Application and evaluation of inquiry teaching mode for graduated students in large-scale biomedical equipment courses
Abstract
Objective To test and evaluate the inquiry teaching (IT) mode for graduates students in course of Theory and Application of Large-scale Biomedical Equipments and provide a basis to support its routine application in the future. Methods Design the experiments basing on the IT mode. Summarize the strategy, performance and results. Evaluate the training outcomes with the education monitoring theory and the statistic approaches. Analyze the questionnaire data quantitatively according to reliability, correlation coefficient and discrimination. Results Experiments derived from inquiry teaching (IT) mode were employed in grade 2017 and 2018 graduats . The primary results are satisfied. There are 23 students involving these tests. The reliability of questionnaire is good with α value as 0.852. Twenty-three questions in 27 ones show the significant differences. Conclusions The results of questionnaire show satisfied reliability, correlation coefficient, discrimination and coverage. This indicates that this mode may be employed in evaluation of teaching. The design, difficulty and schedule are major influencing factors of IT experiments.
