We have evaluated the students' response to the practical teaching sessions in Clinical Anatomy in our Medical School using an action-research method. The aim was to identify problems and to introduce changes that might improve both the program and the performance of the teaching staff. At the end of each section of the program, each student completed a "target type" questionnaire with eight different components. As each one quarter of the whole class had its own teacher, we used an analysis of variance to evaluate the target questions in the various sections of the program, and the performance of the four teachers. This research method gave us feedback on the students' responses while the program was in progress. The results emphasize the importance of action-research in assessing and improving a developing program in a basic discipline of the medical curriculum.
我们采用行动研究法,评估了我校医学院学生对临床解剖学实践教学课程的反应。目的是找出问题,并引入可能改善课程及教师教学表现的变革。在课程的每个部分结束时,每位学生都要完成一份包含八个不同部分的“目标型”问卷。由于全班四分之一的学生由各自的教师授课,我们使用方差分析来评估课程各部分的目标问题以及四位教师的教学表现。这种研究方法在课程进行期间为我们提供了有关学生反应的反馈。结果强调了行动研究在评估和改进医学课程基础学科中正在发展的课程方面的重要性。
