ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of blended teaching model based on "Rain Class" in general practitioner training.Methods Random sampling method was adopted in which totally 132 general practitioners were divided into two groups,66 in experimental group,66 in the control group.Blended teaching method and traditional teaching method was implemented in the experimental group and the control group,respectively.At the end of the course,unified examination questions were used to evaluate the teaching effect,and questionnaires were used to investigate the students' evaluation of the "rain classroom" teaching method.Results The final exam score of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group [(82.95 ± 12.86) vs.(60.45 ± 18.91),P=0.000].Further stratification analysis was conducted according to educational background,and the average score of low education group in the observation group was significantly higher than that of high education group [(88.06 ± 9.12) vs.(49.66 ± 13.88),P=0.000].55.3％ of the general practitioners in experimental group were very satisfied with "Rain Class" teaching,34.8％ satisfied,and only 9.9％ of the general practitioners were dissatisfied.Conclusion Blended teaching model could help to promote the exchange and interaction between students and teachers and improve learning efficiency and clinical ability.
