Abstract:

Objective　To explore the effect of using PBL method combined with the seminar mode on graduate students’

laser medicine teaching. Methods　Sixty graduate students majoring in clinical medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University

School of Medicine from grade 2020 to 2021 were selected. The students were randomly divided into two groups,with 30 members

in each group. The experimental group adopted PBL-seminar combining teaching mode, while the control group adopted

conventional teaching method. A questionnaire was designed to investigate students’

satisfaction with teaching effect and study

interest. The assessment results (knowledge level and classroom performance) of the two groups were compared after teaching.

Results　The majority (93%, 28/30) of graduate students have a good level of satisfaction with the PBL-seminar combining

teaching mode and agree that it can help them increase their study interest and enhance their self-learning ability. The

knowledge level and classroom observation results of the students in the combining teaching group were significantly better than

those in the traditional teaching group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion　The application of PBL

seminar combining teaching mode in teaching laser medicine to graduate students can stimulate students’

interest in learning,

tap into their thinking potential, and help improve their knowledge level and self-learning ability. Students are highly satisfied

with this teaching mode.
