During the past decades, the rapid development of modern teaching tools and methods has been observed, and the new teaching module constructed through digitization or networking has been widely used in the field of medical education. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of the online learning combined with case-based discussion (CBD) approach in oral medicine education.
Sixty senior students majoring in stomatology were randomly divided into two groups. One group (new module-based teaching group [NG], n = 30) watched an online teaching video and discussed clinical cases in groups. The control group (traditional lecture-based group [TG], n = 30) was assigned to the traditional lecture-based teaching. Subsequently, a theory assessment was conducted on the topics taught, and the scores of both groups were compared. Feedback about this teaching model was obtained from the NG.
The results showed that students in the NG had significantly better performance in terms of mastering professional knowledge than did students in the TG. Moreover, most students in the NG had a high degree of satisfaction with this new teaching method, as they agreed that it can mobilize their learning enthusiasm and promote their engagement, interaction, and cooperation in the learning of oral medicine.
Our findings indicate the effectiveness and high satisfaction of CBD combined with online learning in the teaching of oral medicine. This study is expected to provide new ideas for improving the dental teaching quality.
在过去几十年中，现代教学工具和方法迅速发展，通过数字化或网络化构建的新教学模块已在医学教育领域广泛应用。本研究旨在探讨在线学习结合基于案例的讨论（CBD）方法在口腔医学教育中的有效性和可接受性。
将60名口腔医学专业高年级学生随机分为两组。一组（新模块教学组[NG]，n = 30）观看在线教学视频并分组讨论临床病例。对照组（传统讲座教学组[TG]，n = 30）采用传统讲座式教学。随后，对所教主题进行理论评估，并比较两组的成绩。从NG组获得了关于这种教学模式的反馈。
结果表明，NG组学生在掌握专业知识方面比TG组学生表现明显更好。此外，NG组的大多数学生对这种新教学方法高度满意，因为他们认为它可以调动他们的学习积极性，并促进他们在口腔医学学习中的参与、互动与合作。
我们的研究结果表明，CBD结合在线学习在口腔医学教学中具有有效性和高度满意度。本研究有望为提高牙科教学质量提供新思路。
