Student interest and perception of ethical reasoning learning: Insights from medical education.

Medical ethics teaching is one of the pillars of medical education. Ethical reasoning learning (ERL) is one of the means of teaching medical ethics. The aim of our study was to evaluate the pedagogical interest and the students' perceptions of ERL in directed teaching in internal medicine among fifth-year students. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Internal Medicine Department of Habib Thameur Hospital during one academic year. The pedagogical interest and the student's perception were evaluated by comparing a pre-test and a post-test filled in by the students, respectively, before and after an ERL session. Our study included 44 students. Before the ERL session, almost two-thirds of the students (63.6%) found the ERL to be "extremely interesting" in medical training and practice. This extremely high level of educational interest in the ERL was statistically associated with previous participation in ERL sessions among our students. Prior to the ERL session, just over four-fifths of the students (84.1%) had a "favourable" perception of the ERL. After the ERL session, our study noted an improvement in students' pedagogical interest in ERL. Our study also showed an improvement in students' perceptions of the ERL. The improvement in students' pedagogical interest and perception of ERL exceeded 80% after the session. Our study concluded that there was a significant pedagogical interest and a favourable perception of the students' point of view regarding the ERL in internal medicine- directed teaching among fifth-year medical students.

Application of Video Game Algorithm Based on Deep Q-Network Learning in Music Rhythm Teaching

The difficulty of music rhythm teaching makes its teaching effect limited. Some game algorithms show problems of stuttery and unclear picture when they are introduced into teaching, which greatly restricts the development of teaching content. Therefore, it is proposed to activate the deep Q network and improve the filter to improve the processing performance of game image data and the integrity of information retention. The model fuses the extracted features and processes them through the neural network. According to the performance characteristics and forms of music rhythm, constant Q transformation, dynamic programming algorithm and hidden Markov model are proposed to analyze and design music signal, beat point analysis and signal traveling speed, so as to realize the identification and matching of music rhythm. The performance test and application analysis of the proposed fusion improvement algorithm are carried out: the video game algorithm can effectively extract data feature information, and its accuracy rate is basically 90% or above. The improved Deep Q-network (DQN) and Artificial Fish Swarms Algorithm (AFSA) algorithms can maintain an accuracy of over 75%, followed by the ABC algorithm, which maintains an accuracy of over 70%, but exhibits significant fluctuations in the curve changes and nodes. The recognition accuracy of music signal feature extraction is over 70%, and it is less affected by signal-to-noise ratio. The improved activation function showed that the highest game score exceeded 10 points, while the scores of Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) function and Hyperbolic tangent function (Tanh) function were basically hovering below 5 points, and the overall score curve fluctuated significantly. The recognition accuracy of music signal features extraction is above 70% and is less affected by Signal to Noise Ratio. The algorithm has a good effect of music rhythm teaching, the students' interest in classroom learning is more than 45%, and the learning weakness is less. The average score of students in music style judgment, rhythm division and index is 85 points and 90 points respectively, which is much higher than the 40 points and 63 points of traditional teaching. The proposed algorithm can better combine video games with music teaching and help students improve their learning effect under the gamification teaching method, and has good application value
