Abstract
BackgroundProcess-based teaching is a new education model. SPARK case database is a free medical imaging case database. This manuscript aimed to explore the application of the process-based teaching based on SPARK case database in the practice teaching of radiology in the musculoskeletal system.Methods117 third year medical students were included. They were divided into Group A, B, C and D according to the curriculum arrangement. Group A and B attended the experimental class at the same time, A was the experimental group, B was the control group. Group C and D attended experimental classes at the same time, C was the experimental group, D was the control group. The experimental group used SPARK case database, while the control group used traditional teaching model for learning. The four groups of students were respectively tested after the theoretical class, before the experimental class, after the experimental class, and one week after the experimental class to compare the results. Finally, all students used SPARK case database to study, and were tested one month after the experimental class to compare their differences.ResultsThe scores after the theoretical class of Group A and B were (100.0 ± 25.4), (101.0 ± 23.8)(t=-0.160, P > 0.05), Group C and D were (94.7 ± 23.7), (92.1 ± 18.6)(t = 0.467, P > 0.05). The scores of Group A and B before and after the experimental class and one week after the experimental class were respectively (84.1 ± 17.4), (72.1 ± 21.3)(t = 2.363, P < 0.05), (107.6 ± 14.3), (102.1 ± 18.0)(t = 1.292, P > 0.05), (89.7 ± 24.3), (66.6 ± 23.2)(t = 3.706, P < 0.05). The scores of Group C and D were (94.0 ± 17.3), (72.8 ± 25.5)(t = 3.755, P < 0.05), (107.3 ± 20.3), (93.1 ± 20.9)(t = 2.652, P < 0.05), (100.3 ± 19.7), (77.2 ± 24.0)(t = 4.039, P < 0.05). The scores of Group A and B for one month after the experimental class were (86.6 ± 28.8), (84.5 ± 24.0)(t = 0.297, P > 0.05), and Group C and D were (95.7 ± 20.3), (91.7 ± 23.0)(t = 0.699, P > 0.05).ConclusionsThe process-based teaching based on SPARK case database could improve the radiology practice ability of the musculoskeletal system of students.
