Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of pathophysiology case-based learning(CBL)method on scores of pediatrics.Methods Undergraduates from 2005 grade at Chengde medical college were divided into two groups:experimental group(n=138,CBL method)and control group(n=136,conventional teaching method).The scores of pediatrics between the two groups were compared.The pediatrics test paper was divided into two types:type B,which was tightly connected with the pathophysiology knowledge and type F,which had less connection with pathophysiology knowledge.The accuracy rates of both groups were compared.Correlation analysis on scores between pathophysiology and internal medicine,surgery,pediatrics,obstetircs and gynaecology was made.Results No significant difference in total scores of pediatrics was observed between the two groups(P＞0.05);total accuracy rate of experimental group was higher than that of control group(P＞0.05);similar total accuracy rates of type F test paper were observed in both groups(P＞0.05);positive correlations in scores between pathophysiology and internal medicine,surgery,pediatrics,obstetircs and gynaecology were found.Conclusions Satisfactory long-term effect are received by applying pathophysiological CBL model since it can promote the application of pathophysiological knowledge in pediatrics,however,no apparent effect on students'clinical ability can be obtained from the mere application of CBL in pathophysiology course.
