Team-based learning (TBL) is increasingly being used in medical and medically-related courses. The aim of this study was to evaluate student responses to a TBL-based course in medical informatics at the Sultan Qaboos University, Oman.
A total of 11 TBL sessions were run during a 14-week semester of the Medical Informatics II course at SQU. An online student evaluation was performed in week 13 of the course.
Of the 108 students on the course, 96 (88.9%) of the students responded to the survey. For the most part, the students regarded TBL favourably, and derived great benefit from the TBL sessions. Cultural norms, however, appear to have impacted negatively on the females' experience of the TBL sessions.
TBL's benefits in the medical informatics course were recognised by the students. In such an environment, however, facilitators will have to bear in mind and continually address cultural issues.
基于团队的学习(TBL)在医学及与医学相关的课程中使用得越来越频繁。本研究的目的是评估阿曼苏丹卡布斯大学医学信息学专业学生对基于TBL的课程的反应。
在SQU医学信息学II课程为期14周的学期中,共进行了11次TBL课程。在课程的第13周进行了在线学生评估。
该课程的108名学生中,有96名(88.9%)学生回复了调查。在很大程度上,学生对TBL持积极态度,并从TBL课程中受益匪浅。然而,文化规范似乎对女性参与TBL课程的体验产生了负面影响。
学生认识到TBL在医学信息学课程中的益处。然而,在这样的环境中,教师必须牢记并持续解决文化问题。
