A solid understanding of basic sciences is a prerequisite for successful completion of medical education. Therefore, it is essential to improve the quality of teaching and to ensure the applicability of basic sciences. Based on practical experiences and previous research, we developed an innovative step-by-step concept, called ENHANCE, for the implementation or revision of teaching units, especially for basic sciences. We used comparative self-assessment gains, a questionnaire to assess teaching quality as well as end-of-semester evaluations (students' satisfaction and open-ended questions) to evaluate the ENHANCE concept. It was found that ENHANCE-based teaching units were related to increased students' satisfaction, high attendance rates and that restructuring the course curriculum yielded in a positive assessment of teaching effectiveness. The revised courses were rated as the very best of all classes in several semesters. Qualitative data showed that students particularly appreciated the level of comprehension and how helpful the courses were for the understanding and preparation of the regular curriculum.
扎实的基础科学知识是医学教育取得成功的前提。因此,提高教学质量并确保基础科学的适用性至关重要。基于实践经验和以往的研究,我们开发了一种创新的分步概念,称为 ENHANCE,用于实施或修改教学单元,特别是基础科学。我们使用比较自我评估收益、评估教学质量的问卷以及学期末评估(学生满意度和开放式问题)来评估 ENHANCE 概念。结果发现,基于 ENHANCE 的教学单元与学生满意度的提高、高出席率有关,并且课程结构的调整产生了对教学效果的积极评估。在几个学期中,修订后的课程被评为所有课程中最好的课程。定性数据显示,学生特别赞赏理解水平以及课程对理解和准备常规课程的帮助程度。
