The Use of a Mobile Learning Tool by Medical Students in Undergraduate Anatomy and its Effects on Assessment Outcomes

Hand-held devices have revolutionized communication and education in the last decade. Consequently, mobile learning (m-learning) has become popular among medical students. Nevertheless, there are relatively few studies assessing students' learning outcomes using m-learning devices. This observational study presents an anatomy m-learning tool (eMed-App), an application developed to accompany an anatomy seminar and support medical students' self-directed learning of the skeletal system. Questionnaire data describe where, how frequently, and why students used the app. Multiple choice examination results were analyzed to evaluate whether usage of the app had an effect on test scores. The eMed-App application was used by 77.5% of the students, mainly accessed by Android smartphones, and at students' homes (62.2%) in order to prepare themselves for seminar sessions (60.8%), or to review learning content (67%). Most commonly, students logged on for less than 15 minutes each time (67.8%). Frequent app users showed better test results on items covering eMed-App learning content. In addition, users also achieved better results on items that were not related to the content of the app and, thus, gained better overall test results and lower failure rates. The top quartile of test performers used the eMed-App more frequently compared to students in lower quartiles. This study demonstrated that many students, especially the high-performing ones, made use of the eMed-App. However, the app itself did not result in better outcomes, suggesting that top students might have been more motivated to use the app than students who were generally weak in anatomy.     

联系实际改革师范院校舞蹈教学

师范院校毕业生进入市场 ,注重表演技能训练已成为舞蹈教学的现实必需。而学生入校体形发育已成型 ,采用培养舞蹈演员的教学方法难以达到理想的教学目的。必须研究特殊的教育对象 ,因材施教 ,突出重点 ,学练结合 ,从而提高学生的表演和组织能力。     

公共管理类专业实践教学模式研究

传统实践教学模式存在诸多问题,公共管理类专业实践教学应围绕以下技能训练展开：组织管理、社交沟通、行政执法、调查研究、统计分析、公文写作与处理等。可以借助＂学生科创＂平台,让学生参与管理类项目的研究,培养学生调查研究、统计分析、项目论证和撰写研究报告等方面的技能;可以借助统一实习平台,让学生接触和参与管理活动、解决管理中遇到的具体问题,提高学生组织、协调、沟通、社交等方面的技能。     

形成性评价在高中英语教学中的应用研究——以福建省漳州市第三中学为例

教学评价是课堂教学的重要组成部分,科学的评价方式是实现课程目标的有力保证。受传统的教育观和人才观的影响,目前我国高中英语教学的评价方式还依赖终结性评价,学生成绩成为他们的最终定论,而他们的学习过程、情感态度、价值观和能力往往被忽视。文章将形成性评价引入高中英语教学中,以福建省漳州市第三中学高一年级学生为例,尝试使用问卷调查、课堂观察和学习档案袋这三种形成性评价的方法,旨在激发学生学习英语的兴趣,提高其学习的自信心和积极性。同时就形成性评价在实施过程中出现的问题进行了总结和反思。     

论如何提高高校英语专业语法教学效果

高校英语专业的语法课经历了一个从主导到边缘化,又理性回归的过程。目前,虽然众多有识之士认识到语法教学回归的重要性,但高校语法教学的现状依然不容乐观。近年来,探索高校英语专业语法课教学的文章虽然比较多,但这些文章大多都是从语言学理论角度和指导思想角度来写的。教学是一种实践活动,本文以解决语法教学问题为出发点,从实践教学的角度,探讨了几种提高语法教学效果的实用方法,以期对高校英语专业的语法教学有所帮助。     

多媒体教学环境下冗余信息的优化

冗余信息是新信息传播的载体,为科学设计多媒体教学资源,提高信息传播效率,提高教学效果,在科学理解冗余信息的基础上,优化冗余信息,文章在阐述冗余信息基本特征及其功能的基础上,通过对知识构建中信息冗余机理的分析,提出多媒体条件下冗余信息最优化的策略.     

反思--优化学生思维品质的重要手段

在教学教学中培养学生的反思意识,不仅是正确、迅速解决问题的需要和保征,而且也是优化思维品质,提高思维能力的有效途径.本文介绍了笔者在概念教学、解题教学中对此进行的探索.     

Impact of Anatomy Boot Camp on Students in a Medical Gross Anatomy Course

Lincoln Memorial University‐DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU‐DCOM) offers an optional three‐week summer Anatomy Boot Camp course (ABC) to facilitate students' transition into medical school and promote retention of anatomy subject matter. The pre‐matriculation program is a supplemental instruction course that utilizes a small group learning format. Boot camp instruction is led by teaching assistants and two anatomy professors. Enrollees gain early exposure to Medical Gross Anatomy (MGA) course subject matter, which is taught in the fall semester, and learn study skills necessary to excel in medical school. No grade is assigned for the course, therefore participants can study without the fear of potentially affecting grades. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the LMU‐DCOM ABC course using data from four consecutive summers. Independent two‐sample t‐tests were used to compare ABC to non‐ABC students for the following variables: incoming grade point average (GPA) and Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®) scores, MGA written and laboratory practical examination grades, and final MGA course grade. Additionally, a 26‐question survey was administered to 2012–2014 boot camp participants. There were no significant differences in incoming GPA and MCAT scores. However, boot campers scored significantly higher on the first two lecture and laboratory examinations (P < 0.05) for each year of the study. Thereafter scores varied less, suggesting a faster head start for boot camp participants. Mean MGA final grade was on average 3% higher for the boot camp cohort. The survey feedback supports that the ABC course assists with the academic and social transition into medical school. Anat Sci Educ 10: 215–223. © 2016 American Association of Anatomists.     

语音和语音图示对大学英语听力教学的积极作用

正确的英语语音对提高学生听说有很重要的意义,很多学者注重由上至下的信息处理模式,却忽视了学生在听力过程中由下至上的信息处理过程。本文通过对临床医学专业学生的个案研究,探究语音对他们听力水平的影响,验证了语音图示对提高听力水平的积极作用,同时也反映出大学英语教学对语音教学不够重视,而建立语音图示对大学英语听力教学能起到积极作用。
