The efficacy analysis of the case-based learning in the oncology teaching ward round

Abstract

Objective Applying the CBL (Case-based Learning) teaching method to oncology teaching ward round,including case selection criteria establishing,teaching ward round process standardization.Evaluating the implementation effect of CBL teaching method in teaching ward round compared with the traditional LBL (lecture based learning) teaching method.Methods Oncology residents at Shanghai jiao tong university affiliated first people' s hospital were randomly divided into two groups.One group with CBL teaching method,the other group with traditional LBL teaching ward-round and comparing the difference between the two groups.Results Fifty students were admitted to our study with 26 cases in CBL group and 24 cases in LBL group.We examined the basic concept,preliminary diagnosis and treatment level,the ability of analysis question and the overall scores prior to admission,with no difference between the two groups.After oncology clinical training,we evaluated above three aspects again.The mean scores of CBL group were(26.3±2.0)、(35.3±3.3)、(25.5±2.4) and the overall score was (87.0±5.9).The mean scores of LBL group were(25.0±2.8) 、(29.0±3.6) 、(21.8±2.7) 、(75.9± 6.9).The P values were 0.3847,0.0002,0.0001,0.0001 separately.Conclusion The CBL teaching method can significantly improve the students' ability of diagnosis and treatment of diseases,ability of analyzing and resolving problem and overall scores compared with conventional LBL teaching ward round model in the oncology teaching ward round.
