Abstract
Objective
To explore the effect of Internet plus problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogy in clinical teaching of orthopedics.
Method
A total of 40 orthopedic residents (junior, first-year graduate students) were selected as the research object. They were randomly divided into two groups. For group A, traditional teaching method was adopted, there were 11 males and 9 females, aged from 22 to 24 years, with an average of 23.15 years. For group B, Internet plus PBL pedagogy was adopted, there were 10 males and 10 females, aged from 22 to 24 years, with an average of 23.45 years. After the teaching, all participants were evaluated on the theoretical knowledge and practical operation of Orthopedics. At the end of the examination, all participants filled out a teaching satisfaction questionnaire.
Results
The scores of theoretical knowledge examination in group A and group B were 75.2 ± 14.3 and 79.3 ± 14.7, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The scores of clinical practice skill examination in group A and group B were 75.4 ± 8.12 and 79.8 ± 8.07, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with group A, the questionnaire satisfaction of residents in group B was significantly higher (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Internet plus PBL pedagogy can significantly improve the learning interest and learning efficiency of students in clinical teaching of Orthopedics, excavating students' interests and hobbies and autonomous learning ability, and effectively improving students' mastery of theoretical knowledge and skill operation, which is worthy of promotion.
