摘要: 目的 调查北京大学医学部生物医学英语专业课程体系的现状与问题,为课程体系的完善提出建议。方法 以北京大学生物医学英语专业2010级~2012级的92名学生为调查对象,通过问卷调查,收集学生对该专业全部93门课程重要性的评分,并获取学生对该专业课程体系的反馈信息。结果 被调查学生对医学类课程的重要性评分为(3.76±0.20)分,明显低于语言类课程的(4.15±0.34)分,差异具有统计学意义(F=24.42,P<0.001)。学生普遍认为现有课程体系在广度、深度、衔接和学期分布等方面存在问题,必修课程与医学类课程比重过大,医学类课程与语言类课程缺乏融合。结论 有必要对现有课程体系进行改革与调整,精简整合医学类课程,提高语言类课程的选修课程比例,加大课程体系中医学与英语的有机融合,探索建立网络课程。

Abstract: Objective This study examined the curriculum of the Biomedical English Program of Peking University Health Science Center and identified issues in its design, in an attempt to inform improvement efforts in this regard.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to 92 undergraduates enrolled to this program between 2010 and 2012, where the students were required to rate the perceived importance of all the 93 courses in the program and give feedback on the current curriculum and curriculum system.Results Medical courses were perceived to be significantly less important than language courses [(3.76±0.20) vs (4.15±0.34), F=24.42, P<0.001]. The students suggested that issues existed in the current curriculum concerning scope, depth, transition and term distribution; that the ratios of compulsory and medical courses were too large; and that there was a lack of cohesion between medical and language courses.Conclusions It is necessary to adjust the curriculum by consolidating medical courses, increasing elective courses on the language side, fostering greater cohesion of medical science and language training, and creating online courses.
