Abstract:
This paper aims to conduct the SD-CBL (study design with the case based learning, SD-CBL) in Epidemiologyteaching and evaluate its effect. Students from five classes were recruited, and a combined comprehensive teachingmodel of SD-CBL was used in the “Injury Epidemiology” chapter, while other chapters in “Epidemiology”curriculum were using a teaching model of case based learning (CBL) only or single PowerPoint (ppt) teaching (itwas considered as a traditional teaching in many universities). In the final of the semester, the effects of these threeteaching models were compared in different majors and different students source. We found that SD-CBLcomprehensive teaching model was better than ppt only and CBL teaching methods (P 〈 0.001, P=0.007), and thesignificant differences were found in the increased scoring rate between different majors and different studentssource (P 〈 0.001, P=0.015). Thus, we concluded that the SD-CBL teaching model is effective and worth to promotein “Epidemiology” teaching, especial in chapters of epidemiology application. Moreover, it is recommended toconduct SD-CBL teaching model in students, who are major in medicine and have good science basis.
