The application of diverseness teaching method in pharmacological teaching

Abstract

Objective To develop the medical students' ability of analysis and solving clinical problems and critical thinking.Methods In Luzhou Medical College,We' ve chosen 105 students of 2007session in clinical medicine major,then randomly divideded them into contrasted class,experimental class 1 and experimental class 2.We accomplished pharmacological teaching by means of lecture-based learning in contrasted class,lecture-based learning problem-based learning in experimental class 1,and lecture-based learning,problem-based learning,simulating doctor-patient scene teaching and prescription analysis in experimental class 2.We evaluated application effect of diverseness teaching method by student learning performance record and examine teacher-student questionnaires investigation in developing the medical students' ability of analysis and solving clinical problems and critical thinking.Results The overall score of students in experimental class 2 was higher than that in experimental class 1,and the overall score of students in experimental class 1 was better than that in control class,and the difference is statistical significance.In experimental class 2,100.0％ students think that the students' ability of analysis and solving clinical problems and prescription were obviously improved by the different teaching method combination.The ability of students' critical thinking was respectively approved by 68.6％ medical students and 50.0％teachers.Conclusions The different teaching method combination is helpful to improve the medical students' ability of analysis and solving clinical problems and critical thinking.
