Teaching innovation based on the technology of digital orthopedic in orthopedic clinical teaching for eight-year program medical students

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of teaching mode innovation based on the technology of digital orthopedic in orthopedic clinical teaching for eight-year program medical students. Methods 40 eight-year program medical students who took part in orthopedic clinical trainee in the 2015 school year were chosen and divided into two groups: traditional teaching group and digital technology teaching group. The digital technology teaching group adopted a digital model of orthopedic technology, printing aids, use of auxiliary aids and simulate actual cases operative teaching while another group used traditional teaching. After the novitiate, questionnaire investigations were used to evaluate the effect of the orthopedic clinical teaching in both groups. At the same time an examination after the course was used to examine the teaching effect of the two groups, and SPSS 19.0 software was used to do chisquare test and t test to the result of the examination of both groups. Results Compared with the traditional teaching group students, the digital technology teaching group students more agreed with the new teaching mode for their interest in learning and hands-on ability bring positive influence (P<0.05), overall satisfaction of teaching method was significantly higher (P=0.03). The operation examination result [(92.1±9.1) vs. (70.5±9.6)] and the comprehensive examination result (84.6±10.1) vs. (72.3± 10.6)were more outstanding, the t test showed that the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Teaching mode innovation based on the technology of digital orthopedic in eight-year program medical students has showed obvious advantages in orthopedic clinical teaching, which can stimulate students' interest in learning, improve the teaching effect and have broad application prospects in orthopedic clinical teaching.
