This study analyzed the characteristics of excellent lecturers, as perceived by medical students, and identified the teaching competency that lecturers should possess to enhance the quality of medical education in medical school.
To examine the characteristics of excellent lecturers and teaching competency, we administered open-ended questionnaires to a sample of 128 Year 2 medical students in May 2011.
The students placed high value on the ability to organize and summarize the lecture as the most significant competence of lecturers, due to the massive amounts of information that is disseminated in medical college. Further, they chose lecturers who communicated to students actively and used real clinical cases properly with regard to how medical knowledge applied. They also considered generating an interest in learning by linking knowledge and its application as an important priority of excellent lecturers.
We conclude that there are differences in the characteristics and competencies of excellent lecturers, as perceived by medical students and others. To increase the quality of teaching, it might be necessary to offer the opportunity to observe excellent lecturers, develop faculty development programs, and create educational culture.
本研究分析了医学生所认为的优秀讲师的特点，并确定了讲师为提高医学院校医学教育质量应具备的教学能力。
为了研究优秀讲师的特点和教学能力，我们于2011年5月对128名二年级医学生进行了开放式问卷调查。
由于医学院校传播的信息量巨大，学生们高度重视讲师组织和总结讲座内容的能力，认为这是讲师最重要的能力。此外，在医学知识的应用方面，他们选择那些能与学生积极沟通并恰当运用真实临床案例的讲师。他们还认为，通过将知识与应用相联系来激发学习兴趣是优秀讲师的一个重要优先事项。
我们得出结论，医学生和其他人所认为的优秀讲师的特点和能力存在差异。为了提高教学质量，可能有必要提供观摩优秀讲师的机会，开展教师发展项目，并营造教育文化氛围。
