电子概念图在医学微生物学教学中的应用

Application of electronic concept maps in the teaching of Medical Microbiology

研究电子概念图对提高医学微生物学教学效果的作用。设计实验组和对照组,实验组完成电子概念图练习,填写问卷表,与对照组一起参加闭卷考试;用社会科学统计软件包(Statistical package for the social sciences,SPSS)分析闭卷考成绩,讨论、评价问卷答案。在练习过程中,教师制作概念图脚手架,学生完成作业后,教师再提供反馈意见。两组闭卷考试总分和名词解释等得分有明显差异;调查问卷提示,实验组多数学生认为电子概念图有利于提高理解记忆力。概念图反映大脑的思考过程,展示发散性思维。概念图可提高实验组学生的《医学微生物学》成绩,是医学教学的有力助手。

The effect of electronic concept maps on promoting the teaching of Medical Microbiology was investigated. The students were divided into two groups, test and control groups. The test group was required to accomplish the electronic concept maps and questionnaire, then took the same closed-book exam with the control group. The students’ test scores were analyzed by SPSS （solutions statistical package for the social sciences） and the completed questionnaire were discussed and evaluated. In the course of the study, teachers made the scaffolds of the concept maps and the students in the test group completed the mappings on them, and the teacher gave feedbacks afterwards. Significant difference in the total scores and the scores of term explanation was found between two groups. The results of the questionnaire showed that most of the test group students thought that the electronic concept maps were helpful to promote their understanding and memory. Concept maps reveal the thinking process of human brain, and show the divergent thought. Therefore, concept maps can improve the understanding and the scores in Medical Microbiology studies and are a powerful assistant in Medicine teaching.
