Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the application effect of the teaching method of team-based learning (TBL) combined with case-based learning (CBL) in the teaching of military positive psychology.
MethodsA total of 100 medical undergraduates of the class 2017 in Army Medical University were selected and randomly divided into TBL+CBL teaching group and traditional teaching group, with 50 undergraduates in each group. The teaching effect of the two methods was evaluated by assessment of theoretical knowledge and case analysis, questionnaire survey, and psychological evaluation. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform the t-test.
ResultsCompared with the traditional teaching group, the TBL+CBL teaching group had significantly higher scores of theoretical knowledge (54.87±4.98 vs. 48.65±3.51) and case analysis (36.84±2.73 vs. 32.37±2.34). As for the results of psychological evaluation, compared with the traditional teaching group, the TBL+CBL teaching group had a significantly lower score of Symptom Checklist-90 (143.31±43.62 vs. 149.89±46.96) and significantly higher scores of ERC (48.76±5.37 vs. 43.58±5.79) and GWB (107.87±15.56 vs. 102.32±12.13). In addition, the satisfaction rate of the TBL and CBL teaching method reached 95.83% (46/50) in the TBL+CBL group.
ConclusionThe teaching method of TBL combined with CBL can achieve good teaching results in the teaching of military positive psychology and improve students' abilities of knowledge application and psychological adjustment. Therefore, it has good feasibility and applicability.
