Abstract:
AIM To explore the application and effect of case based learning (CBL) and problem based learning (PBL) based on the mind map in the standardized training of resident cardiologists.
METHODS The teaching of Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Failure was taken as an example for this study. Forty residents on rotation in cardiology department of our hospital from June to December 2019 were randomly selected and the CBL+PBL teaching mode based on mind mapping was adopted (experimental group). Forty residents on rotation in cardiology department of our hospital from June to December 2018 trained using CBL+PBL teaching mode only served as the control group. The two groups were compared by satisfaction questionnaire survey, theoretical and clinical skill examinations and teaching effect evaluation.
RESULTS The results of satisfaction questionnaire survey and examinations, and ability to solve problems and learning interest in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group.
CONCLUSION The application of mind map in CBL+PBL in the teaching of Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Failure significantly enhanced the teaching effect. It improves not only students’ subjective initiative, but also their ability of practice. This teaching mode needs to be further improved and promoted.
