Computer-based teaching and learning are getting more and more important in medical education. To integrate this type of training into the curricula, medical faculties must provide supervised computer labs. The present study was conducted to evaluate the acceptance and efficiency of the student-organised concept of computer labs established at the Charité Hospital in Berlin.
An electronic online questionnaire comprising 25 items was distributed to all users of the two computer labs at the Charité to ask their opinions about the quality of the student-organised concept and their satisfaction with the working conditions in the labs and to compare them longitudinally with the results obtained 4 years ago.
A total of 1275 users worked in the labs during the survey period and 702 answered the questionnaire (return rate: 55.1%). The users assigned good to very good ratings to different components of the concept with student self-administration and helpfulness of the student tutors achieving the highest rating (both 1.5 +/- 0.7). In the longitudinal study no component of the concept was rated worse in the current questionnaire, whereas the opening hours were assigned significantly higher ratings than 4 years ago (1.6 +/- 0.8 vs. 2 +/- 0.9; p < 0.001). Over 20% of all users stated they would be interested in actively participating as tutors in the project. Students used the computer labs for a mean of 3.1 hours per week. The support of students working on a voluntary basis allowed for weekly opening hours of the labs of 146 hours with the personnel expenditure costs that would be necessary for the position of one faculty member.
The good to excellent ratings, the high acceptance by users, and the low costs of the project presented here suggest that this student initiative can be recommended to other medical faculties to serve as a basis for integration of computer-based education into the curriculum.
在医学教育中,基于计算机的教学正变得越来越重要。为将此类培训纳入课程,医学院校必须提供有监督的计算机实验室。本研究旨在评估柏林夏里特医院设立的由学生组织的计算机实验室概念的接受度和效率。
向夏里特医院两个计算机实验室的所有用户发放了一份包含25个项目的电子在线问卷,询问他们对学生组织概念的质量看法、对实验室工作条件的满意度,并将结果与4年前纵向比较。
在调查期间,共有1275名用户在实验室工作,702人回答了问卷(回复率:55.1%)。用户对该概念的不同组成部分给予了良好到非常好的评价,学生自我管理和学生导师的帮助得分最高(均为1.5±0.7)。在纵向研究中,当前问卷中该概念的任何组成部分评分都没有变差,而开放时间的评分显著高于4年前(1.6±0.8对2±0.9;p<0.001)。超过20%的用户表示有兴趣作为导师积极参与该项目。学生平均每周使用计算机实验室3.1小时。学生自愿提供的支持使得实验室每周开放146小时,人员支出成本仅相当于一名教员职位所需成本。
此处呈现的良好到优秀的评分、用户的高接受度以及项目的低成本表明,这一学生倡议可推荐给其他医学院校,作为将基于计算机的教育纳入课程的基础。
