionnaire survey was used to compare the differences in academic achievements,scientific research achievements,scientific literacy,and graduation destination between two groups.Results No difference was found in academic achievements between the experimental group and the control group before participating in scientific research(Z=-1.365,P=0.172),while after participating in scientific research the experimental group performed better than the control group in academic achievements(Z=-2.314,P=0.021).Moreover,the experimental group all got better scientific research achievements(publishing academic papers,participating in scientific research projects,winning in scientific research competitions)than control group(x2=23.644,14.445,29.575,respectively,all P<0.05).The experimental group also reflected higher motivation,cognitive ability,skill mastery and satisfaction to research learning when compared to control group(t=9.848,3.794,8.118,6.473,respectively,all P<0.05),while no difference was found in the aspect of scientific research learning efficiency between two groups(t=1.136,P=0.317).Moreover,graduation destination was also better in the experimental group(x2=15.231,P<0.05).Conclusions Scientific research tutorial system may have pivotal application value to scientific research education for medical undergraduates,which will cultivate students'scientific research ability,improve scientific literacy,academic performance and potential of graduation destination,thus promote all-round development of medical research talents.
