Abstract:
We investigated intrinsic and extrinsic training methods and their effects on performance and learning among total number moxibustion students. The group of self-taught students learned moxa-cone preparation and use by using an instrument to measure moxa burning temperature and time and evaluating their own performance. And the other group of students learning from teacher learned by having their performance evaluated by a teacher without the use of the instrument.
While there was no difference in performance between two groups, comparison of subjective student self-reports indicates that self-evaluation with the use of instrument provides greater subjective confidence of having learned.
Conclusion: “Deepening in quality of practical training in moxibustion” corresponds to “provides greater subjective confidence of having learned”.
