Analysis of the effects of the combination of PBL and multimedia network teaching model in the preclinical course of image diagnostics

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of the courses of image diagnostics on clinical probation period via the combination of PBL and multimedia network teaching model. Methods 126 under-graduates from the department of medical image (Grade 2011 and 2012) were selected as teaching subjects, and PBL combined with multimedia network teaching was adopted in the teaching of the course of medical imaging diagnosis. After class we implemented a questionnaire survey, and let the students write learning experience. Statistical analysis was conducted by using SSPS 13.0 to reflect the teaching participation in the students' questionnaire and a. summary analysis of the learning experience of the students was also made. Results 123 valid questionnaires were collected. 94.31% (116 people) of students were active participants in these courses, 90.25% (111 people) of the students thought they could actively communicate in teaching, and 43% (110 people) of the students thought they got fully prepared before class. 123 articles in accordance with the requirements of experience were received; most students took positive attitude to the active influence the teaching methods had brought; some student pointed out that the teaching method had the disadvantages such as too much time to prepare, too much information, and so on. Conclusions The com-bination of PBL and multimedia network teaching has preliminary results. It is a novel model that is available for teaching image diagnostics on clinical probation period.
