To examine teachers' views of the first batch of graduates of a revised medical curriculum in Asia.
A cross-sectional study using a structured questionnaire was carried out to obtain the views of all the clinical teachers involved in teaching final year students of the old curriculum in 2000-01 and the new curriculum in 2001-02 at the University of Hong Kong, which commenced curricular reform in 1997.
Nearly 62% of respondents felt that better graduates were being produced with the new curriculum. The majority of them rated the new curriculum students better in nearly all the major goals of the new curriculum, such as self-directed learning initiative, problem solving skills, interpersonal skills and clinical performance in patient care. However, the core knowledge of the new curriculum students was of concern to some teachers.
This study focused on the first complete cycle of a revised medical curriculum in Asia. Teachers' views of the new curriculum students were highly positive and they felt that better graduates were being produced.
探讨亚洲一所修订后的医学课程的首批毕业生在教师眼中的情况。
采用结构化问卷进行横断面研究,以获取参与香港大学2000 - 01学年旧课程以及2001 - 02学年新课程最后一年学生教学的所有临床教师的看法。香港大学于1997年开始课程改革。
近62%的受访者认为新课程培养出了更优秀的毕业生。他们中的大多数人在新课程的几乎所有主要目标方面,如自主学习主动性、解决问题的能力、人际交往能力以及患者护理中的临床表现,对新课程的学生评价更高。然而,一些教师对新课程学生的核心知识表示担忧。
本研究聚焦于亚洲一所修订后的医学课程的首个完整周期。教师对新课程学生的看法非常积极,他们认为培养出了更优秀的毕业生。
