Hypothesis
There is a significant difference in learning effectiveness between clinical students in the PBL online teaching group and the traditional teaching group in the cardiac surgery internship.
Conclusion
The PBL teaching method can stimulate students’ interest in learning and improve their comprehensive abilities in cardiac surgery.
Supporting Evidence
- The PBL group had significantly higher scores in participation and understanding compared to the traditional group.
- Students in the PBL group showed improved mastery of clinical skills after the internship.
- The study indicates that traditional teaching methods may not fully engage students in learning.
Takeaway
This study shows that using a new teaching method makes learning more fun and helps students understand cardiac surgery better.
Methodology
A historical controlled trial with 34 participants in the PBL group and 42 in the traditional group, using questionnaires to assess teaching quality.
Potential Biases
The study may have biases due to the self-developed measurement instruments and the non-randomized selection of participants.
Limitations
The study had a small sample size and potential biases due to different assessment standards between groups.
Participant Demographics
Participants were clinical students from the graduating classes of 2020 and 2021, aged 21 to 25, with a mix of genders.
