The application of flipped classroom teaching model combining scientific research expansion in the teaching of thoracic surgery

BackgroundThe Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Clinical Medical College of Guangdong Medical University took the lead in introducing the flipped classroom teaching mode combining scientific research expansion into the undergraduate teaching of clinical medicine in 2018. This teaching mode has achieved good teaching effects.ObjectiveThrough the flipped classroom based on role exchange, it is observed whether students can achieve a comprehensive understanding of lung cancer, whether they have basic scientific research quality, innovative application ability and stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning.MethodsDuring the research process, teachers prepare their lessons meticulously. Students interpret the study materials line by line as required, identify difficulties, and engage in discussions to resolve them. If unable to resolve, they can ask questions through various channels such as QQ, WeChat, or email. This allows students to choose their study time independently, achieving personalized learning. Teachers adjust in real-time and effectively formulate teaching plans, objectives, and progress.ResultsFor this teaching method reform, most students believed that this teaching improved their teamwork skills, PPT creation skills, and active problem-solving abilities, improved their understanding of scientific research, stimulated their interest in scientific research, deepened their understanding and understanding of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, and enhanced their enthusiasm for learning.ConclusionThis not only stimulated students' enthusiasm for learning thoracic surgery but also improved their scientific research and clinical thinking abilities, resulting in good teaching outcomes.
