虚拟现实技术在西医院校针灸学教学中的应用探索

Application and exploration of virtual reality technology in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion in Western medicine colleges

目的观察虚拟现实(VR)技术在西医院校针灸学教学中的应用效果。方法将华中科技大学同济医学院2016级和2017级共24名中西医结合临床专业学生按随机数字表法分为VR教学组和对照组,每组各12名学生。对照组采用传统教学模式进行授课,VR教学组采用VR技术教学模式进行授课,两组均授课6个课时。教学结束后分别从激发学习兴趣、提升学习效率、参与课堂互动、掌握理论知识、提高实践能力、培养自学能力、扩展学习思路和教学满意度等方面对两组学生进行问卷调查及随堂测验,并对基础知识进行笔试考核,比较两组教学方法的教学效果。结果VR教学组在激发学习兴趣、参与课堂互动、提高实践能力及教学满意度方面比例高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组在提升学习效率、掌握理论知识、培养自学能力及扩展学习思路方面比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。VR教学组随堂测试合格率高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组理论考核成绩比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论VR技术运用于针灸学教学有利于提高学生学习兴趣,增强学习积极性,提高课堂学习效果,对学生理论知识的掌握和实践能力的提高有一定帮助,特别对于西医院校学生学习针灸学课程能够发挥积极的作用。

Objective To observe the application effect of virtual reality(VR)technology in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion in Western medicine colleges.Methods Total of 24 students of grade 2016 and 2017 in Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were divided into VR teaching group and control group according to the random number table method,with 12 students in each group.The traditional teaching mode was used in control group,while VR technology teaching mode was used in VR teaching group.Both groups had six class hours.After the end of teaching,questionnaire survey and classroom test were carried out on two groups of students from the aspects of stimulating learning interest,improving learning efficiency,participating in classroom interaction,mastering theoretical knowledge,improving practical ability,cultivating self-learning ability,expanding learning ideas and teaching satisfaction.And the basic knowledge of written examination was implemented.The teaching effects of teaching methods of two groups were compared.Results The proportions of VR teaching group in stimulating learning interest,participating in classroom interaction,improving practical ability and teaching satisfaction were higher than those of control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between two groups in improving learning efficiency,mastering theoretical knowledge,cultivating self-learning ability and expanding learning thought(P>0.05).The pass rate of classroom test in VR teaching group was higher than that in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between two groups of theoretical examination results(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of VR technology in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion is conducive to improve students′learning interest,enhance their enthusiasm for learning,improve the effect of classroom learning,and help students to master theoretical knowledge and improve their practical ability.In particular,it can play a positive role for students in Western medicine colleges to learn the course of acupuncture and moxibustion.
