Correlation between Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety and Foreign Language Achievement of Freshman and Teaching Enlightenment: A Case Study of Chinese Medical Students

Anxiety in foreign language study is a kind of situational anxiety, which is called foreign language classroom anxiety(FLCA).It can be classified into three dimensions: communication anxiety, negative evaluation anxiety and test anxiety. In this paper, the Horwitz Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) was conducted on 273 freshmen majoring in medicine in medical colleges by random sampling. The results indicated that there is a significant positive correlation between students' communication anxiety, negative evaluation anxiety and English achievement. When students' communicative and negative evaluation anxiety level is increasing, their English learning achievement will also show an upward trend. On the contrary, students' test anxiety and English learning achievement has significant negative correlation. When students' test anxiety level continues to increase, their corresponding English achievement will show a downward trend. And it was found that communication anxiety accounted for the highest proportion among the three dimensions. Accordingly, this paper proposes some teaching Enlightenments aimed at relieving medical students' anxiety in college English class. This study conducted a preliminary study of specific anxieties present in a foreign language learning classroom. The findings provide evidence to elucidate the characterization of anxiety and its effects.

Cultivation of students' autonomous learning ability in molecular medicine teaching in medical colleges by flipped classroom teaching model

This paper aims to explore a new way to cultivate college students' autonomous learning ability by taking the flipped classroom teaching of molecular medicine in medical colleges as an example. In view of the specific teaching content and characteristics of molecular medicine, we formulated a mixed teaching plan based on flipped classroom. By setting the teaching objectives and tasks beforehand, students were guided to explore and acquire knowledge independently from the abundant teaching resources library. In order to test the effect of students' autonomous learning and expand the cultivation of students' ability of information collection and processing, inquiry initiation, and communication and cooperation, we launched classroom discussions, communications, questions answering and group collaborative research topic-based reports. Through the reform of teaching assessment system, students' autonomous learning status can be effectively monitored to help ensure the implementation of the flipped classroom.

Importantly, the males’ researcher has not only published significantly more than females but also appeared to have significantly more years of research experience. The mean score of research perception was higher among male participants who indicated that they had a more favorable perception of research.CONCLUSION:The study showed that in Sudanese medical colleges significantly higher percentage of men published scientific papers more than women. In addition, the male also had a significantly higher mean score of research perception which indicated that they had a more favorable perception of research.

Discussion on a new opened course combining complexity science and medicine in medical colleges

Complexity science is a new type of scientific research method, and the combination of complexity science, life science, and medicine is still in the initial stage of exploration, and domestic medi-cal colleges do not offer correlative course currently. In order to broaden students' vision, transform their traditional thinking model, and prepare the future of multidisciplinary cooperation, medical colleges should open complexity science and medicine correlative course for senior undergraduate and graduate students. Course content should start by the famous fable infect, followed by the introduction of chaos and fractal, self-organization and complex system theory concept, theoretical framework, and their application in the medical field The teaching material should refer to some popular science books, such as Mystery of the butterfly effect. The teaching method should draw lessons from metaphor. Key words: Complexity science; Medical colleges; Course objective; Course content; Teach-ing method

Landscaping capacity-building initiatives in epidemiology in India: bridging the demand-supply gap.

India, the second most populous country in the world, has 17% of the world's population but its total share of global disease burden is 21%. With epidemiological transition, the challenge of the public health system is to deal with a high burden of noncommunicable diseases, while still continuing the battle against communicable diseases. To combat this progression, public health capacity-building initiatives for the health workforce are necessary to develop essential skills in epidemiology and competencies in other related fields of public health. This study is an effort to systematically explore the training programmes in epidemiology in India and to understand the demand-supply dynamics of epidemiologists in the country. A systematic, predefined approach, with three parallel strategies, was used to collect and assemble the data regarding epidemiology training in India and assess the demand-supply of epidemiologists in the country. The programmes offering training in epidemiology included degree and diploma courses offered by departments of preventive and social medicine/community medicine in medical colleges and 19 long-term academic programmes in epidemiology, with an estimated annual output of 1172 per year. The demand analysis for epidemiologists estimated that there is need for at least 3289 epidemiologists to cater for the demand of various institutions in the country. There is a wide gap in demand-supply of epidemiologists in the country and an urgent need for further strengthening of epidemiology training in India. More capacity-building and training initiatives in epidemiology are therefore urgently required to promote research and address the public health challenges confronting the country.
