The multidimension teaching evaluation based on modified CBL: A continuous survey in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Abstract

Abstract Background At the stage of clinical undergraduate education, the effective implementation of basic medicine course is a critical part of ensuring clinical medical practice, and an important prerequisite for promoting the continuity of undergraduate medical education. Modern medical education has also been exploring the effective transition from basic medicine courses to clinical practice. However, despite various means, there is a lack of effective models and assessment methods. This study explores a modified CBL model (mCBL) in an attempt to bridge the transition from basic medical education to clinical practice. Methods In this study, we conducted a controlled study of two classes in clinical specialties, with the control group using traditional blended teaching and the experimental group using BT + mCBL (blended teaching and modified CBL-based teaching). A "three-dimensional progressive" teaching evaluation method was used to assess satisfaction with teaching at three different stages, to compare final and graduation test scores of students. Results Through the three stages of teaching satisfaction evaluation, we found that after the implementation of BT + mCBL method, the experimental class had higher satisfaction than the control group in the three dimensions of "knowledge acquisition, clinical thinking training and comprehensive quality" (P < 0.05). The performance of the experimental class in the final examination was also significantly higher than that of the control group. Compared with the control group, students in the experimental group came up with more and better constructive suggestions for improvement of the teaching model. Conclusion The integration of clinical medicine and biomedical cases in the basic medical curriculum can better bridge theory and practice, promote students' clinical thinking training, and provide students with assistance for future clinical career planning.
