Application of the teaching method of case-based learning on the cultivation of ability and quality of the students in regional anatomy teaching

Abstract

Objective Aim to study the efficiency of interactive teaching model in the teaching of regional anatomy. Methods A comparative study was carried out in 120 students enrolled in 2012 in medical undergraduates of Hubei Institute for Nationalities, and they were divided into experimental group and control group, each group contains 60 students. In the experimental group, the case-based learning (CBL) with different cases combined with interactive teaching method were carried out, and in the control group, the traditional teaching methods such as 1ecture-based learning(LBL) was carried out. After class, the teaching effects of the two groups were analyzed by questionnaire survey and theory examination method. Results The scores and learning indexes of the students in experimental group were higher than control group(P<0.01). Conclusions The case-based learning (CBL) with different cases combined with interactive teaching method were useful for regional anatomy studying, it favors the interaction between teachers and students and the practical ability of the students, and it helps to enhance the quality of the students.
