To compare the digital method and the conventional method of teaching surgical pathology to medical students.
A prospective case-control study was conducted on second-year students during the period of August 20, 2022, through January 15, 2023. Students, divided into two groups of 45 each, were taught surgical pathology via both conventional and digital methods. Four specimens and four slides were taught in total to the same set of students. A pre-test and a post-test were used to evaluate students' performance and the impact of the teaching method. The answers were analyzed using a paired t-test. In the end, students' responses were obtained regarding their views on a better method of teaching on a Likert scale.
To study gross pathology, 50.7% of students were in favor of the digital method, and 21% were not in favor. For the microscopic examination of tissues, 56.92% of students were in favor of the digital method, and 15% were not in favor. There was a significant increase in post-test scores (12.54-9.79 = 2.75, p=0.007) when digital methods for teaching surgical pathology were applied.
The Likert scale demonstrated that the digital method of teaching surgical pathology not only improved student performance but also resulted in a better understanding of the subject.
比较向医学生教授外科病理学的数字教学法和传统教学法。
于2022年8月20日至2023年1月15日对二年级学生进行了一项前瞻性病例对照研究。将学生分成两组，每组45人，分别通过传统方法和数字方法教授外科病理学。向同一组学生总共讲授四个标本和四张玻片。采用预测试和后测试来评估学生的表现以及教学方法的影响。使用配对t检验分析答案。最后，通过李克特量表获得学生对更好教学方法的看法。
对于大体病理学的学习，50.7%的学生支持数字教学法，21%的学生不支持。对于组织的显微镜检查，56.92%的学生支持数字教学法，15%的学生不支持。应用外科病理学数字教学法时，后测试成绩有显著提高（12.54 - 9.79 = 2.75，p = 0.007）。
李克特量表表明，外科病理学数字教学法不仅提高了学生的成绩，还使学生对该学科有了更好的理解。
