    2024, 44 (11):  805-810.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20231114-00485
    Abstract ( 31 )   PDF (847KB) ( 32 )  
    Course design is crucial for the development of the quality of medical teachers, yet insufficient attention is often paid to this aspect within the realm of medical faculty development. In collaboration with China Medical University and Southern Medical University, the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) has established two international collaborative regional institutes in China and offered programs for the development of medical faculty. This study employed participatory observation and material collection methods to conduct a case study on the course design of international medical faculty development programs offered by these two regional institutes in China. The study found that the course design for international medical faculty development presents the ″six-in-one″ features, integrating six components into an organic whole: ″identification of educational issues,″ ″articulation of educational needs,″ ″establishment of educational objectives,″ ″selection of educational strategies,″ ″implementation of instruction,″ and ″evaluation and improvement of teaching.″ Each component was interconnected, causally related, interdependent, and collaborates closely, emphasizing integration and systematicity, thus forming a closed-loop course design system. This multidimensional instructional design model effectively achieves the program objectives of the regional institutes' international medical faculty development, offering valuable insights into leveraging international resources to advance medical faculty development in the context of China's higher education openness. It also supports the promotion of a localized medical faculty development model rooted in China.

    Abstract ( 24 )   PDF (6541KB) ( 23 )  
    Objective To analyze the impact of peer-assisted learning (PAL) on the learning outcomes of medical students, and evaluate the effect of PAL in medical education. Methods In August 2023, randomized studies on PAL among medical students were conducted through computer search of Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals . Literature screening and meta-analysis were conducted using Endnote 20 and Review Manager 5.4 software. Random effects model was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 33 relevant literature were included. The meta-analysis results showed that PAL significantly improved the learning outcomes of clinical medical students (SMD=0.74 [0.25, 1.23]), but had no significant impact on the learning outcomes of preclinical medical students (SMD=0.39 [-0.04,0.82]). PAL also significantly improved the learning outcomes of clinical skills (SMD=0.87[0.47,1.28]), but had no significant impact on the learning outcomes of theoretical knowledge (SMD=0.49[-0.11,1.10]). Students who participated in PAL for more than 4 weeks had significantly better learning outcomes than those who did not participate in PAL (SMD=1.08 [0.33,1.84]), and whether or not to participate in PAL within 4 weeks did not have a significant impact on students' learning outcomes (SMD=0.27 [-0.10,0.64]). Conclusions The learning outcomes of medical students have significantly improved after participating in PAL, and the most significant effect is in the clinical skills learning stage, which can be maintained for a relatively long time.

    Tang Yanni, Qin Yongjie, Yuan Di, Guo Yujun, Wang Zijian, Wang Na
    2024, 44 (11):  831-837.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20231227-00627
    Abstract ( 6 )   PDF (838KB) ( 6 )  
    Objective To analyze medical undergraduates' preferences on MOOC learning programs, in order to inform MOOC developers and managers to further optimize MOOC resources in medicine. Methods The discrete choice experiment method was used to determine the potential attributes and levels affecting medical undergraduates' MOOC learning preferences through literature review, student interviews, expert consultation, and importance ranking. SAS 9.4 and Stata 17 were used to calculate the optimal choice set numbers and design the discrete choice experiment questionnaire. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 453 full-time medical undergraduates from a higher medical college in Chongqing, and the conditional logit model was used to quantify the preference degree of medical undergraduates for MOOC learning attributes. Results This study collected 375 valid questionnaires, and six attributes including course type, content, difficulty level, duration, summary method, and correlation with formative assessment scores had a significant impact on medical undergraduates' preferences for MOOC learning programs (all P<0.05). The preference for correlation with formative assessment scores (no correlation) was most significant (β=0.38), with the highest relative importance score (0.301). Assuming the removal of correlation with formative assessment scores (no correlation) from the optimal scenario, the probability of students choosing this MOOC learning plan will decrease by 6.14%; compared with public basic courses, the preference for experimental courses (β=0.34) was significantly higher than that for theoretical courses (β=0.16); for the lower-grade group (first and second year) and the higher-grade group (third year and above), the most valued attribute levels were the course summary method (comprehensive lecture of knowledge points) (β=0.35, P<0.001) and course duration (<10 minutes) (β=0.45, P<0.001), respectively. Conclusions Medical undergraduates do not want MOOCs to be correlated with formative assessment scores and prefer to choose experimental MOOCs for learning. There is heterogeneity in the preferences for MOOC learning programs among medical undergraduates at different learning stages. It is recommended to reduce the correlation between medical undergraduates' MOOC scores and formative assessment scores in blended teaching; to focus on supplementing, updating, and integrating medical experimental MOOCs, to explore a new model of full online experimental teaching combining MOOCs and virtual simulation experiments; to emphasize ″learning according to needs,″ and to build a MOOC teaching system suitable for medical undergraduates at different learning stages to improve the quality and efficiency of MOOC learning.

    2024, 44 (11):  838-842.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20230708-00664
    Abstract ( 13 )   PDF (808KB) ( 8 )  
    Objective To explore the application of a digital oral teaching evaluation system in the preparation evaluation of dental restoration teeth. Methods In December 2022, 5 teachers from the Department of Prosthetics at the Fourth Military Medical University Stomatological Hospital and 30 students majoring in Stomatology in 2018 were selected as the research subjects. The digital dental teaching evaluation system (DHC220) was used to train teachers and conduct dental preparation operation assessments. Divide students evenly into Group A and Group B using a random number table method. The teacher first rates the dental preparation operations of Group A students, and then rates Group B students after receiving DHC220 training. Meanwhile, DHC220 automatically rates two groups of students through the system. Apply Friedman test for statistical analysis of teacher ratings and DHC220 ratings, and calculate the intra group correlation coefficient of teacher ratings to evaluate their consistency. Results DHC220 rated Group A students at 65 (25); The scores for Teacher 1 to Teacher 5 were 82 (12), 80 (10), 82 (10), 75 (10), and 83 (8), respectively. The overall difference between the DHC220 score and the teacher score was statistically significant (P<0.001), and only the score of Teacher 4 had no statistically significant difference with the DHC220 score (all P>0.05). The intra group correlation coefficient of teacher ratings was 0.79, indicating good consistency. DHC220's rating for Group B students was 68 (15) points; The scores for Teacher 1 to Teacher 5 were 74 (19), 75 (20), 72 (11), 73 (17), and 74 (13), respectively. The difference between DHC220 scores and teacher scores was still statistically significant (P<0.001), but only the difference between Teacher 1's score and DHC220 scores was statistically significant (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of scores between other teachers and DHC220, as well as between teacher scores (all P>0.05). The intra group correlation coefficient of teacher ratings was 0.95, indicating excellent consistency. Conclusions Utilizing a digital teaching assessment system for teacher training can enhance the consistency, accuracy, and objectivity of teachers in evaluating tooth preparations. To a certain extent, it facilitates more effective assessment and feedback in the teaching process.

    2024, 44 (11):  853-857.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20240129-00100
    Abstract ( 18 )   PDF (801KB) ( 18 )  
    Objective To investigate the attitude and influencing factors on academic integrity for medical postgraduates, as well as to inform the promotion of academic integrity. Methods A survey was conducted among graduate students by the cluster sampling at Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science & Technology, between October 2021 and October 2023. The Bio-psychological-social medical model was utilized to evaluate the effects of social, psychological, and personal factors on medical postgraduates' attitudes toward academic integrity. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Results A total of 1 151 graduate students participated in this study. 14.2% (163/1 151) of respondents exhibited potential risky attitudes toward academic integrity. The logistic regression analysis showed no significant variation between personal factors (all P>0.05). Psychologically, graduate students with less pressure to publish were 0.65 times more likely to display potential risky attitudes toward academic integrity than those with high pressure (OR=0.65, 95% CI=0.44-0.98). Socially, graduate students who perceived a positive research environment were 0.46 times more likely to exhibit potential risky attitudes toward academic integrity than those in a poor climate (OR=0.46, 95%CI=0.29-0.73). Those who had participated in research training in the last year were 0.66 times more likely to have potential risky attitudes toward academic integrity than those without such training (OR=0.66 , 95% CI=0.45-0.96). Graduate students exposed to advertisements for paper writing or publishing in the last year were 2.67 times more likely to have potential risky attitudes toward academic integrity than those who had not received relevant advertisements (OR=2.67, 95% CI=1.87-3.80). Conclusions The attitudes of a minority of medical graduate students toward academic integrity are at potential risk. Reducing publication pressure, fostering a supportive research environment, promoting research integrity education, and curbing the commercialization of academic work may help reduce the incidence of academic misconduct.

    2024, 44 (11):  858-863.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20230801-00075
    Abstract ( 26 )   PDF (855KB) ( 22 )  
    Objective Based on the theoretical frameworks of learning engagement, self-efficacy, and satisfaction, this study explored the influence of course learning engagement on course satisfaction and the mediating role of course self-efficacy among medical master's degree graduates to improve the quality of medical master's degree training. Methods From June to July 2021, a self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate and analyze the course learning engagement, course self-efficacy, and course satisfaction of 9,262 recent master's degree graduates in medicine from 74 institutions across China. The entropy weighting method was used to calculate the weights of the indicators and to construct composite scores for course learning engagement, course self-efficacy, and course satisfaction. T-tests or ANOVA were used to compare the differences in scores among different demographic groups; Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the correlations among the three scores; and finally, the mediating role of course self-efficacy was examined using hierarchical regression analysis. Results The scores for course learning engagement, course self-efficacy, and course satisfaction among medical master's degree students were (3.87±0.77), (3.85±0.75), and (3.84±0.86), respectively. There was a positive correlation between course learning engagement and course self-efficacy (r=0.94, P<0.05) as well as between course learning engagement and course satisfaction (r=0.73, P<0.05). Course self-efficacy was also positively correlated with course satisfaction (r=0.73, P<0.05). Course learning engagement positively influenced course satisfaction, with course self-efficacy playing a partial mediating role (β=0.421, P<0.001). Conclusions The scores for course learning engagement, course self-efficacy, and course satisfaction among medical master's degree students were all at moderately high levels. Course learning engagement positively influenced course satisfaction, and course self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between course learning engagement and course satisfaction. To enhance graduate students' course satisfaction, medical schools should focus on individual students' learning behaviors and confidence.

    Chen Lu, Yu Jingfei, Zhang Xinyi, Xiang Ruhao, Li Shangrong, Chen Jiahui, Wang Dan, Chang Jiangyi, Zeng Hui, Yao Yao
    2024, 44 (11):  864-868.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20231225-00616
    Abstract ( 24 )   PDF (834KB) ( 32 )  
    Objective To understand the current status of information management in standardized residency training bases in Guangdong Province, and to provide a basis for the standardized residency training. Methods From April to July 2023, a questionnaire survey was used to investigate the current status of the information management function of residents in 61 residency training bases in Guangdong Province. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used to analyze the results. Results The information system coverage rate of residency training bases in Guangdong Province was 98.4% (60/61). The overall functional score for the information management of residents across the 60 residency training bases was (63.18±11.64), with an average score of (59.71±12.22) for various subdivided functions. Among them, subdivided functions such as admission and admission education scored higher (76.45±24.10), while communication and feedback scored lower (38.70±30.84). The overall functional score for the information management of residents and the score for rotation management positively correlated with the pass rate of the residents' final assessment (r=0.33 and 0.37, both P<0.05). Conclusions The level of information management of residents depends on the degree of attention and investment of the residency training base, and the degree of attention given to the management of residency training under the guidance of the information system determines the quality of the training of residents. The study of information system construction standards can help residency training bases with a relatively weak foundation quickly realize the need of improvement in management system and training quality. The establishment of a provincial residency information management platform can promote high-quality development of residency training in the region.
