“医学统计学学习平台公众号”在教学中的应用探索

Exploration of WeChat platform for the learning of medical statistics in teaching practice

医学统计学是一门应用型学科,为了巩固理论知识的掌握,学生有必要亲自动手做作业。借助统计学软件完成医学统计学课程学习中的作业,可以使学生集中精力消化、吸收统计学解决问题的独特逻辑,更灵活地运用统计学方法解决实际问题。然而,统计学软件的计算实现涉及细枝末节的规定和设置,完全靠课堂传授是不现实的。为了便于广大医学生和医学研究人员掌握医学统计学中重要方法的应用要点,并在SPSS及SAS软件环境下实现相应的统计学计算,中山大学推出了自主创建的医学统计学学习平台公众号(yxjtx2015)。本文将对该学习平台进行介绍,便于为更广泛的统计学方法使用者带来便利。

Medical statistics is a discipline mainly focused on application.It is necessary for students to fulfill enough assignments in order to grasp the statistical theory well.If statistical software is used when they accomplish the assignments of medical statistics,they may pay more efforts on digesting and absorbing the special logics in statistics instead of only repeating what is taught in class.This will make them experience more on how to solve the practical questions by choosing proper and flexible statistical methods.Since the detailed definitions and options will cost too much time in class,it is not allowed to provide the complete instructions by the lecturer.The teaching team from Sun Yat-sen University established a WeChat platform(yxjtx2015)for students majoring in medical sciences and medical researchers in order to help them to accomplish the statistical computations in the environment of SPSS and SAS,what′s more,to learn well the critical concepts in medical statistics,especially those correlated with important statistical techniques.We introduce the WeChat platform briefly in this article so as to bring convenience for a larger audience who will take medical statistics as tools in their own researches.
