| Summary: | AIM:To investigate the effect of problem-based learning(PBL)combined with standardized patient(SP)in the teaching of basic science of ophthalmology. <p>METHODS: Sixty-four students of Optometry in grade 2012 were randomly divided into experimental group(<i>n</i>=32)and control group(<i>n</i>=32). Traditional teaching method was implemented in control group while PBL combined with SP was applied in experimental group. At the end of term students were interviewed using self-administered questionnaire to obtain their evaluation for teaching effect. Measurement data were expressed as <i>(-overx)</i>±<i>s</i> and analyzed by independent samples <i>t</i> test. Enumeration data were analyzed by <i>χ</i><sup>2</sup> test, and <i>P</i><0.05 significantly statistical differences.<p>RESULTS:The mean scores of theory test(83.22±3.75)and experimental test(94.28±2.20)in experimental group were significantly higher than theory test(70.72±3.95)and experimental test(85.44±3.52)in control group(all <i>P</i><0.01). The mean scores of diagnose inquiry, ophthalmologic examination, clinical diagnosis and medical record writing were higher than that in the control group, difference had statistical significance(<i>P</i><0.01). The students in experimental group had a significantly better self-assessment than the control group in learning enthusiasm, consciousness of team cooperation, ability of language expression, comprehensive analysis ability, self-learning ability, innovation ability, summarizing ability, practice ability, and systematic knowledge structure. The differences were statistically significant in questionnaire between the two groups(all <i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION:Using PBL combined with SP teaching mode in basic science of ophthalmology can highly improve learning enthusiasm of students and cultivate self-learning ability of students, practice ability and ability of clinical analysis. |
