Application of CPBL teaching model combined with 3D-Body anatomy software in orthopedic clinical teaching

Objective To explore the teaching efficiency of case and problem based learning (CPBL) teaching model combined with 3D-Body anatomy software in orthopedic clinical teaching. Methods During January, 2017 to December, 2017, 76 undergraduates who majored in five-year clinical medicine in our hospital for orthopaedic practice were selected in the research. These students were randomly divided into lecture based learning (LBL) teaching mode group and CPBL teaching model group. Each group had 38 students. Orthopedic clinical teaching was carried out respectively with two teaching modes. After the clinical practice teaching, teaching models were evaluated by comparing examination results of basic clinical knowledge, cases analysis, cases history-taking, clinical manipulative skills of students in two groups and teaching efficiency was evaluated via questionnaire involving four aspects which contained learning interest stimulation, self-study ability promotion, and improvement of clinical thinking ability and clinical manipulative skills. Teaching satisfaction was evaluated via questionnaire of teaching model and efficiency. Results The scores of student's basic clinical knowledge, cases analysis, cases history-taking, clinical manipulative skills in CPBL teaching model group were higher than those in LBL teaching model group (P<0.05). The improvement of student's learning interest, self-study ability, clinical thinking ability and clinical manipulative skills in CPBL teaching model group were better than those in LBL teaching model group (P<0.05). The teaching satisfaction of CPBL group was higher than that of LBL group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of CPBL teaching model combined with 3D-Body anatomy software in orthopedic clinical teaching can effectively stimulate students' learning interest and initiative, improve the students' self-study ability and enhance the ability of solving problem independently. CPBL teaching model is one of good methods for orthopedic clinical teaching for its excellent teaching effect.
