医学微生物学"项目-导师制"实验教学改革初探

目的:探讨"项目-导师制"实验教学改革效果及其在医学微生物学实验教学中应用价值.方法:采用"项目-导师制"法对2001级学生进行医学微生物学实验教学,以无记名问卷调查和专家评议方式了解实验教学效果,以现场操作了解学生实验技能,以相对标准化试卷综合测试学生成绩,并与2000级学生医学微生物学实验教学效果、实验技能、考试成绩进行回顾性和对比分析.结果:2001级和2000级学生实验教学效果不满意、满意、很满意率分别为0%(0/180)、25.00%(45/180)、75.00%(135/180)和55.38%(72/130)、34.62%(45/130)、10.00%(13/130),差异有显著性(P＜0.01).实验技能考核及格、良好、优秀率分别为0%(0/180)、22.22%(40/180)、77.78%(140/180)和56.92%(74/130)、35.38%(46/130)、7.69%(10/130),差异有显著性(P＜0.01).综合考试成绩不及格、及格、良好、优秀率分别为0%(0/180)、17.78%(32/180)、47.22%(85/180)、35.00%(63/180)和154%(2/130)、38.46%(50/130)、52.31%(68/130)、7.69%(10/130),差异有显著性(P＜0.01).结论:"项目-导师制"实验教学是一种新型实验教学模式,可显著增强实验教学效果,帮助学生快速掌握实验技能,提高学生综合考试成绩,克服传统实验教学存在的一些弊端,具有应用推广价值.     

Comparing orthodontic undergraduate student satisfaction with teaching in Leeds,UK and Marburg,Germany

A questionnaire was used to compare undergraduate student satisfaction with orthodontic teaching in two units; one in Leeds, UK, the other in Marburg, Germany. Whilst the methods of teaching differed between the units, the aim was to highlight aspects of both courses which students might wish to see improved. Statistical analysis suggested that students appreciate clarity of course structure and means of assessment and that use of a course manual is helpful in achieving this. Recommended texts to back-up course work are also appreciated whilst students from both locations, want to see more patients. Alternatives, such as patient case folders, computer-assisted learning packages and use of videos showing treatment progression, seem to be acceptable alternatives should there be difficulty in supplying “real” patients. The relevance of laboratory courses needs to be reviewed. Overall, the use of student questionnaires is seen as a useful tool in monitoring standards of teaching.     

Candidaemia: a 10-year study in an Indian teaching hospital

Retrospective evaluation of candidaemia patients was performed in an Indian teaching hospital over a 10-year period. The incidence of patients with candidaemia increased eleven-fold in the second half of the study period (55 patients) compared with the first half (5 patients). Haematological malignancies (11 patients), neonatal septicaemia (9), cardiac abnormalities and cardiac surgery (9) were the commonest underlying diseases in these patients. Candida albicans (50%), C. guilliermondii (17%), C. tropicalis (15%) and C. parapsilosis (8%) were the most common fungal pathogens isolated from blood culture. Therapy with two or more antibiotics (92%), corticosteroid administration (25%), intravascular catheter use for over 24 h (78%) and neutropenia (48%) were the accountable predisposing factors. Prolonged hospitalization (mean average 22.2 days as compared with 11.2 days in other patients) was an added risk factor in these patients.     

House officers in general medicine: their perception of educational value of rotation components

Summary: As curriculum planners in general medicine residency training programmes we were concerned about house officers' anecdotal reports that hospital work requirements often overshadow individual learning goals. After each of five rotations, we asked residents to identify the educational 'usefulness' of certain rotation components which can be included in three categories; team members, work-related activities and educational events. Of 165 surveys distributed, 127 (77%) were returned. Data were analysed by residency year and by all years combined. The mean overall perception of learning was 3.9 out of a possible 5 points suggesting that residents do find some learning value. Results suggest that different residency years vary as to the significance of specific educational components. The importance of faculty/resident relationships to residents' perceptions of learning value was highlighted in particular.
