Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of applying peer-assisted learning (PAL) combined with modular teaching in physiology education, and to explore a more suitable mode for physiology teaching and learning.Methods:We selected a total of 89 undergraduate medical students of grade 2022 from a university offering physiology courses from February 28 to June 30, 2022. They were assigned using a random number table into experimental class (44 students) and control class (45 students). The experimental class adopted PAL with modular teaching, while the control class adopted the online and offline hybrid teaching method. The two classes were compared for teaching effects in terms of the completion rate of task points, final assessment scores, and questionnaire results. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform the independent samples t-test and the chi-square test. Results:The final exam scores for the objective questions of the experimental class and the control class were (43.04±3.25) and (40.24±8.64), respectively; the scores for the subjective items were (44.49±2.80) and (39.21±5.71), respectively; and the total scores were (87.53±4.24) and (79.40±12.08), respectively, all with significant differences between the two classes. There were significant differences in students' learning autonomy, micro-video preview rate, problem discussion participation rate, unit self-test participation rate, and after-class homework completion rate. The questionnaire survey showed that students in the experimental class believed that this teaching model was helpful for improving students' comprehensive qualities.Conclusions:PAL combined with modular teaching can effectively improve physiology teaching effects and students' learning autonomy and comprehensive abilities.
