To examine the application and effects of virtual scenario simulation combined with problem-based learning (PBL) in teaching paediatric medical students.
Participants were 300 paediatric medical students randomly divided into a study group and control group. Students in the study group were taught using virtual scenario simulation combined with PBL; students in the control group were taught using conventional teaching methods. Academic performance, knowledge of paediatrics, self-evaluation of comprehensive ability and degree of learning satisfaction were evaluated.
Students in the study group showed considerably higher academic performance and noticeably higher classroom performance. Paediatric knowledge, comprising initiating communication, collecting information, giving information, understanding the paediatric patient and concluding communication, was higher for students in the study group. The degree of learning satisfaction was higher for students in the study group.
Virtual scenario simulation combined with PBL can effectively improve students' academic performance, mastery of paediatric knowledge, comprehensive ability evaluation and learning satisfaction. The broader application of this approach should be explored for medical student education.
探讨虚拟情景模拟结合以问题为基础学习(PBL)在儿科医学生教学中的应用和效果。
将 300 名儿科医学生随机分为研究组和对照组。研究组采用虚拟情景模拟结合 PBL 教学,对照组采用传统教学方法。评估学生的学业成绩、儿科学知识、综合能力自评和学习满意度。
研究组学生的学业成绩明显提高,课堂表现也明显提高。研究组学生在沟通启动、信息收集、信息提供、理解儿科患者和沟通总结等方面的儿科学知识更高。研究组学生的学习满意度更高。
虚拟情景模拟结合 PBL 可以有效提高学生的学业成绩、儿科学知识掌握程度、综合能力评价和学习满意度。应探索该方法在医学生教育中的更广泛应用。
