Practice of case-based PBL teaching model in clinical immunology and laboratory teaching

Abstract

Objective To train medical students' competence of independent thinking and problem solving and to improve the quality of teaching.Methods The case-based PBL teaching model was introduced to teaching practice for 25 undergraduates majoring in medical laboratory.The teaching process included pre-class mobilization,question,self-study,discussion and summary.Effectiveness of teaching was evaluated with questionnaire.Results For these medical students,the enthusiasm of learning ( 83.3％ ),ability of self-learning and information seeking ( 79.2％ ),ability of discussing and problem solving ( 79.2％ ),ability of scientific thinking and clinical reasoning ( 79.2％ ) were significantly improved.Teaching satisfaction rate of case-based PBL teaching model was up to 95.8％.Conclusion Better results of teaching were achieved and the case-based PBL teaching model is worth spreading.
