New teaching methods such as e-learning, are increasingly used to support common methods such as lectures, seminars and practical training in universities providing education in veterinary medicine. In the current study, the acceptance of e-learning in the example of the CASUS system by veterinarians as well as students of veterinary medicine of all German-speaking universities was analyzed. Material und methods: For this purpose an online evaluation questionnaire was developed. Members of the target groups were informed by e-mail and references in professional journals, as well as through veterinarian exchange platforms on the internet. Additionally, 224 students' final anatomy marks were compared and correlated to the utilization of CASUS to gain an important insight for the development of new teaching practices in the teaching of veterinary medicine.
In total 1581 questionnaires were evaluated. A good acceptance regarding new teaching practices was found, although the classical textbook is still the most important instrument for imparting knowledge. The degree of utilization of e-learning strongly depends on its integration into the teaching content. CASUS is regarded as an efficient teaching method, with over 90% of the respondents indicating a strong desire to expand the number of case studies. Due to the present low degree of integration into the teaching content, no significant correlation could be found between the utilization of anatomy case studies and the final anatomy mark. However, based on their subjective perception, the students reported a high level of success in their study results with the likely effect of supporting increasing self-assurance in the situation of examinations.
With the help of e-learning, educational objectives can be achieved that are not attainable by traditional teaching methods, e.g. the review of individual improvements by using the integrated feedback-function of e-learning programs. However, e-learning is not able to completely replace current teaching practices and hence should be considered as an additional element in future teaching models.
诸如电子学习等新的教学方法越来越多地被用于辅助传统教学方法，如大学兽医学教育中的讲座、研讨会和实践培训。在本研究中，以CASUS系统为例，分析了德语区所有大学的兽医和兽医学专业学生对电子学习的接受程度。
为此开发了一份在线评估问卷。通过电子邮件、专业期刊参考文献以及互联网上的兽医交流平台通知目标群体成员。此外，比较了224名学生的期末解剖学成绩，并将其与CASUS的使用情况相关联，以获得兽医学教学中新教学实践发展的重要见解。
共评估了1581份问卷。尽管传统教科书仍是传授知识的最重要工具，但对新教学实践的接受度良好。电子学习的使用程度很大程度上取决于其与教学内容的整合情况。CASUS被视为一种有效的教学方法，超过90%的受访者表示强烈希望增加案例研究的数量。由于目前与教学内容的整合程度较低，解剖学案例研究的使用与期末解剖学成绩之间未发现显著相关性。然而，基于主观感受，学生们报告称在学习成绩方面取得了很高的成功，这可能有助于增强考试时的自信心。
借助电子学习，可以实现传统教学方法无法达到的教育目标，例如通过使用电子学习程序的综合反馈功能来回顾个人的进步。然而，电子学习无法完全取代当前的教学实践，因此应被视为未来教学模式中的一个附加元素。
