团队自主学习模式在《流行病学》课程教学中的应用初探

A Pilot Investigation on the Application of Team-Based Autonomous Learning Model in the Teaching of Epidemiology

目的:探讨团队自主学习模式在《流行病学》课程教学中的应用效果。方法:本研究以中山大学公共卫生学院2018级医学本科生(试验组20人;对照组69人)为研究对象。对照组采用传统《流行病学》课程教学模式,试验组在传统教学模式基础上,构建团队自主学习模式。通过对比两组学生平时成绩、期末成绩及总评成绩和收集学生对自身综合素质提高及教学满意度等信息评价团队自主学习模式的实施效果。结果:试验组学生三项成绩均数均高于对照组,但差异未达到统计学意义(p > 0.05)。大多数学生(75%)对团队自主学习模式的学习效果持肯定态度,认为该教学模式值得进一步推广应用。结论:团队自主学习模式对提高学生《流行病学》课程学习效果有一定作用。未来需要更多研究以证实其效果。

Objective: To investigate the application effects of team-based autonomous learning model in the teaching of Epidemiology. Methods: This study enrolled medical undergraduates who entered School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University in 2018 (experimental group, n = 20;control group, n = 69). The control group adopted the traditional teaching model of Epidemiology, while the ex-perimental group constructed the team autonomous learning model on the basis of the traditional teaching model. The application effect of team-based autonomous learning model was evaluated by comparing the usual scores, final scores, and total scores of the two groups of students, and collect-ing the information on students’ comprehensive quality improvement and teaching satisfaction. Results: The scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, though the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Most students (75%) held a positive attitude towards the effects of team-based learning model in the teaching of epidemiology, and believed that this teaching model was worthy of further promotion and application. Conclusions: Team-based autonomous learning model has a certain effect on improving students’ learning effect of Epidemiology course. Further investigations are needed to confirm our results.
