Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the application effect of a handheld problem-based learning (PBL) teaching software in the blended curriculum teaching of internal medicine clerkships. Methods An experimental control method was adopted. A total of 114 eight-year medical students from the 2020 and 2019 cohorts of Peking University Health Science Center were enrolled in the study. The blended curriculum based on handheld PBL teaching software (experimental group) and traditional PBL teaching (control group) were used for internal medicine clerkship instruction, respectively. The teaching effects and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared. Data were analyzed using t-tests and χ² tests. Results The classroom engagement (90.2% vs. 81.3%) and course assessment scores of the experimental group were better than those of the control group [(93.2±10.6) vs. (81.1±19.1)], and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). The teaching satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. For example, in terms of knowledge comprehension, the satisfaction rates of the experimental and control groups were 94.7% and 70.2%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The blended curriculum teaching model based on handheld PBL teaching software demonstrated good application effects in the instruction of internal medicine clerkship students and was found to better achieve the teaching objectives.
